ONE's new independent report audits all of the UK's existing bilateral and multilateral aid commitments and presents an analysis of what results will be delivered.

Comparisons:

British aid in 2013 will be less than 1 penny in every pound of national income · The amount of edible food thrown away each year is worth £12 billion – still more than the entire aid budget will be after reaching 0.7%. · In 2010 the UK population was 62.3 million. For every person in the UK we spend £144.46 on international aid a year, or £2.79 per person per week or 40p per day
