Support actions to achieve the Millennium Development Goals

We will support actions to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. We will recognise the vital role of women in development, promote gender equality and focus on the rights of women, children and disabled people to access services.


In particular, we will prioritise aid spending on programmes to ensure that everyone has access to clean water, sanitation, healthcare and education; to reduce maternal and infant mortality; and to restrict the spread of major diseases like HIV/ AIDS, TB and malaria.
