About GVS - DFID

Through its Country Programmes and headquarters work, and in partnership with others, the UK Department for International Development (DFID) supports country-owned strategies to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (www.developmentgoals.org/About_the_goals.htm) of sustainable development and the eradication of extreme poverty.

Visit www.dfid.gov.uk for more information on DFID’s wide-ranging work.

DFID has a small number of vets working in the organization, either in advisory posts (usually working in headquarters teams or Country Offices, and advising on broader rural development and policy issues), or as contractors on specific projects and programmes in developing countries or within partner organizations.
