The Coalition for Global Prosperity brings together political, military,
business and faith leaders who believe that an effective development budget,
alongside an active diplomatic and defence strategy, keeps Britain at the
forefront of saving lives, alleviating poverty and bringing freedom, security
and prosperity to those who need it most. British leadership in development is
not just about our values, and doing what is right, it is also about making the
world a better place for all of us. UK Aid makes the world safer, because it
stops epidemics like Ebola and Zika from spreading and helps resolve conflict
and build democracies. It makes the world healthier, because it develops new
tools to prevent and treat diseases such as malaria, and invests in projects to
provide essential services such as clean water to poor families. And it helps
make people across the world better off, by giving people in poorer countries
the skills and resources they need to stand on their own two feet - spreading
economic opportunity and producing trading partners for Britain in the future.
The Coalition brings together a wide coalition of aid supporters, with
backgrounds from across the military, faith, business and political communities.
We organise public and private events to explore the UK's role as a global
leader.
