They will work in partnership with others across DFID, Whitehall and the international system to achieve change. GDED will focus on a small number of achievable, strategic objectives and its priorities will be determined by what country teams tell them will contribute most to their work.

  • working with other donors, bilaterally and through international processes like the G8, to improve rich country policies that affect development;
  • fighting international corruption and increasing financial accountability;
  • promoting aid effectiveness and the country-led approach;
  • improving the international aid architecture;
  • ensuring that donors meet their promises to scale up aid so that there are more resources available for development;
  • promoting trade policies that encourage economic growth and poverty reduction;
  • managing development for results; and
  • using statistics to inform and support development programmes.
