* Promotes trading opportunities
* To reduce poverty and promote human development
Infrastructure, trade and economic growth (Aid Priority)
Improving infrastructure allows for greater trading opportunities which promotes economic
growth and therefore increases employment opportunities and reduces poverty.
Agriculture, fisheries and water (Aid Priority)
The agriculture and fisheries industries are vital sources of jobs, income and exports, particularly
for those living in low and middle income countries.
Effective Governance (policies, institutions and functioning economies) (Aid Priority)
Effective governance is vital for a country’s future prosperity; where governance is poor,
development outcomes are also poor, particularly in conflict-affected areas.
Education and Health (Aid Priority)
A quality education is vital in breaking the cycle of poverty. Education helps individuals,
families, communities and nations to achieve their aspirations and realise their full potential.
Building Resilience (humanitarian assistance, disaster risk reduction and social protection)
(Aid Priority)
When humanitarian crises hit, low and middle income countries are disproportionately
impacted. Human development improvements are quickly reversed and poverty rates increase
once again.

Achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls are vital in order for the world to
make any significant improvements in economic growth, poverty reduction, human
development and peace and security.
