Improving the flow of cleaner water in DR Congo
In 2000, Oxfam, funded by DFID, constructed 37 water pumps in the neighbourhood, which is one of the most disadvantaged areas of the city. And between May 2006 and April 2007, DFID has supported Oxfam with almost £1 million to carry out similar water projects in North and South Kivu in eastern DRC.

Making development a truly team game in Rwanda
Aid effectiveness matters hugely for Rwanda as about one-half of the government budget is financed by Official Development Assistance (ODA) from the international community. But for Rwanda’s Ministry of Finance (MoF) improving aid effectiveness requires a number of stakeholders to play ball – line ministries, local governments, a score of international donors present in-country, vertical global funds and civil society.

How Tanzanian coffee farmers pushed for a better deal
Almost all of Tanzania's coffee is grown by 400,000 poor smallholder farmers, each owning less than five acres of land. Traditionally, these farmers have suffered through lack of access to international markets, meaning that their coffee was sold only through local markets into low-value added blended coffee manufacturing. DFID is part of a group of donors who helped Kilicafe to work with 8,000 smallholder coffee farmers in northern Tanzania to help them increase the value of their coffee and to gain access to international coffee markets.

Peer education for Kinshasa's sex workers
In a country so devastated by war and misrule, where many young people have no hope of employment and resort to desperate solutions to their problems, an AIDS epidemic here is a serious risk. This is why DFID is funding the country’s largest programme of HIV awareness, educating high-risk groups such as sex workers about the risks of unprotected sex and the importance of always using a condom.

Peer education drives HIV/AIDS awareness for truckersTruck drivers in DRC are always on the move, meeting new people and being away from their families - so they are at especially high risk of catching and spreading HIV. That's why they have been picked as a target group by PSI, the international NGO which campaigns against HIV and malaria in Congo, with DFID funding.

The stigma of rape in eastern DR Congo
With DFID support, Panzi Hospital is building a specialised wing to treat fistula – a debilitating genital injury that can be caused by prolonged or obstructed labour, or by rape. It can leave women in terrible pain and incontinent. And sufferers are often stigmatised by their communities.

The race to improve the quality of primary education in Malawi
Much progress has been made on improving education in Malawi. Enrolment rates have increased by about 60% since the introduction of free primary school education in 1994. Young people's literacy has risen from 63% to 71%. We now need to focus on raising the quality of education at all levels. Why? Because class sizes of over 100 are normal, not enough children finish primary school and there are not enough girls attending secondary and tertiary education.

Snapshots of Success: Ghana’s Integrated Child Health Campaign
In Ghana some 80,000 children under the age of five die every year most of them from preventable or treatable diseases. Malaria leads the way as the biggest single cause of childhood deaths in Ghana, accounting for about 25 per cent of all deaths among children under the age of five. Sleeping under a bed net can reduce child deaths by as much as much as 20%.
