<p>DFID invests in the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) to improve
access to critical infrastructure services for people in the poorest regions of Africa
and Asia – in sectors such as power, communications, transport and water.</p><p>PIDG
has no active investments in any fossil fuel extraction projects. PIDG does not invest
in the exploration, extraction or refining of oil, natural gas or liquid petroleum
gas.</p><p>In 2004, PIDG did provide one-off funding of $500,000 (£273,000) for technical
assistance to the Government of Mozambique on the feasibility of establishing a coal
mine in the town of Moatize in Mozambique. PIDG’s strategy now rules out any investing
in coal.</p>
