 NB. At time of writing, much of the documentation relating to development funding on the FCDO site still refers to DFID.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is a UK government department. Formerly, the Department for International Development (DFID) funded research intended to promote sustainable development and eliminate world poverty; in September 2020, DFID was merged into the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to become the FCDO, which now offers similar funding opportunities.
