The Department for International Development (DFID), a UK Government department, is responsible for promoting development and reduction of poverty, and its current focus is to contribute to the halving of the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by 2015. Associated targets include basic health care provision and universal access to primary education by the same date. DFID seeks to work in partnership with governments committed to these targets, with business, civil society and the research community. DFID also works with multilateral institutions such as the World Bank, United Nations agencies such as the World Health Organization, and the European Community. DFID is helping to ensure the process of change brings benefits to all people, particularly the poorest, and for this reason has been a supporter of lymphatic filariasis elimination. |
