UK Development Assistance

The FCO, through its Overseas Territories Programme Fund (OTPF), supports projects that contribute to the maintenance of stability and security as well as the promotion of accountable government. The main focus of OTPF expenditure in the British Virgin Islands is devoted to enhancing the capabilities of the Law Enforcement Agencies, including the prison service and the police.

The British Virgin Islands benefits from DFID-funded regional OT projects and emergency aid in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.
