Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (South Africa)

From 2015 the UK’s development role with South Africa will be concentrated in 2 main areas:

• we will provide technical assistance programmes focused on sharing skills and expertise to reduce poverty and tackle inequality
• we will build a regional and global development partnership beyond South Africa’s borders

Through this partnership the UK and South Africa will work together to reduce poverty and drive economic growth by supporting South Africa’s growing role as a provider of development cooperation in its own right, as well as its position as the region’s major trading hub.
