Today, we also know that international funds allocated to fighting global hunger will be reduced by 44% in the coming years. Funding for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition will drop by 49%! #N4G

Time to challenge our assumptions on #malnutrition. It is not a marginal issue but the leading cause of infant mortality worldwide. Almost HALF of all deaths among children under 5 years old is related to malnutrition. #N4G

Interesting discussion on the future of the #humanitarian system at #HNPW today. Just wish we addressed the politicisation of #aid more openly and not as a marginal issue. Hard to see aid reform moving forward unless we recognise that often donor governments do not give based on needs.

Insightful analysis of the 1st draft of the #ffd4 outcome document by @bodoellmers.bsky.social. Encouraging to see it call for a reverse in #aid budget cuts given the recent trends in the US and Europe.

“The world must finally decide if the values it claims to uphold apply to all of humanity or only a chosen few”. These are the words of Dr. Denis Mukwege speaking up for the people of Congo. Too many atrocities have been committed with no reaction.

Brilliant report on M23 in Eastern Congo from Jamal Osman of @channel4news.bsky.social. Challenges much of the received wisdom about the conflict www.channel4.com/news/drc-war...

A rare opportunity to rethink financing for development in its entirety -- only happens once every ten years. Let's make this year count.
