<p>The Prime Minister has consistently said that there is a Golden Thread of conditions
that enables open economies and open societies to thrive: the rule of law, the absence
of conflict, the absence of corruption, the presence of strong property rights and
institutions. In fragile and conflict-affected states, DFID funds programmes on peace,
governance and growth, working on issues such as preventing conflict, fighting corruption,
improving the enabling environment for businesses, reducing barriers to trade, and
giving women more voice in political processes. DFID is also working closely with
other UK Government departments to ensure a whole of government approach to international
peace and security. By January 2015, DFID’s programmes globally supported millions
of women and men to vote in thirteen countries; supported 81 million people to have
choice and control over their own development and to hold decision-makers to account;
improved access to security and justice for 10 million women and girls; and helped
5.5 million people secure their land and property rights.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
