🚨 Alors que @EmmanuelMacron promettait de préserver le Fonds de solidarité pour le développement (FSD) en juin dernier, celui-ci vient d'être supprimé par le gouvernement, au bénéfice d'une subvention.
@jnbarrot @antoine_armand n'abandonnez pas ce mécanisme si crucial ! (1/2)
#ForOurFuture Victoire ! @EmmanuelMacron vient d'annoncer la préservation du Fonds de solidarité pour le développement - le mécanisme qui permet d'allouer directement une partie des recettes de la #TTF à la solidarité internationale, menacé depuis quelques mois ! (1/2)

France is about to release its 2025 budget, which will include a terrible surprise change: the 2 solidarity taxes (on ✈️ & 💸transactions) won't be 'solidaire' any longer! After 2 decades of leadership on innovative development & climate funding, France doing a total u turn?

Why we are *really all in it together… and what we can do about it #MakesTotalSense #IDA globalgoals.org/makestotalse…
Prices are rising - an 800g loaf is up 30p in the UK! But is there a solution to the Cost of Living Crisis? YES! International investment in farming, health, and more can create stability & protect us from future price hikes. Watch Max Klymenko hit the streets to learn more. #MakesTotalSense
Great round up and analysis of what happened - or maybe more what didn’t happen - at this year’s #G7 👇
Another #G7 Summit close the curtains
Final communiqué👉 g7italy.it/wp-content/upload…
Despite great diplomatic efforts by Italy to bring most G20 leaders around the table and a promising menu, we are left with a rather empty stomach on #climate and #finance. A missed opportunity 🧵

African countries are key borrowers from multilateral development banks. Can we ensure they have a say in reform?

When I hear men worshipping guns and talking about how there’s nothing that will stop them from defending their family, my mind goes to Naaman in the Bible. Do you remember Naaman? He was a great military leader, and he also had leprosy.

Now in Dubai at #COP28 with @GlblCtznImpact ! Follow me here for what will be 2 very long and decisive weeks... A few thoughts on top! 🧵
Must read for everyone interested in #climatefinance. Particularly as many countries prepare to celebrate (read pat themselves on the back) at #COP28 and to start critical negotiations on a post-2025 climate finance target. Targets w/out decent data aren’t going to mean much 👎

The Cameron return puts the foreign, commonwealth and development office in the hands of a pairing that gave the conservatives a serious development presence for the first time
You could disagree about approach, but Cameron and Mitchell really cared about it. It is showing again

I've been at #AnnualMeetings for the last week and a lot has happened - but maybe not as much as we need. Here's my top 10 on reflections on this week and what that means for the next 6 months and beyond.
1. The @WorldBank has a new President and you can tell...
To quote @WorldBank President Ajay Banga and many others, development delayed is development denied.
And check out updates from my colleagues @Sara_Harcourt and @David_McNair for some interesting and incisive takes on this week. You can also sign up to @ONEAftershocks for a regular weekly update on the state of the world, economy and all the news.
