UK aid is also channelled through multilateral organisations through core contributions. It is not possible to track directly the funding down to the country or sector level.
DFID estimates the UK share of multilateral spend in countries based on the overall proportions of ODA to each country reported by multilaterals and DFID's share of total core contributions.
The UK's imputed multilateral share of ODA to India was £36 million in 2009-10 and £273 million in 2010-11 (the latest year for which estimates are available).
