DFIDâs 2017 Economic Development Strategy commits to help the most marginalised and vulnerable people through DFIDâs economic development programmes, including people living in extreme poverty, women and girls, and people with disabilities. Programming decisions and design are informed by context-specific analysis of opportunities and constraints for supporting inclusive growth that spreads benefits and opportunities right across society. Under the 2014 Gender Equality Act, DFID considers the impact of development or humanitarian assistance on gender equality. DFIDâs Inclusive Data Charter Action Plan and DFIDâs Disability Inclusion Strategy, both launched in 2018, set out specific steps to make economic development programmes more inclusive.
