Andrew Mitchell was appointed Secretary of State for International Development on 12 May 2010.
As Shadow Secretary of State for International Development from 2005 to 2010, Andrew led his Party’s campaign to tackle global poverty.
Andrew has seen first-hand the impact that deprivation, conflict and oppression have on the lives of ordinary people around the world. Having served as a UN peacekeeper in Cyprus in the 1970s, he went on to work and travel extensively in Africa and Asia, experiences that have stayed with him throughout his time as an MP.
For the last three years Andrew has organised Project Umubano, a social action project where approximately 100 volunteers work on a variety of development projects in Rwanda. A short film about the 2008 project, which 104 people participated in, can be seen here.
