    2018 was a pivotal year for Focus 2030 after our launch in June 2017. Fully operational in support of the development community and our partners, in 2018 Focus 2030 was able to put its vision and five-year strategic plan into practice. Our 2018 Annual Report is being translated and will be available soon.

    • Our DATA work has continued, centered around the Aid Attitudes Tracker (AAT) programme, which investigates French attitudes to international development issues. Through our AAT work, we have developed individual training with our partners to help each one make the best use of the results of the opinion polls. We have also continued our exploration of the different budgetary trajectories possible for meeting the new 0.55%/GNI commitment made by French President Emmanuel Macron.
    • Under our INNOVATION workstream, we launched this year an ambitious programme promoting development and aid in Spain, implemented by three prestigious Spanish organisations: Elcano, Oxfam Intermón, and ISGlobal.
    • Finally, our focus on DEVELOPMENT was reinforced through our growing knowledge “hub”, and the publication of new policy briefs on aid and development financing mechanisms. In 2018, Focus 2030 also launched three specific workgroups for those working on development issues: on the G7, to prepare the French Presidency and Biarritz G7 summit in 2019; on gender equality, given the priority given by the French President nationally and internationally (through the G7) on this issue; and lastly on health, particularly in light of the replenishment conference for the Global Fund to Fight Aids, TB and Malaria, which is due to take place in Lyon on 10 October 2019.
