<p>The Prime Minister has appointed a fully joint junior ministerial team for DFID
and the FCO. This builds on the good work DFID is already delivering with the FCO:
in 32 bilateral posts, 16 multilateral missions and through the eight FCO-DFID Joint
Units in London. The Prime Minister also appointed separate Secretaries of State for
the Foreign Office and DFID in the recent reshuffle and is keen to make sure UK aid
is both spent well and aligned with the UK’s foreign policy priorities.</p><p>The
Government Manifesto maintains spending 0.7% of GNI on ODA and pledges to end the
preventable deaths of mothers, new-born babies and children by 2030 and lead the way
in eradicating Ebola and malaria. We will continue to need the support of our partner
charities to deliver on these commitments.</p><p> </p>
