DFID’s relationship with South Africa has now transitioned to a development partnership model built around mutually agreed priorities. This engagement is led by the Development Partnerships Unit based in the British High Commission, Pretoria. It is supported by a partnerships programme which works with South African institutions to strengthen their development role in Africa, in areas including tax capacity building, tackling climate change and service delivery monitoring. The programme also works with the South African government to support its role as an African representative in global institutions such as the G20, to help develop international agreements which better address the needs of the poor in Africa.
