The Department for International Development (DFID) is the part of UK government that manages Britain's aid to poor countries and works to get rid of extreme poverty.
One in five people in the world today, over 1 billion people, live in poverty on less than one dollar a day. In an increasingly interdependent world, many problems – like conflict, crime, pollution, and diseases such as HIV and AIDS – are caused or made worse by poverty.
DFID supports long-term programmes to help eliminate the underlying causes of poverty. DFID also respond to emergencies, both natural and man-made. DFID's work aims to reduce poverty and disease and increase the number of children in school, as part of the internationally agreed UN 'Millennium Development Goals'.
