We have over 40 years’ experience of providing international development technical expertise. We work with partner organisations that have complementary technical skills to support the UK Government’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) agenda.
This includes strengthening security and stability in fragile and conflict-affected states and working towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The British Council has reaffirmed its support to the United Nations Global Compact and its ten principles in the areas of Human Rights, Labour, Environment and Anti-corruption.
We work for several agencies including the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the European Union, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and national governments. We deliver effective and sustainable solutions that are good value for money.
