It also paid for a conference on "preventing gender-based disinformation" in Kenya, costing ￡110,000, and Criminal Justice Advisor in Somalia for ￡473,070.

A Directorate of Military Women’s Affairs in Jordan received ￡500,000 for its army's "gender mainstreaming strategy," and 15 electric vans worth the same amount were given to Albanian prisons.
Campaigners said money has also gone to environmental causes, with ￡25 million being spent on "green urban growth" in Somalia and ￡38 million on "green growth" in Nepal.
This comes as the Government faces mounting pressure to further support Ukraine by increasing defence spending to 2.5% of GDP, generating an extra ￡5bn a year.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte called for member states to increase spending to 3% of their GDP, while Donald Trump has demanded 5%.

"The spending review will set out the road map to that target."
Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride told the outlet: "Given the Chancellor’s disastrous Budget, it’s clear that we must urgently rein in these pointless and eye-watering spending projects to stop further tax rises on hard-working families.
"The time for -reckless spending is over. We need a Government that prioritises value for money, not waste - and under new leadership, only the Conservatives will deliver that."
