Powerful words from the ED our Results US sister affiliate at today's WB spring meetings in DC. Also powerful - when the WB President pledged to reach 1.5 billion with health coverage by 2030, a doubling of its ambition.
Joanne Carter, Chair of the ACTION Partnership, is speaking on the UHC Flagship event at #WBGmeetings "Ambitious targets need ambitious funding to match," says Joanne. "We need an ambitious, robust #IDA21 replenishment along w/ support for key orgs like @gavi @GlobalFund @theGFF"

We welcome the $350m increase to humanitarian aid over 2 years in #Budget2024. Many children & families around the 🌍 living in crises will have more access to the support they need to survive because of 🇨🇦’s investment. #cdnpoli #InvestInAid 👇

Canada spends less than half a penny on foreign aid for every dollar we earn. That $$ saves millions of lives, ends disease & suffering, spreads hope, and more. If your neighbour's house is on fire, it's in your best interest to put out the flames! @ResultsCda @PierrePoilievre
Pierre Poilievre says he would cut international aid to generate more dollars for defence spending. Specifically, he says he would "cut wasteful foreign aid that goes to dictators, terrorists and multinational bureaucracies" and "put that money into reinforcing our military, [to] bring our money home."

50%+ of those living in extreme poverty are children. Canada must ensure #Budget2024 is #AChildrensBudget by increasing our Intl Assistance Envelope by $600M & investing in health, nutrition and education. @cafreeland: we must #ReachEveryChild! #cdnpoli bit.ly/ResultsCTA2

“Evil doesn't have the last word… it is joy, caring and compassion that prevail in the end.” As this challenging year draws to an end, we remember the #wisdom and #hope of our first Chair, Desmond Tutu, speaking at the launch of The Elders in 2007.

Dr Yunus both gave the tools to millions to lift themselves out of poverty and is contributing to a larger global movement focused on pro-poor financing. He has changed the world, and hopefully the world will stand with him as we are in his debt theguardian.com/world/2024/j… – at Ottawa, Ontario

"A leader like Muhammad Yunus should be celebrated and free to contribute to improving the lives of people and the planet. The last place he should be is in prison. I call for an immediate reversal of this unjust verdict.": Ban Ki-moon.
