Department for International Development

The Department for International Development (DfID) is a United Kingdom government department responsible for administering overseas aid. The goal of the department is "to promote sustainable development and eliminate world poverty". The Secretary of State for International Development is Justine Greening. In a 2010 report by the Development Assistance Committee (DAC), DfID was described as "an international development leader in times of global crisis". The UK aid logo is often used to publicly acknowledge DfID's development programmes are funded by UK taxpayers.
