英国政府已证实将大幅削减其双边援助计划。随着海外发展支出从国民总收入的0.5%降至0.3%，到2029年，有9个非洲国家将失去80%以上的英国直接援助。\n\n对非双边援助预计将从16亿英镑降至7亿英镑以下。肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚、马拉维、莫桑比克和赞比亚是面临最大幅度削减的国家之列。肯尼亚的资金将减少93%，马拉维和莫桑比克的双边支持将减少90%。\n\n这些削减还波及了陷入人道主义危机的国家。\n\n英国对刚果民主共和国（Democratic Republic of the Congo）的援助将减少29%，该国目前正面临有记录以来最大规模的埃博拉疫情之一。总体而言，英国对非洲的援助预计将下降56%，在未来四年内，对世界上最不发达国家的资金支持将几乎减半。\n\n发展组织对这一决定提出了强烈批评，警告称这些削减可能会逆转多年来在卫生、教育和人道主义援助方面取得的进展。他们认为，削减资金将使弱势群体更容易受到冲突、饥荒和气候相关灾害的冲击。\n\n研究人员表示，面临最大幅度削减的几个国家拥有数百万生活在极度贫困中的民众。但英国政府表示，这些调整是支付增加的国防开支所需的，并称未来的发展援助将通过更有针对性的伙伴关系和多边机构来交付。

Africa: UK to Cut Aid to Some African Countries by 90%



原文原文 / Original Text

The UK government has confirmed sweeping reductions to its bilateral aid programme. Nine African countries are set to lose more than 80% of direct British assistance by 2029 as overseas development spending is cut from 0.5% to 0.3% of Gross National Income.

Bilateral aid to Africa is expected to fall from £1.6 billion to less than £700 million. Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia are among the countries facing the steepest cuts. Kenya will see a 93% reduction in funding, and Malawi and Mozambique 90% of bilateral support.

The cuts also hit countries with humanitarian crises.

UK aid to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is battling one of its largest Ebola outbreaks on record, will fall by 29%. Overall, UK aid to Africa is projected to decline by 56%, with funding for the world's least-developed countries nearly halved over the next four years.

Development organisations have strongly criticised the decision, warning that the reductions could reverse years of progress in health, education and humanitarian assistance. They argued that the cuts will leave vulnerable communities more exposed to conflict, hunger and climate-related disasters.

Researchers have said that several of the countries facing the deepest reductions are home to millions of people living in extreme poverty. But the UK government said the changes are needed to help pay for increased defence spending and says future development assistance will be delivered through more targeted partnerships and multilateral institutions.
