Rethink on UK foreign aid spending
Updated on 06 July 2009
Britain is to target foreign aid at improving security and justice in the world's most "fragile" states.
International Development Secretary Douglas Alexander is due to say that up to half of new aid could be pushed into states ravaged by war, weak governments and poverty-fuelled civil unrest.
Countries such as Sudan, Somalia and Afghanistan will be the main beneficiaries of the switch, which will be set out in a White Paper arguing that security and justice are "basic services".
