#FfD4 is a crucial moment that can shape the lives of billions worldwide. But European governments are blocking critical text in the outcome document that would help create a more just global economic system. Read our OpEd in @politico.eu on what's at stake 👉 www.politico.eu/sponsored-co...

Hurray! This is very good news. Finally a sign of support from our side of the world to get a #UNDebtConvention on the #FfD4 table, which has the potential to free up fiscal space for social spending.

🚨 4.5 billion people lack basic healthcare, and governments struggle to fund public health systems. Supporting fair global #taxrules and #debtresolution at the #WHA78 is key to increasing domestic resources for essential services, including health. buff.ly/8wQxhEl @csem4uhc.bsky.social #HealthForAll

We're at an unprecedented moment in the history of int'l development cooperation. #Aid budgets are being cut & real people are suffering. ⚠️ A status quo approach at #FfD4 will be a deathblow to the entire system. Read Matt's full intervention ➡️ csoforffd.org/resources/in... #FfD4People

Now the EU have their best shot at financial justice, but they'll miss this golden opportunity if the #GlobalGateway is their only offer. Read @jeansaldanha.bsky.social's joint OpEd w/ @oxfameu.bsky.social, @actionaideu.bsky.social A 🧵 cc. @europarl.europa.eu @ec.europa.eu @consilium.europa.eu

Groundbreaking: UN Comm. on Econ, Soc & Cul. Rights states explicitly that taxation is a matter of #SocialJustice. States must eliminate unfair tax privileges, avoid regressive taxes hitting the poorest the hardest, and go for progressive tax: bit.ly/41CSj91 Hurray for #RTH & other #HumanRights !

De drastische besluiten van president Trump m.b.t. de WHO, buitenlandse hulp en USAID, brengen acuut miljoenen mensenlevens in gevaar. Nederland en de EU moeten serieus tegenwicht bieden en bijdragen aan het dichten van de gaten. Lees ons opinieartikel in @volkskrant.nl bit.ly/4aOLzIi

The WorldBank's IFC invested billions of dollars in private hospitals from Africa to Asia to improve healthcare. But dor who?! Not for those who cannot pay the bill, not for poor and vulnerable people. Here is an important report of abuses: bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Patients Detained, Denied Care at Hospitals Funded by World Bank

Billions of taxpayer dollars invested in for-profit facilities from Africa to Asia were supposed to improve access to healthcare. But stories of abuses have piled up.

Out-of-pocket health expenditure of 10% or more of their household budget is placing 1 in 8 people worldwide at risk of poverty. Governments must adequately invest in #HealthForAll and protect people – particularly the most vulnerable among us – from high health spending. bit.ly/3OGl5hA
