Sign saying this lab was refurbished by USAID

Some examples of USAID and UK aid project signage I saw over a few days (a lot more that I didn’t snap photos if). To Norway’s credit, they also appear to be funding a lot, especially now. #developmentaid #ghana

ODA (Official development assistance) didn’t just fund programs. It cut deaths.
📉 –23% all-cause mortality
👶 –39% under-5 deaths
🦠 –70% HIV deaths

It’s a policy choice that could cost 22 million lives by 2030.
Future generations will ask why we walked away. #PublicHealth #DevelopmentAid

What happens when rich countries cut global health aid?
New models warn that planned U.S. and European aid reductions could cause up to 22.6 million additional deaths in low- and middle-income countries by 2030.

Over Half The World’s Population Lacked Access To Basic Health Services In 2023 - Health Policy Watch Some 4.6 billion people, or more than half the world’s population, still lacked access to a basic package of essential health services in 2023, a new World

🚨 4.6 BILLION people lacked essential health services in 2023.
🚨 1.6 BILLION were pushed into poverty by health costs.
This isn't just data. It's a global crisis.

For the first time in decades, global child deaths under 5 may rise. Cuts in development aid could cost 12M young lives by 2045. Investment in children isn’t charity—it’s survival. #ChildHealth #PublicHealth #DevelopmentAid

We’re hearing about a whole range of ecological measures. We need to buy eco-friendly cleaning products, insulate our homes, change our boilers and have a Canadian well, buy less plastic, sort our waste, drive eco-friendly cars, limit our speed on the roads, do not fly, limit our water consumption when we shower or flush the toilet, limit your consumption of concrete, have a compost in our garden, limit our consumption of meat, use Aleppo soap and limit our consumption of sun creams, use a solar oven, invest in ecological energy (wind turbines, photovoltaic panels, etc.), buy second-hand. Electricity, oil and food prices are rising under the pretext of ecology. Mining, lithium extraction, nuclear power plant waste, large factories, construction, petroleum, intensive agriculture (soil pollution, exorbitant water consumption) and so on. Multinationals pollute far more than private individuals, and are not subject to any ecological measures to limit their pollution. The world’s richest people, especially via multinationals, are responsible for the world’s biggest ecocides: they destroy forests such as the Amazon rainforest, pollute rivers, destroy the seabed, impose conditions on farmers such that they destroy the land, which is in danger of becoming sterile due to the use of chemicals, and mistreat animals. What’s more, chemicals such as pesticides are causing the extinction of entire animal species. They should be judged internationally, not according to the laws they decide at national level in each country. “The poorest half of the global population accounts for only 3% of carbon emissions associated with private capital ownership, while the top 10% account for 77% of emissions. The wealthiest 1% alone account for 41% of private capital ownership emissions, almost double the amount of the entire bottom 90% combined”. Highlights from the World Inequality Report 2026 (WIR 2026) – World inequality report: https://wir2026.wid.world/insight/executive-summary/ The …

The images are frightening. We see caravans of migrants crossing Central America on their way to the United States. We see boats filled to the brim off the coast of Florida or in the Mediterranean. In border towns, we see hordes of young men on the streets, destitute, jumping the barriers of detention centres, living in squats, sometimes addicted to drugs. European countries and the United States claim to be so overwhelmed that they delegate their borders to Mexico, Turkey and the countries of North Africa. They pay them to process asylum applications before the migrants have set foot in the destination country. The detention centres are inhumane and the migrants jump the barriers to get to their destination. The barrier is very easy to jump. Migrants enter countries illegally because it is inhumane to ask to enter legally. So, they do not stand up for their rights.. Faced with these terrifying images, we hear the Right telling us that these illegals must be punished more severely, and we hear the Left telling us that there are no problems with migrants. These migrants work for a tenth of the price and cannot assert their rights before a judge. The people most affected by migration are the rural and poor. The result of this situation of irregularity is to create an extremely cheap labour force that cannot compete with European or American labour who must respect proper social and environmental conditions. Western countries draw up lists of jobs in labor shortage that the inhabitants of these countries supposedly no longer want to do. Western governments give visas for these jobs, forcing the current inhabitants to accept poor working conditions. It’s shameful, given the GDP of these countries. It is legitimate to feel helpless when faced with these migrants. The fields and the restaurants in the United States and Europe are full of illegal workers and the fields and the restaurants are not controlled. Cleaning and public roads are also affected. There are no more …

Aggression serves no purpose. Insults, lack of restraint, denigration, wanting to punish others, and violence have serious consequences. intransigence has serious consequences on both the left and the right; it is the best way to loose elections. It creates enemies. Improving the world does not mean accusing others. We need more tolerance on both the left and the right. We must live together and stop fighting over every little thing. We must try to understand different points of view. We must support those who seek to unite, not those who seek to divide, those who are against others. We must commit to projects that bring us together. Treating part of the population as deplorable, toothless, attacking a farmer or a driver because they are not green enough, treating people as undeserving or lazy, all of this is disrespectful and only serves to divide people. The victims of these insults are not going to support the projects of those who insulted them. They will lose sight of the big picture because of a detail. JD Vance, the current vice president of the United States, comes from a modest family and was a long-time left-wing activist. He wrote a book called Hillbilly Elegy to defend the forgotten people of the republic. Unfortunately, after being rejected by some people, he was hurt enough to become a fierce opponent of the left. How many people like him have decided they will never vote green again because, for example, farmers are called polluters? How many retired people will no longer vote left because they were called fascists on the pretext that 60% of retired people voted for Sarkozy? How many young people have been called “snowflakes” for minor reasons? How many parents are criticized for their parenting? Insults are too quick to fly. If someone thinks differently, as long as it’s not hateful, it’s not a problem. We mustn’t exclude others because of every difference. In a democracy, everyone has freedom of expression and opinion. We must seek out what unites…

Over the past year, many European countries, including the UK, have reduced their contributions. With the US going so far as to freeze most of theirs. Will this heighten global instability and inequality? #humanitarianaid #developmentaid

At #ECOSOC, Malta backed calls to move beyond GNI as the sole metric for aid allocation, stating: “It’s about who suffers the most, not who earns the least.” A push for more just and vulnerability-focused development frameworks. #MVI #GlobalEquity #SIDS #DevelopmentAid

At #ECOSOC, the U.S. reaffirmed its stance: “Aid, not trade.” Highlighting the need for direct support over market-driven solutions in addressing urgent global development challenges.

IOM Director General Amy Pope cautions that tightening borders and cutting aid may increase instability in migration-source regions. She advocates for investments in these countries and highlights Italy's balanced approach as a potential model.

Failing economies need:
#DevelopmentAid - cut by Labour
End of #ArmsSales - continued by Labour
#ClimateAction - dodged by Labour

Without them desperate migration will continue

Desperate state of so much of the world is partly our fault/our responsibility

[8/8] Loin des discours de repli, Duflo rappelle que le meilleur investissement pour les pays riches est de soutenir les capacités locales. L’aide ne remplace pas l’effort national mais permet aux plus pauvres d’agir et de résister aux chocs globaux. #geography #developmentaid #inequalities

[7/8] En 2024, les pays réunis à Séville cherchent à relancer la solidarité internationale, malgré l’absence des États-Unis. Objectif affiché : consacrer 0,75% du PIB à l’aide extérieure, un chiffre modeste comparé aux 3,5% promis pour la défense par l’OTAN. #geography #developmentaid #inequalities

[6/8] Cette aide ciblée améliore la gestion des budgets nationaux. En Côte d’Ivoire, l’ensemble du système éducatif a été optimisé à partir d’une expérimentation financée par le Fonds d’innovation pour le développement, présidé par Duflo. #geography #developmentaid #inequalities

[5/8] Exemple concret : la méthode éducative indienne Pratham, adaptée aux élèves en difficulté, s’est diffusée au Maroc (1.200 écoles) et en Côte d’Ivoire. Résultats : progression en lecture et en mathématiques avec peu de moyens. #geography #developmentaid #inequalities

[4/8] L’aide a aussi permis de tester à grande échelle des politiques efficaces contre la pauvreté, grâce à des milliers d’études d’impact. Ces évaluations rigoureuses guident les gouvernements dans leurs décisions et améliorent les dépenses publiques. #geography #developmentaid #inequalities

[3/8] Duflo rappelle que l’aide a permis la création de réseaux scientifiques solides. En Afrique du Sud, la recherche sur les maladies infectieuses a contribué à freiner le VIH et à gérer la pandémie de Covid-19. Ces succès montrent un effet structurant. #geography #developmentaid #inequalities

[2/8] Malgré le recul des financements, l’aide au développement a permis de réduire l’extrême pauvreté mondiale : de 38% de la pop en 1992 à 8,5% en 2022, selon la Banque mondiale. En Afrique, l’espérance de vie est passée de 52 à 63 ans entre 2000 et 2023. #geography #developmentaid #inequalities
