  • BBC World Service – Written Evidence (AFG0015)
    BBC World Service – Written evidence (AFG0015) International Relations and Defence Committee inquiry into The UK and Afghanistan September 2020 Introduction BBC World Service provides trusted news to radio, TV and digital audiences around the world in 42 languages including English. It is chiefly funded by the UK Licence Fee with additional funding of £86m a year coming from Government in the form of a Grant channelled via the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office which has enabled the biggest expansion of the World Service since the 1940s. The World Service’s expansion (known as the World 2020 programme) included the launch of 12 new language services aimed at Nigeria, Ethiopia & Eritrea, India, Serbia and the Korean peninsula, enhanced programming in English, Arabic and Russian and the opening of new bureaux in Nairobi, Lagos and Delhi. Government funding has been confirmed up until September 2021 – funding beyond that point will be decided as part of the Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR). A large percentage of the additional funding the World Service receives from the Government is classed as Official Development Assistance (ODA). As well as providing impartial, accurate and independent news wherever there is a need due to media freedom restrictions or lack of means of access, the World Service plays a role in holding power to account, offering insight and fresh perspective during conflicts and as a defence against fake news and disinformation. This year’s Global Audience Measure1 showed that BBC’s news services now reach 438m people across the globe each week, an increase of 13% on last year. In Afghanistan, the seventh largest market for the BBC outside the UK, the BBC reaches 11.4m people every week – over 50% of the adult population – via the BBC Afghan service in Dari and Pashto, BBC Persian, BBC Uzbek as well as via commercially funded BBC World News TV and bbc.com/news.
