It aims to tackle global challenges including poverty and disease, mass migration, insecurity and conflict.

Its mission is to build a safer, healthier, more prosperous world for people in developing countries and in the UK.

DFID merged with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office ('the Foreign Office') in September 2020 to create the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
