Following Labour’s victory in the general election, our CEO Romilly Greenhill welcomes the new government, and offers a list of priorities for their first days in office to help the UK get back on track with development and humanitarian issues. bit.ly/45WNyYn #GE24

On the contrary - Labour made planning reform and building on the green belt central to their election offer, and have won the biggest majority in their 124 year history. The bigger political risk is failing to fulfil their mandate to solve our national housing problem.

It is important that the new government is clear-eyed about the challenges it faces in rebuilding the UK’s ODA ambitions and reputation. Our Director of Policy, Advocacy and Research gideon rabinowitz takes us through the best place to start: bit.ly/4bAG66r

"We’re encouraged by FCDO’s improved rating on the Aid Transparency Index," says Romilly Greenhill in reaction to the 2024 #AidTransparency Index released today. Full reaction below 👇 1/5

Ever stricter anti-protest laws, longer sentences for protesters blocked from mentioning their motives in court, tone-policing of charity campaigners, vetting and banning of experts from government events. Read our new report on civic space: bit.ly/3YhzcQy

As we launch our civic space review today, Rowan Popplewell identifies the key trends restricting UK civic space in this article for Byline Times and discusses what the new Labour government can do to halt this erosion.

And we’re underway. In the beautiful city of Brighton for the International Development day of Lib Dem conference, organised by the wonderful Lib Dems in International Development. First session is on the need for UK leadership on global health.

This is an important development! But the Development Minister Anneliese Dodds is conspicuous in her absence. Development SOSs attended, as did Andrew Mitchell under Rishi Sunak, bringing additional expertise and perspective Robert Peston Peter Ricketts Joe Devanny

Which country uses the most aid to host a refugee? Not surprisingly, it's the UK. But what is surprising is how much of an outlier it is: 150% more than its nearest G7 peer. Our new Center for Global Development analysis w/ Sam Hughes cgdev.org/blog/costs-hos…

Important new analysis from Center for Global Development. UK diverts way more of its international aid budget to pay for refugee costs at home than any other country. UK reports four times more per refugee than France or Germany. Why? The new govt inherited this problem. It's vital they fix it.

Important analysis Center for Global Development Ian Mitchell Sam Hughes this is the wrong type of global leadership from the UK...the new Government must reform the discredited system it has inherited for reporting spending on refugees as ODA, whilst providing the required support for these people

Help, my twitter has been flooded by pro trump stuff, wonder why 🤨 (not)

With #COP29 deep into overtime, CAN-UK and CAN-Rac Canada call on UK and Canada to publicly speak up on the importance of developed countries obligations to provide climate finance under the Paris Agreement, and to ensure the COP29 outcome reflects this. climateactionnetwork.ca/as-cop29-goes-…

Our response to the PM’s announcement on cutting INT'L aid: 'Marginalised communities are facing a dramatic poverty crisis. These cuts—a political decision echoing Trump’s race to the bottom on aid—are a betrayal that will erode trust & fan the flames of global insecurity.'

New minister Jenny Chapman says: • New FCDO approvals are frozen • No assurance existing commitments will be honoured • No guarantee to keep aid at 0.5% GNI through 2026 • No sign yet of a way to cut aid by 40% without serious damage. Rethink. #stopthecuts #cutsthatkill

This is what a race to the bottom looks like. First the US slashes aid, then the UK follows with a 40% cut. Now a senior German leader has used Keir Starmer's decision as reason to cut German aid. Labour's aid cuts are inspiring others to slash their budgets. #StopTheCuts
