In one country American aid is the equivalent of almost 350% of government health spending. These are the places most vulnerable to Donald Trump’s cuts econ.st/41NbFqM

Angers me to write this letter again. Following previous cuts, @CIFFchild managed to plug some gaps with peers, but hole created by #UK & #US #aid #cuts is enormous. Countries need more time to plan aid exit. #Debt #crisis makes this nigh impossible. People suffer greatly.

I had to sign this letter to the UK PM on the aid cuts. National Security is a public good: people rightly expect the state to provide it. How to fund it is a key public finance decision. Sensible public financial management is all about trade-offs. This was the wrong one.

Our letter to the Prime Minister expressing deep concern regarding his decision to cut ODA. Cutting ODA to raise defence spending is a false economy. The aid budget is an important instrument for long-term stability and economic partnership. We hope the government will reconsider

IDA is the most critical source of climate and development finance for the world’s poorest and most climate-vulnerable countries. With many countries facing spiralling debt costs, its combination of grants and highly concessional financing is more needed than ever. #IDA21

Saw Nick Cave in Paris recently at the Accor Arena and I was really struck by that song Joy where he sings “We’ve all had too much sorrow, now it the time for joy.” I was thinking to myself, yeah that’s about right.
