New focus on business growth in UK’s fight against world poverty

Britain will increase the amount of support it provides businesses in Africa and other poor countries in a bid to boost economic growth and break their dependence on aid, International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell has announced.

The three new business projects will focus on agriculture and retail industries, alongside broader business support and development.
