One year ago, Canada released its first ever Africa strategy, marking a major milestone in Canada’s relationship with the continent. But has Canada turned words into action?

Our staff and activists were busy on the Hill this #InternationalDevelopmentWeek!

We spoke with MPs about partnerships with Africa, amplified African excellence as co-hosts of the Official BHM After Party, and led a diaspora dialogue on the future of development cooperation.🌍

Sudan is facing one of the world's worst crises. So why aren't more people talking about it?

Tomorrow, ONE is joining Foreign Policy’s Munich Security Conference Emerging Threats Forum for a Q&A session on Sudan.

Last week, like every week, about 4000 young women were newly infected with HIV. Those aren't just numbers. They're real people, neighbours, daughters and mothers, who deserve a healthy life.

On World AIDS Day, we're standing with everyone touched by HIV, and calling on Canada to be a reliable partner for progress.

We're passing along this message from @randeepssarai to highlight that despite the reduction in our Global Fund pledge, Canada is still speaking up.

"Where you live should not determine whether you live."

In honour of World AIDS Day, Parliamentarians joined us with one message: we can end AIDS in our lifetime, if we all work together.

.@MarkJCarney @liberal_party gov plans $2.7 billion in cuts to international assistance!

They've set their sights on highly impactful & effective global health programs. Please urge your MP to push back against these cuts. https://t.co/vnlRzaXIfa

Thoughts on #Budget2025

Here are the top 3 take-aways:
1. $2.7B cut to foreign aid
2. Investments in global health are being targeted for cuts
3. The budget talks about trade diversification but does not mention: Africa.

Canada has invested billions to tackle AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. If we retreat now millions of lives are at risk. That's why I added my name to @ONE_in_Canada's call for Canada to make a strong pledge to the @GlobalFund. https://t.co/TBAqMHRYBS
