UK aid review: which countries is DfID cutting?

UK aid to the developing world has received a huge shake-up - with complete cuts for many countries and increases for others.

The report, out today from the Department for International Development (DfID) shows that a review of the £8.4bn budget means the end of aid to Russia, Serbia, China, Cambodia.

Yemen, regarded by Britain as a failing state whose lack of economic development provides a fertile recruiting ground for al-Qaida, will be doubled from £46.7m this year to £90m by 2014-2015.

The figures are a huge change for UK aid spending - some of the key facts are:

• The biggest increase in aid is for Somalia, which sees a 208% change. This is followed by Nigeria, with a 116% change
• The average change is a 25% increase, but this disguises big rises for some countries and huge cuts for others. The total budget will increase by 42%% between now and 2014/15
• India, which was thought to face a complete cut, will instead see a small rise of 2.19%
• Yemen sees an 80% increase over the same period - up to £305m
• Pakistan will receive the most aid - £1.4bn, up 107%
