answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2020 answer text <p>The UK is a global champion for aid spending and humanitarian relief. As the Independent Commission for Aid Impact report highlights, this Government is building mutually beneficial partnerships that go wider than aid, towards the trade and business relationships that can deliver quality investment, drive growth and create the jobs that developing countries need to lift millions out of poverty. The aim is to build self-sustaining economies that can generate their own financing through increased tax revenue and private investment.</p><p> </p><p>This approach to international development is a key example of how the government is bringing together all our capabilities to end extreme poverty. To support this, DFID is working with other government departments to ensure all Official Development Assistance meets the requirements of the International Development Act and the Government’s transparency commitment.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 18/02/2020 17:42:33 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
