DFID's Programme in China
The UK's Department for International Development concentrates its assistance
on education, health and sustainable livelihoods of poor people. We provide
support to Government efforts on basic education; on combating HIV and AIDS and
tuberculosis; on providing sustainable water supplies; and on economic and
social issues, particularly budgetary and fiscal reform. We work with others:
primarily the World Bank and the UN system.
