Being a good neighbor is not about expecting something in return every time you share. It’s about helping others as an inherent good in an interdependent world. The Global Europe channel of the next EU budget needs to reflect this reality and choose solidarity over self-interest.

Gender equality must be at the centre of EU external action. As the EU prepares its next Gender Action Plan (GAP IV), the stakes are high. Across the world, women and girls are facing rising inequality, shrinking civic space, and increasing climate and economic pressures.

The EP voted for a bigger Global Europe — EUR 225bn. This is the right signal on scale, given rising development needs, deepening fragilities, and the climate challenge. Now the question is what the money is actually for.

Rich countries are leaving the Global South behind. Last year, #aid to the #GlobalSouth fell by more than 23%, putting millions of lives at risk. At the same time, they spent more than 9x on defence NATO than #ODA. Dive into the data 👉 www.eurodad.org/2025_aid_dat... 🧵

2025: An Economy of War driving budget decisions

There is a bar chart showing total ODA and EU DAC ODA from 2020-2025. The bars increase from 2020-2023, and then decrease in 2024 and drop suddenly in 2025.

New OECD data shows ODA to the global south fell by 23.1% in 2025 - the largest drop on record. This is putting millions of lives at risk.

In 2025, the 33 EU Member States in the OECD DAC delivered US$86.5 billion in ODA.

This represents a collective 9.8% cut compared to 202 & just 0.42% of their collective GNI.

Rich countries are failing on their ODA commitments.
* Only 4 of 24 DAC members met the 0.7% GNI Commitment - Denmark, Luxembourg, Sweden and Norway.
* Just 3 EU Countries met their commitment in 2025.
Meanwhile...

31 NATO members met or exceeded their commitment to allocate 2% of GNI to defence in 2025, including all EU member states*
* Without a standing army, Iceland is exempt from the 2% target.

There is a bar graph showing the progression of NATO spending versus ODA. The NATO graph dwarfs ODA, by the billions.

In 2025, NATO spending was more than 9 times than aid. For EU countries it was nearly 6 times larger

International development cooperation is at a critical juncture. Preliminary data released in April revealed the largest cuts to ODA in modern times, and even deeper cuts have been announced. But these trends are not inevitable.

As the OECD prepares to set the narrative, civil society must offer an alternate vision for the future of aid.
