The Department for International Development has supported and worked with co-operatives across sectors for many years. We recognise the benefits and opportunities that co-operatives can offer for small scale farmers, for example as a way to collectively negotiate better prices, increase productivity and access financial services. Co-operatives can also aggregate farmer produce to increase their selling power to the market or set up their own processing, trading or financing facilities. DfID programmes promote co-operatives as one way to support farmers to strengthen their links to markets and promote sustainable and inclusive economic development.<\/p>

The UK is at the forefront of efforts to support the Government of Iraq to meet the needs of those affected by the conflict with Daesh in Iraq. For example DFID funds the International Organisation for Migration to support emergency healthcare interventions, a field hospital outside Mosul, ambulance transportation, and Mobile Medical Teams to deliver lifesaving health services. As the largest contributor to the Iraq Humanitarian Pooled Fund, the UK supports several projects to meet the most urgent needs of displaced Iraqis including the provision of healthcare and medication.<\/p>"}

DFID has regular discussions and meetings with officials from the Government of Iraq about future development plans for Iraq after the liberation of Mosul and how the international community can support Iraq in the longer term. In addition to the UK\u2019s ongoing humanitarian and stabilisation assistance funding, DFID is providing a £300 million loan guarantee to support the World Bank\u2019s programme in Iraq that is helping the Government of Iraq cope with the impact of low oil prices and the long term consequences of the conflict with Daesh.<\/p>"}

DFID routinely publishes information on contracts awarded through our central Procurement and Commercial Department (PCD) on the Contracts Finder<\/a> website. All DFID published contracts can be searched and filtered by various factors such as successful suppliers.<\/p>"}
