As a newly independent international actor, the UK entered 2021 with a unique opportunity to redefine our position as a leader on the world stage. The Whitehall & Industry Group was delighted to host Moazzam Malik, Director General for Africa, to share insights into the priorities for his team at the recently formed FCDO, as they work to reduce poverty and tackle global challenges with international partners. He was joined by a panel of senior stakeholders across the sectors, to discuss the wider role of the UK in the complex sphere of international development.
