<p>DFID works to reduce inequality by working to end extreme poverty and through sustainable
and inclusive growth, ensuring that poor and marginalised people have access to opportunities
and services, such as education. Between 2015 and 2018, DFID has supported 3 million
people to raise their incomes or gain a better livelihood. We have also supported
11.4 million children, including 40,000 girls with disabilities, to gain a decent
education through our Support to the Global partnership for Education and the Girl
Education Challenge. We have also reached 42.1 million children under 5, women of
childbearing age and adolescent girls through our nutrition-relevant programmes.</p><p>
</p><p>In July 2018, the UK Government, in partnership with the Government of Kenya
and the International Disability Alliance, hosted the UK government’s first-ever Global
Disability Summit. The Summit raised global attention on a long-neglected issue, mobilised
over 170 sets of new global and national commitments on disability and showcased good
practice, innovation and evidence from around the world.</p><p> </p>
