<p>The UK welcomes, and is committed to championing, the Global Goals. Through our
commitment to global development, and by honouring our 0.7% aid commitments, we will
play a key role in helping countries to achieve these goals – especially on eradicating
extreme poverty, hunger and disease. The UK has played a key role in creating a set
of goals that are universal and inclusive, and underpinned by a commitment to leave
no one behind.</p><br /><p>Given the focus of DFID’s work and interventions on those
living in extreme poverty, DFID programmes contribute to reducing within country inequality.
The new UK Aid strategy commits the government to being a world leader in implementing
the Leave No One Behind Promise agreed by the Prime Minister and other world leaders
in September 2015. To deliver the new strategy, the government will focus on the most
vulnerable and disadvantaged, the most excluded, those caught in crises, and those
most at risk of violence and discrimination.</p>
