	Department for International Development - Ministerial Statement by Sally Keeble (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Ministerial Statement by Hilary Benn MP DFID’s aim is to contribute to the elimination of poverty in poorer countries, in particular through achievement by 2015 of the Millennium Development Goals.
		We recognise that the effectiveness and impact of international research for poverty reduction depends on other elements in wider ‘knowledge systems’ which are often weak or under funded in developing countries.
		DFID plans to re-balance the allocation of its research resources between broad subject areas, with greater emphasis on larger, more strategic, longer-term research initiatives, focused around priority problems rather than on ‘sectors’.
