DFID is committed to the internationally agreed target of halving the proportion of people living in extreme poverty by 2015. DFID works in partnership with governments, international and national non-governmental organisations, the private sector and institutions such as the World Bank, UN agencies and the European Commission. Most of the assistance is concentrated on the poorest countries in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, but we also work elsewhere, including Latin America and in Central and Eastern Europe. DFID is committed to a policy of equal opportunities and encourages applications from all parts of the community. We would particularly welcome applications from, women, people from an ethnic minority background and people with a disability.
Selection is on merit.
