The UK government has increased funding for the BBC World Service, with the exact amount remaining undisclosed. This additional funding comes from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. The BBC expressed gratitude for the funding and mentioned that it could be used to enhance emergency information services in regions like Gaza, Sudan, and Ukraine. The government’s budget document stated that the funding increase aims to protect the World Service’s existing foreign language services and its mission to provide globally trusted media. Previously, the government fully funded the World Service until 2014 when it transitioned to providing grants for specific projects along with additional funds. Last year, the budget for the BBC World Service was around £369m(€442m).
