At the Gleneagles Summit, the UK committed 'to double its bilateral spending in Africa between [the financial years] 2003/04 and 2007/08'. It also 'announced a timetable to reach 0.7% ODA/GNI by 2013'. The UK’s commitment was made as part of the 2005 EU commitment on development assistance, which stipulated that 50% of the increases would be directed to sub-Saharan Africa. In 2007 the UK established annual budgetary spending plans for global ODA, reaching £9.1 billion by 2010/11.

To meet this commitment, the UK would need to increase ODA to sub-Saharan Africa from £1.57 billion ($2.453 billion) in 2004 to £3.955 billion ($6.177 million) in 2010.
