Development Initiatives

Development Initiatives is today launching its updated and user-friendly group website. The new site sports a more up-to-date look, and is designed to better showcase our people, our message, and the various "Initiatives" – our programmes that work to eliminate poverty through the transformative power of information.

The United Kingdom, through DFID, is an important donor to influence.  Not only is the UK a major donor in terms of aid volume, but it is also a respected leader in progressive aid policies and new ideas to support better aid delivery. 
DFID’s policy and direction is controlled by the Parliament of the day, currently led by Gordon Brown’s Labour government.  But Parliament is drawing to the end of its term, and a general election to elect a new Parliament must be held by no later than Thursday, 3 June 2010. 
Change is in the air.
