DFID’s investment in the PIDG has supported 35 projects, including in energy, agricultural infrastructure, industrial infrastructure, transport, ports and roads. These projects have created nearly 200,000 jobs and driven £6.8 billion of private investment into some of the world’s poorest countries. In 2013 alone, eight PIDG projects started operations, bringing new or improved services to 8.6 million people.
