  • Ensuring that any actions undertaken are mutually beneficial to both Wales and the country in Sub-Saharan Africa.
  • Ensuring that sustainable development is at the core of all work undertaken, complementing UK government international sustainable development policy and the work of the major agencies.
  • Reflecting the concerns and connections of the people and communities of Wales in international development.
  • Using public procurement and support to business as a proactive tool for alleviating poverty.
  • Delivering the Millennium Development Goals and aligning with the Post 2015 Development Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals.
