City of London Corporation / DfID

The City of London provides local government services for the financial and commercial heart of Britain, the 'Square Mile'. It is committed to maintaining and enhancing the status of the business City as the world's leading international financial and business centre through the policies it pursues and the high standard of services it provides. There is increasing interest on behalf of the City in investing in Africa, and of Africa in seeking both investment and best practice learning from the Citys expertise and experience. The City of London Corporation has therefore engaged more deeply with African nations and facilitated lines of communication between Africa and the City.
