Déscription
The Department for International Development (DFID) is the part of the UK Government that manages Britain’s aid to poor countries. DFID supports long-term programmes to help tackle the underlying causes of poverty, but also responds to emergencies, both natural and man-made. DFID works in partnership with governments, civil society, the private sector, multilateral institutions, United Nations agencies, and the European Commission. DFID works directly in over 150 countries worldwide.
Projets
1. Restoring Livelihoods in Nigeria’s Wetlands: Farmers in northern Nigeria are growing crops once again thanks to a DFID-funded project that improved water management in the Hadejia-Nguru Wetlands region.
2. Working Towards a Sustainable Future for Bangladesh’s Prawn Industry: This fisheries project has helped smallholders to introduce and develop sustainable and socially equitable prawn farming.
3. Weeds - Income for the Poor: The Government of India is promoting programmes to eradicate Prosopis juliflora, an aggressive weed invading irrigation channels and arable land. However, for many poor families the weed provides their only source of income when sold for fuel or dry season fodder. Research is showing that P. juliflora can in fact be managed and used to be productive, profitable and sustainable. The Henry Doubleday Research Association is providing assistance with policy recommendations, briefing papers for different target audiences, and a technical manual (in Hindi) for a series of training courses.
