Accelerate Trade Facilitation Programme

HM Revenue and Customs

The Accelerate Trade Facilitation Programme aims to promote the economic development of developing countries, as per the OECD definition of Official Development Assistance (ODA), by delivering capacity building, supporting eligible countries in implementing provisions of the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA). Trade facilitation is recognised as a key contributor towards economic development. The TFA aims to improve trade efficiency worldwide and lower trade costs by cutting red tape at borders, increasing transparency and predictability, reducing border-related corruption and taking advantage of new technologies. The Programme is delivered primarily through our two delivery partners: World Customs Organisation (WCO) and the UN Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD), who each bring unique expertise and experience in border management, processes and procedures. HMRC also brings together experts from across HMRC to provide support and knowledge sharing to partner countries on a government-to-government level.

Financial Action Task Force (FATF) UK Voluntary Contribution

HM Treasury

UK contribution to support to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the international standard setter for tackling money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing, to increase the number of staff within its Global Network Coordination Group (GNCG). This enables GNCG to considerably increase its engagement with, and improve the quality of country assessments conducted by, the FATF-style regional bodies (FSRBs), and improve understanding of the FATF Standards among FSRB member countries. More robust, timely assessments and improved understanding of international AML/CTF/CPF standards drives more effective, more timely corrective measures around the world, leading to reduced opportunities for and improved law enforcement responses to financial crime. This additional engagement also enables and improves the effectiveness of other development interventions from other capacity building providers, including the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and others, as the regional institutional frameworks will be strengthened and knowledge of the FATF Standards will be increased.

DWP In-Donor Refugee Costs (IDRC)

UK - Department for Work and Pensions

The OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC)’s clarifications to the statistical reporting directives on reporting in-donor refugee costs (IDRC) as Official Development Assistance (ODA) state that member countries should report as ODA certain forms of support given to refugees within their first year of arrival within the donor country. In 2023 the UK Government published a methodology setting out how these should be interpreted in a UK context. This clarified that people granted visas under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) and the Homes for Ukraine, Ukraine Family, and Ukraine Extension schemes should be classed as refugees for ODA reporting purposes. It also set out which forms of support should be reported as ODA. In line with the OECD DAC clarifications and the UK Government’s IDRC reporting methodology, DWP reports as ODA certain mainstream welfare benefits paid to people with ODA-eligible visa types during their first year in the UK. The ODA-eligible benefits are Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Attendance Allowance, Personal Independence Payments and child Disability Living Allowance.
