<p>DFID is taking major steps to tackle the barriers to economic development. In January
the Secretary of State launched DFID’s Economic Development Strategy which sets out
how the UK is stimulating growth that transforms economies and how we are helping
the poorest countries to attract investment, trade more, and create millions of jobs.
This will help create prosperous economies that lift people out of poverty, help countries
overcome the need for aid, and accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development
Goals whilst also benefiting Britain. The Strategy can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/587374/DFID-Economic-Development-Strategy-2017.pdf"
