insiste sur l'impact concret de l’#APD sur leurs terrains d’intervention : santé mondiale, accès à l'éducation, nutrition, protection des enfants. Une aide vitale pour des millions de personnes qui est aujourd’hui en péril !

What’s driving the EU’s #GlobalGateway - development goals or geopolitical interests❓🤔

Our new report with @Counter_Balance and @oxfamEU uncovers many answers.

A 🧵 with key findings ⤵️

[Vince Chadwick @vchadw]

The @EU_Commission is actually planning to give an average of *26% less* foreign aid to countries in Africa each year in 2025-2027, compared to 2021-2024.

Happy European Day of Languages! Celebrate with us by learning a bit of Irish:

[Gilbert F. Houngbo @GilbertFHoungbo]

No society can navigate the #ClimateCrisis, or enjoy the benefits of a greener future, without prioritizing #SocialProtection.

This means building social protection systems that are universal, comprehensive, sustainable and grounded in rights.

It's essential for all the #SDGs.

[Celia Cranfield @CelsCran]

The EU probably didn't intend this. That is no consolation for those communities losing livelihoods. If the EU applied policy coherence for sustainable development it could better predict the negative impacts of its policies and rebuild partner countries' trust. #SDGs

Fairtrade International is deeply concerned that many small-scale cocoa and coffee producer organisations will be cut off from trade with the European Union market because of the EU Deforestation Regulation that will start to apply on 30 December 2024.

Avant la guerre, les Gazaouis avaient accès à 80 litres d’eau/jour et par personne, déjà loin des recommandations de l’ONU. Aujourd’hui, c'est 4,74 litres! On assiste à une catastrophe sanitaire et humanitaire inégalée depuis 9 mois. Agnès Bertrand-Sanz faisait le point sur LN24.

In 2023, #aid reached an all-time high, but #ODA from EU Member States fell, & large amounts never reached the #GlobalSouth.
❓What does the latest @OECDdev data mean for the future of aid?

🔴 Alarmed by the leaked @EU_Partnerships draft brief on international cooperation.
More business and less focus on human rights in the Global South won't help partner countries or Europe become better places to live.

🚨 CSOs sound the alarm: The Defence of Democracy Directive on foreign interference fails to address fundamental rights issues.

📄 With other organisations, The Good Lobby contributed to the briefing paper to raise concerns about the role of CSOs in the Directive.

[Oxfam EU @OxfamEU]

🚨 Today's @POLITICOEurope leak on @EU_Partnerships guidance for the next EU's external policy is alarming.

‼️ It suggests that the EU's foreign policy should sideline development and focus on economic interests.

❌ This is at odds with 🇪🇺 Treaties!

Watch this📽️ to learn more about Brigid!

@vchadw Asking follow-up questions like in some other parliaments would make sure that MEPs can actually insist on getting answers.
