star this property answer text <p>DFID uses a range of factors to determine allocations to countries, including the need of those countries for development assistance, how effective our assistance is likely to be in those countries, and the strategic fit with UK government priorities.</p><p>The 50% commitment is not only the right thing to do but also the smart thing to do for Britain’s national interest. The commitment ensures that we improve the lives of the poorest and most vulnerable people in the world. Poverty is increasingly concentrated in fragile states and regions, and conflict is one of the major challenges to development. Over half of the world’s poor live in fragile states.</p><p>Our work in fragile states and regions will help to build stability, prevent conflict and support economic growth in the world’s poorest countries and regions.

star this property answer text <p>The UK can be proud of its global leadership on tackling violence against women and girls. In the past five years we have nearly doubled our programming to address this human rights abuse, including over a six-fold increase in our programming to address violence against women and girls in humanitarian contexts. We now have 127 programmes tackling this abuse in its many forms. This includes prevention of, and response to, domestic violence, acid attacks, FGM and child, early and forced marriage.</p><p>For example, we are supporting the UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women, which specialises in providing grants for small women’s and civil society organisations to tackle multiple forms of violence. In 2015 this programme reached over one million people to help end violence against women and girls. You can find further details on DFID’s violence against women and girls programming in the recent Independent Commission for Aid Impact’s review. This assessed DFID’s efforts to eliminate violence against women and girls and gave DFID’s performance a ‘Green’ rating, the highest achievable.</p>
