About DFID
The Department for International Development (DFID) is the British government department responsible for promoting development and the reduction of poverty. Its central focus is a commitment to the internationally agreed target to halve the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by 2015. Associated targets include ensuring basic health care provision and universal access to primary education by the same date. DFID aims to work in partnership with other governments committed to these targets, as well as with business and the private sector, civil society and the research community, to support progress in reducing world poverty. It also works with multilateral institutions, including the World Bank, UN agencies and the European Commission.
