UKAN

The UK Aid Network (UKAN) is a coalition of UK-based development NGOs working together to advocate for more and better aid.

It’s difficult to watch the reports from @OrlaGuerin without feeling a sense of outrage at the inadequacy of the U.K. and US response. At what point does silence become complicity?

[International Development Committee @CommonsIDC]

Our Chair, @StephenTwigg, asked @DFID_UK Secretary of State @PennyMordaunt whether non-DFID ODA contributes to poverty reduction. Here’s her reply

[Amy Dodd @amydodd80]

Finished my last day @UKAidNetwork - sad to be leaving, even sadder that UKAN is closing but proud of what we’ve achieved and the work we’ve done. And excited to be starting @devinitorg next week!

[International Development Committee @CommonsIDC]

This morning at 10.00am we are taking evidence on the definition of #UKODA with @GovAnguillaUK @UKAidNetwork @devinitorg & @OECD_Centre. Watch live here: https://t.co/w8l7q9KeUj #UKaid

[Amy Dodd @amydodd80]

@KateOsamor talking about the ‘how’ of #UKaid and development - power to and standing with people, development rooted in communities and real local #ownership, doing transition and graduation better. So in short, be more effective... #WorldForTheMany

[Amy Dodd @amydodd80]

We need to stop tinkering and tackle structural causes of poverty and inequality @KateOsamor #WorldForTheMany. Not do we need #aid and development but how do we do it and do it better #effectivecooperation

[Jessica Toale MP @JessicaToale]

Next week the @CommonsIDC examines the definition of overseas development assistance. Evidence from @UKAidNetwork @devinitorg & @OECD_Centre https://t.co/VuJph0mEyv

[Preet Kaur Gill MP @PreetKGillMP]

Great meeting with Amy Dodd Director of @UKAidNetwork discussing work they do within the sector - look forward to working together.

Over-simplifying complexity?
Politely put, but hard-hitting, + constructive @icai_uk report on @DFID_UK approach to value for money. https://t.co/ifgyxKX4Xc @Alison_ICAI

Today is international #OpenDataDay! What better way to celebrate than with #DataStories – our new #opendata storytelling platform with interactive data dashboards that tell the whole story https://t.co/esHAcy3oFV @DFID_UK @ODIdev @bondngo

[Amy Dodd @amydodd80]

Couldn’t agree more. Appalling staff used their position to exploit & abuse- particularly while supposedly working to support & protect vulnerable women- yet moral imperative for aid remains. ‘The Oxfam sex story is horrific. So is the war on foreign aid.’ https://t.co/7sRT54lReb

[Tamsyn Barton @TBartonUK]

It's very important that we find out what actually happened in this case and in others so we can as a sector learn the lessons and take the right steps to ensure that vulnerable people are effectively protected https://t.co/W8gQClP3So

[ICAI @icai_uk]

One billion people live with a disability worldwide - 80% live in developing countries – We are conducting a #UKaid review of @DFID_UK’s approach to #disability. Read our full approach paper here: https://t.co/aPsQIBGYd9

[Tina Fahm @tinafahm]

Looking forward to discussing ICAI's important review of #UKaid's approach to #inclusivegrowth with @CommonsIDC this morning - follow @icai_uk for tweets from the hearing

[ICAI @icai_uk]

Our submission to @CommonsIDC's #ODA inquiry is now online.

Find independent facts on:
1) recent discussions about changing the definition of aid
2) challenges and issues about the expansion of non-DFID ODA

Tackling global health threats is an area of significant #UKaid leadership but focus on disease must come with investment in capability of health systems to respond long term @DFID_UK @DHSCgovuk @icai_uk #globalhealth https://t.co/1ISdE8gbLk

[Jesse Griffiths @JesseLGriffiths]

Dangerous fudge at OECD DAC opens door to more (possibly a lot more) 'tied aid' - use of #ODA (aid) to subsidise donor companies. Tighter rules needed for #PSIs! My new op ed - thanks for sharing!
