Significant events

“In the final months of FY25, significant changes to the markets for aid donor-funded consulting were taking place. On top of the closure of USAID, the UK government announced a further deep cut in UK Official Development Assistance, a move that has been echoed across many major aid donors.”
“The subsequent closure of USAID, coupled with the announcement of a reduction in the UK ODA budget from 0.5% GNI to 0.3% GNI in 2027, will significantly undermine this momentum.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
