Achieving sustainable development in Africa requires rethinking the relationships, incentives and systems that shape capital flows and determine who benefits. #LeadersDialogue #DDat7 #SustainableDevelopment

This year, #DDWithMaqC has offered a front-row seat to the chapters, lives and living legacies of practitioners in the Education sector. This August, we feature the story of Khadija Shariff, Executive Director of @MileleZanzibarFoundation. #AfricanLuminaries #ImpactStorytelling

Imagine a reality where Development sector practitioners can tell their own stories in a safe and unhurried environment. Such a reality exists on our #ImpactStorytelling podcast, #DDWithMaqC. The #JohnMugo story continues! Catch the conversation: bit.ly/JohnMugoOnDDWithMaqC

The challenges of 2025 — authoritarianism, climate breakdown, rising inequality — remind us that silos won’t save us. We need to think beyond projects & programs. We need to think in #ecosystems. 🌍 Introducing: the Spectrum of Collective Impact.🧵 #SystemsChange👇

Over two years, we will be facilitating processes and spaces for engagement across eight organisations & a community of practice testing new models of equitable research & community engagement in Kenya, India, & South Africa. #CfENetwork

Recently, @DevelopDynamics, as a Network Facilitator, collaborated @wellcometrust to co-host the #CfENetwork in Mombasa, Kenya. A week-long co-creation sprint focused on advancing how we produce, share, and value knowledge in global health research!

While philanthropy is crucial for innovation and grassroots support (like AmplifyChange), #IAS2025 must stress it's NOT enough to offset major ODA contractions. It's vital for flexible funding, but not a replacement for sustained government commitment. #Philanthropy #SRHR

Discussions at #IAS2025 should address the mixed outlook for multilateral agencies, noting the record revenue of @UNFPA, @WHO, @UNAIDS in 2024/5, & the expected declines in 2025/206, along with financial strains on the @GlobalFund that threaten human rights & gender equality.

As #IAS2025 highlights the importance of comprehensive #SRHR, alarming declines in family planning funding (lowest since 2016!) threaten progress. Eroding value of resources means needs aren't being met. This impacts HIV prevention strategies. #FamilyPlanning #HIVPrevention

The looming funding climate for 2025/2026 is dire. At #IAS2025, we must confront geopolitical shifts, well-funded anti-SRHR movements, and aid diversion threats that undermine long-term development, including HIV/AIDS responses. #FundingCrisis #Advocacy

Discussions at #IAS2025 should address the mixed outlook for multilateral agencies, noting UNFPA's record revenue in 2024 but an expected decline in 2025, along with financial strains on the Global Fund that threaten human rights and gender equality. #UNFPA #GlobalFund

From #IAS2025 in Kigali, we must champion ODA value, demand transparency, and boost flexible funding for agencies like @UNFPA. Let's expose "policy-funding gaps" and counter disinformation to protect global SRHR and fight HIV. #ActNow #GlobalSolidarity

At #IAS2025, we need to confront the major issue: Numerous donors are falling short of their #SRHR funding goals, and 'inflated ODA' clouds the reality of actual aid. This has a direct impact on our advancement in HIV prevention and care. #GlobalHealth #ODA

This #IAS2025 in Kigali is a crucial touchpoint, particularly given the 'significant decline in funding within the aid system' for SRHR, while the demand continues to rise. This affects our united efforts against HIV/AIDS. Read the #SRHRFundingOutlook2025 dd.co.ke/the-srhr-funding-si…
