Today, the #IMF board will meet to discuss the outcome of its Review of Program Design and Conditionality. Eurodad, & more than 130 CSOs around the world, have sent an open letter warning against a return to frontloading austerity in IMF programmes. Read in full 🔗 www.eurodad.org/global_civil...

The answer to unsustainable debt burdens must not be more of the same failed austerity and liberalisation policies.

This is what happens without a rules-based debt restructuring mechanism. As Sankara said: Lenders "gambled as if in a casino. As long as they had gains, there was no debate. But now that they suffer losses, they demand repayment. They played, they lost, that’s the rule of the game, and life goes on"

The political will to deliver aid commitments has eroded. Countries in the #GlobalSouth deserve an alternative to rich countries' broken promises. 📚 Read why the #aid system needs a democratic reset in All Africa ➡️ ow.ly/isc950VHBHU 📊 See the key ODA trends from 2024 ➡️ ow.ly/MiaP50VHBIj

Fresh alarm bells for the future of aid after the first drop in ODA since 2017

Underneath a bar graph shows the progression of aid from 2015 to 2024.

While overall aid dropped by 7.1% in 2024, EU countries slashed 8.6% from their aid budgets

Underneath a dual axes graph shows on the left hand axis, total ODA, ODA from EU member states, and ODA from EU institutions. On the right hand axis a line chart shows total ODA as a percentage of GNI. A dotted line extending from 0.7% shows the ODA target, which they are miles behind at 0.33%

To the right pf the graph, a magnifying class icon draws attention to text that reads: Just 3 EU countries met their commitment to allocate 0.7% of GNI to aid. Denmark, Luxembourg, Sweden

A graph showing the the progression of ODA spending to Least developed countries (decreasing since 2020), in-donor refugee costs (increasing) and LDC debt payments (increasing with a huge jump in 2024).

To the right is the text:
In 2024, Least Developed Countries spent more on paying off debt than they received from rich countries.
What's more, the 'aid' that never left rich countries amounted to only slightly less than was sent to the world's poorest countries.

4 OECD DAC countries met or exceeded their commitment to allocate 0.7% of GNI to aid in 2024

WHILE

24 NATO members met or exceeded their commitment to allocate 2% of GNI to defence in 2024

Three EU countries met the 0.7% GNI commitment in 2024. The DAC average was 0.33%
In 2024, 15 out of 23 EU members in NATO met the 2% commitment. The NATO average was 2.71%
