<p>DFID programmes in conflict-affected states are having a real impact on the lives of the poor. For example:</p><p>In Afghanistan in 2010-11, DFID contributed to 4.7 million children attending primary school and reached 1.4 million people with emergency food assistance.</p><p>In the Democratic Republic of Congo DFID reached 153,000 young children and pregnant women through nutrition programmes.</p><p>In Nepal DFID supported the creation of 45,000 jobs and lifted 76,000 people out of poverty through our forestry work.</p><p>In Nigeria DFID supported 40 million people to vote in elections.</p><p>Results in all UK development programmes, including fragile and conflict-affected countries, are driven by country context. For all DFID pages we measure the impact programmes have on reducing conflict, as well as the achievement of development results in specific sectors. The UK has also endorsed the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States (Busan, November 2011) and is committed to implementing its guidance on working more effectively in fragile and conflict-affected countries.</p> |
