Through our network of overseas offices, we work in partnership with both government and civil society to advance debate, knowledge and skills in the areas of governance, human rights and social inclusion.

Our aim is to enhance the reputation of the UK as a valued partner in tackling key reform agendas and promoting a sustainable development. We promote initiatives that combine inclusiveness and accountability with a strong and vibrant economy. Our work contributes to the UK Government's foreign policy objectives of spreading the value of human rights, civil liberties, democracy and the rule of law.
