DFID New White Paper on development
DFID News New White Paper: out now:
"On Thursday 13 July DFID launched its new White Paper on International Development, 'eliminating world poverty: making governance work for the poor'. It sets out what the UK Government will do to reduce world poverty over the next five years.
The White Paper sets out DFID's priorities and explains how we will work with the rest of UK Government, partner governments, international organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and academics to fulfil the promises made in 2005 to significantly reduce world poverty.
The White Paper's main messages are:
We will deliver the promises we made in 2005 by: increasing our development budget to 0.7% of gross national income by 2013; concentrating our resources on the poorest countries - particularly sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia - and working more in fragile states; making sure that wider UK policies support development; and doubling funding for science and technology.
We will put governance at the centre of our work - focusing on building states that are capable, responsive and accountable to their citizens. We will use a new framework for assessing the quality of governance to do this and use the assessment to tailor our support appropriately to country circumstances. We will also step up our efforts dramatically to tackle corruption internationally, for example through a new anti-corruption unit and follow up to Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.
We will increase our effort to help people have security, incomes through growth and public services. We will commit 50% of all future bilateral aid to public services for poor people - social protection will be a major new area of work.
We will work internationally to tackle climate change, by helping developing countries to participate in international negotiations on climate change"
