Who DFID Works With
The Millennium Development Goals represent a united international commitment to reduce
poverty by 2015. Achieving the Goals will depend upon a coherent international approach,
with agreed policies to support development and effective collaboration between institutions
and nations.
DFID attaches great importance to its role within this system. In addition to its
work as a bilateral donor to individual countries, 38% of total DFID development assistance
funding goes through multilateral agencies. Effective engagement of all these parts of the
international system is needed if the Millennium Development Goals are to be met.
Strengthening the international system means ensuring that the policies and programmes of all
parts of the system work coherently in helping to bring about poverty reduction.
This involves
international institutions such as the World Bank, the United Nations and the World Trade
Organisation, and developed country groupings such as the European Union (EU).
