Department for International Development (DFID)
DFID is the arm of the UK government that manages Britain’s aid to the developing world and works to get rid of extreme poverty. It has its headquarters in London and East Kilbride, near Glasgow, with country offices in about 40 developing countries.
DFID provides aid to around 90 countries, working in partnership with governments, civil society, the private sector, charities and multilateral institutions including the World Bank, UN agencies, and the European Commission. DFID’s support for security sector reform (SSR) programmes is rooted in the fact that badly-managed, irresponsible security sectors lead to unstable governments, excessive military expenditure, human rights abuses and intractable poverty. On the other hand, well-managed and responsible security sectors reduce the incidence of violent conflict and create an environment in which poverty-reducing development can occur.
