The UK Government support developing country governments to ensure that increased investment and growth is included appropriately in their overall poverty reduction strategies (PRSs). This is a key component of the new public service agreement (PSA) 29 on poverty reduction. Our involvement and support will be both through our bilateral programme and through our influence on other development agencies.
There are a range of sectors which can bring high benefits for the poor-for example, agriculture. DFID's policy paper ‘Growth and poverty reduction: the role of agriculture’ sets out the various ways in which DFID is supporting inclusive and equitable development strategies. This is available at:
