Investment Promotion Programme
Cross-Government Prosperity Fund
Funded through the cross-government Prosperity Fund, the Investment Promotion Programme (IPP) is the Department for International Trade’s first Official Development Assistance (ODA) funded programme. IPP will support key developing countries to attract foreign direct investment, which will build stable economies and reduce their reliance on aid. Targeted interventions will lead to an improvement in the quality of services delivered by foreign investment promotion organisations, their promotion campaigns and the investment projects they support. Supporting investment promotion can fast-track economic transformation, helping to pave the way towards prosperity. Increasing the attractiveness and capability of developing countries for foreign direct investment (FDI) can help create jobs, and boost skills and productivity in the local economy of the focal countries.

The programme is in alignment with DFID’s Economic Development Strategy (2017) and new Education Policy (2018), as well as with the UK’s commitment, included in the UK Aid Strategy, to continue to prioritise the needs of girls and women.

HM Treasury
UK contribution to support to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the international standard setter for tackling money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing, to increase the number of staff within its Global Network Coordination Group (GNCG). This enables GNCG to considerably increase its engagement with, and improve the quality of country assessments conducted by, the FATF-style regional bodies (FSRBs), and improve understanding of the FATF Standards among FSRB member countries. More robust, timely assessments and improved understanding of international AML/CTF/CPF standards drives more effective, more timely corrective measures around the world, leading to reduced opportunities for and improved law enforcement responses to financial crime. This additional engagement also enables and improves the effectiveness of other development interventions from other capacity building providers, including the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and others, as the regional institutional frameworks will be strengthened and knowledge of the FATF Standards will be increased.
