            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Since 2013, a dynamic shows that more and more French people support an increase in development aid, although this trend has been slowly decreasing since June 2020.French public support for increasing official development assistance (ODA) rose from 18% in December 2013* to 21% in June 2025, with a peak of 37% in February 2020. This support started to drop between January 2020 and June 2020, just after the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.In parallel, this trend is reinforced by a progressive fall in the same period (from 43% in September 2013 to 30% in June 2025) in the number of French people who want the government to reduce ODA.These are opinions are given to a question which specifies the amount of ODA provided by France to developing countries (around 14,3 billion euros or only 0.5% of GNI). In reality this figure appears derisory compared to France’s overall GDP of 2823 billion euros, also provided in the question.The results given to this question over the years demonstrate a growing space and attention for development issues in the French public arena. According to the last figures collected in June 2025, when we examine the data more closely, we can see three trends emerging:– 56% of French people are in favor of increasing or maintaining the amount of French ODA, – For some groups (notably far-right voters, or those who say they are not concerned by global poverty), increasing (or maintening) ODA is less priority,– For those already concerned, informed or involved in development or global poverty, there is a strong swelling of support for increasing ODA.Which hypotheses to explain this evolution?– Successive civil society campaigns, which slowly 'imprint' a better knowledge or awareness of development aid issues over time;– (Social) media coverage, or a growing ease in a globalised world to access, see or share information related to global poverty.– The emergence of migration issues, which have sparked debate and awareness about the reasons for migrants and refugees to leave their home countries in search of a better life.– Finally, political and geopolitical instability, inflation, the feeling of loosing purchasing power and a possible link to other factors at national or international level are likely to explain the gradual decline in support for ODA since the last survey waves. As well as the recent debates about the French state budget that needs to be reduced, plus the decision of the government to reduce ODA, or some controversial statements about ODA, that has been allocated to Algeria or China.*Please note: Results collected between September 2013 and July 2018 are from the Aid Attitudes Tracker (AAT) research project, while from May 2019 onwards, results relating to the same question are from the Development Engagement Lab (DEL) project. Although these two studies are sufficiently similar to show the evolution of the responses, they are based on two slightly different sampling methods, which may explain, in part, the evolution of the results between AAT and DEL from May 2019 onwards. Support to increase (a bit or a lot) French development aid to poor countries is something which is particularly visible in young respondents (18-34) compare to their elders (45+): + 16 percentage points. Similarly, the desire to see ODA spending reduced is something which is typical of those over 35 or right-wing voters.Increasing ODA is also much more important for left-wing voters compare to average of right wing voters. On average, 79% of center voters or left-wing supporters are in favor of increasing (or maintaining) ODA, compare to 41% of right-wing voters. Thus, political preference is a fundamental (and proportional) indicator of support of development aid. Left-wing voters agree with an increase, while far right-wing voters want to see ODA decreased. Center-voters are those with the highest percentage of those preferring to keep the status quo (maintaining: neither increase nor decrease).This data comes from our survey conducted by the YouGov Institute and piloted by the research team at University College London and the University of Birmingham as part of the projects Aid Attitudes Tracker and Development Engagement Lab  which measures the evolution of opinions and behaviors on issues of international solidarity in four countries.

            [descriptif] => A few months after a first setback in official development aid, the French government has announced a new budget cut for 2024. Analysis.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => In the wake of a historic reduction in French official development assistance, Focus 2030 publishes its independent assessment of France’s development aid policy since 2017. Achievement of assigned objectives, planned reforms, modernization efforts, financial trajectories... Consult the report “France’s Official Development Assistance in a world of uncertainty: a fading ambition?”.   As a long-standing player in the field of official development assistance and international solidarity, France has been making unprecedented cuts to its commitments since 2023. After postponing for five years the target of allocating 0.7% of national wealth to international solidarity, France has made three successive cuts to its official development assistance budget. The 2025 Finance Act thus ratifies a 39% reduction in budgetary credits for the “Official Development Assistance” mission, representing a historic cut of almost 2.3 billion euros between 2024 and 2025. Analysis and reactions from civil society players.History of Cuts Made by France to Its Budget for Official Development Assistance (ODA): 2023 :The Interministerial Committee for International Cooperation and Development (CICID)  postponed the goal of allocating 0.7% of France’s GNI to ODA from 2025 to 2030. According to OECD data, France’s total ODA fell by 11% compared to 2022. 2024 : decree cancels €10 billion from the general state budget, including a €742 million reduction for the ODA budget line — making it the most affected mission in proportional terms. 2025 : The finance law confirms a 37% cut in the budget allocated to the ODA mission. In April, a decree increased this cut to 39%, representing a reduction of nearly €2.3 billion for ODA.A 50-year-old unfulfilled promise postponed for another five yearsFrance is currently the world’s fourth-largest donor of Official Development Assistance (ODA). In 2024, it allocated  0.48% of its gross national income (GNI), or 14,3 billion euros, to this public policy. However, it has never met the international commitment, adopted by industrialized countries at the United Nations in 1970, to devote 0.7% of their revenues to ODA.In 2021, a new law enshrined a historic step forward, stipulating that 0.7% of GNI be devoted to ODA by 2025. However, the government discreetly backtracked on this commitment in the summer of 2023, pushing back the target to 2030, on the occasion of the Interministerial Committee for International Cooperation and Development (CICID).According to Focus 2030 projections, the postponement of this target from 2025 to 2030 as well as budget cuts for ODA in 2024 and 2025 cuts represent a shortfall of more than 35 billion euros for international development between 2025 and 2030, at a time when the most vulnerable countries are facing an unprecedented fiscal squeeze, having to choose on a daily basis between investing in the fight against poverty, education, climate and the energy transition, and repaying their debt.Moreover, France’s ODA has already declined in 2023 for the first time in seven years, and remained at this low level in 2024. According to data from the OECD, France’s ODA was 13% lower in 2023 than in 2022. France’s ODA represented 0.48% of its GNI in 2023 (compared with 0.56% in 2022), in contradiction with the trajectory set out in the 2021 programming law. The latter envisaged reaching 0.66% of France’s GNI dedicated to ODA in 2024.2024: a new ODA cut, 10 times larger than other budget cutsWhile France has repeatedly pledged on the international stage to support countries most vulnerable to climate change and to the long-term consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, most notably at the June 2023 Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, these new directions cast doubt.On February 18, 2024, Bruno Le Maire, the Finance Minister, announced the government’s intention to offset the anticipated decline in French growth in 2024, with savings of 10 billion euros. Of this amount, 742 million euros have been cut from the Official Development Assistance budget.Official Development Assistance is disproportionately affected by the overall 10-billion-euro budget cut. A reduction of 742 million euros in the ODA budget line (which represents around a third of France’s total ODA) corresponds to a 12.5% drop in the 5.9 billion euros budget set out in the Finance Act for 2024, down to 5.1 billion euros (from 5.9 billion in 2023). In comparison, a 10-billion-euro reduction across all budget lines corresponds to a 1.3% drop, to 803 billion euros. Official Development Assistance, a vital instrument for millions of people around the world, is thus cut 10 times more than other budget lines on average.Beyond its symbolic significance, this budget cut will impact millions of lives. As an illustration, cutting 742 million euros from the budget of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria means 800,000 fewer lives preserved, 18 million new infections or cases across the three diseases that will not be prevented, or 1.1 million people who will not be able to access antiretroviral therapy for HIV.2025 Finance Bill: a historic reduction in ODA estimated at more than €2.3 billion The Finance Bill for 2025 enshrines historic cuts for the Official Development Assistance mission, with a reduction of more than 2.1 billion euros 2024 and 2025 to which a decree of April 25, 2025 added a further reduction of 134 million euros. The reduction, applied to payment credits for 2024 (5.76 billion euros), reaches 2.259 billion euros.In addition, the bill provides for the end of innovative ODA financing. Part of the revenue from the tax on financial transactions and the solidarity tax on airline tickets (738 million euros) was previously allocated each year to the Solidarity Fund for Development (FSD) to support France’s financing of multilateral instruments (Global Fund, IFFIm, Unitaid, Green Climate Fund, Global Partnership for Education). The Finance Bill formalizes the abolition of the FSD : all proceeds from the two taxes will now be paid into the general budget, thus abolishing the only instrument that directly supported ODA on an ongoing basis each year.The FSD is replaced by a new budget line of the same name, which adds 738 million euros in payment credits to the ODA mission in 2025, artificially limiting the fall in payment credits to 24% (-1.4 billion euros).At a time when multilateral cooperation and international solidarity are more crucial than ever to meeting global challenges, these political decisions appear to run counter to current needs. As Oxfam points out, “with this budget trajectory, most of the objectives set out in black and white in the 2021 orientation and programming law will not be met”.French NGOs reactFollowing the February 2024 cuts, numerous NGOs denounced France’s 'lack of coherence', such as

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => On April 6, 2025, the last meeting of the Presidential Council for International Partnerships was held, a body whose mission is to set guidelines for France’s development and international solidarity policy. The Council’s conclusions reveal new ambitions for France’s international action, envisaging nothing less than a paradigm shift in official development assistance. The change of name alone illustrates this desire. Analysis. A New Policy for France’s International Partnerships?  The Presidential Council for International Partnerships, formerly 'for development', unveils France’s new strategic priorities, with the aim of moving away from 'dependencies on development aid' by tackling the reform of the international financial architecture and the structural causes of poverty and inequalities.At a time when France is facing an unprecedented contraction of its fiscal space (with public deficit and public debt respectively at 6% and 113% of GDP at the time of writing), the conclusions of the Presidential Council are unequivocal: it will be necessary to do better with less by maximizing organizational efficiency, leverage and impact in the field. A Concentration of Financial Support on the Most Vulnerable Countries That Deserves Further Elaboration Despite these constraints, the French government is now committed to devoting at least 60 % of its grants to the most vulnerable countries, understood as the least developed countries, or LDCs , and countries that are particularly vulnerable to climate change or in situations of great financial fragility according to the UN’s Multidimensional Vulnerability Index (MVI). The list of countries selected according to these criteria has not yet been made public. France also reaffirms its support for conflict-affected countries, particularly Ukraine.This aim to concentrate the country’s financial efforts on the most vulnerable countries is welcome, insofar as France’s action is designed to meet the challenge of poverty in the most fragile countries, thus respecting the spirit of Agenda 2030, which aims to 'leave no one behind'.Towards New Geographic and Thematic Priorities?However, the implementation of such an ambition raises questions. To date, the LDCs include no less than 44 States, to which France intends to add a series of vulnerable countries as defined by the new United Nations indicator. Considering that France has reduced its budget for official development assistance by 37 % (which funds most grants) between 2024 and 2025, expanding the number of recipient countries is likely to have the mathematical consequence of increasing the dispersal of France’s ODA, which runs counter to the desired effect...The geographical priorities are focused on the African continent, the Indo-Pacific region, and the European neighborhood.France’s action in the field of international solidarity remains focused on 10 sectoral objectives, including environmental and climate protection, education, health, entrepreneurship, strategic infrastructure, youth, food sovereignty, human rights, gender equality and the fight against illegal immigration.These objectives must apply to all operators, instruments and financing. In the context of bilateral relations, three of these objectives should be given priority in each country strategy (with the notable exception of the fight against illegal immigration, which may be included in addition).At the multilateral level, France now intends to review its commitments to international organizations in light of those ten strategic priorities and the influence it holds within those organizations. Towards an Explicitly Transactional Approach?These new directions now unapologetically assume the search for a 'return on investment', from a diplomatic as well as an economic and security angle. However, this approach needs to be carefully scrutinized to ensure that “tied aid”, a practice prohibited by the OECD, does not resurface, nor other transactional approaches currently popular across the Atlantic...These broad guidelines will be translated into operational terms by the Interministerial Committee for International Cooperation and Development, to be held under the authority of the Prime Minister between now and June 2025.

            [descriptif] => ODA decreased by 7.1% in real terms between 2023 and 2024, reaching USD 212 billion, or 0.33% of the combined GNI of DAC members.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => The OECD published, on 16 April 2025, the preliminary figures for the amounts allocated by donor countries to Official Development Assistance (ODA) in 2024.After five years of consecutive growth in their budget for international cooperation, the 32 members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) have made a historic renunciation in 2024.ODA from DAC members fell to 212.1 billion in 2024, a 7.1% drop on 2023. In particular, 22 donor countries have reduced their financial efforts, despite growing international needs.The multiple budget cuts recently announced by many donor countries suggest that the renunciation begun in 2024 will continue this year. Ten of the major European donor countries are planning to reduce their ODA by \$18 billion in 2025 compared with 2023, including \$9.2 billion for Germany, \$2.6 billion for France and \$2.2 billion for the UK. The OECD estimates that total ODA will drop between 9% and 17% from 2024 to 2025.Analysis. In 2024, ODA declines for the first time in five yearsAfter reaching a new peak in 2023, ODA from DAC donor countries declined in 2024 to \$212.1 billion, down 7.1% in real terms compared with 2023. The United States remains the leading donor (\$63.3 billion), followed by Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan and France.The drop in ODA in 2024 was mainly due to a decline in support for the work of international organizations (-10.9%) and for Ukraine (-16.7%), as well as a drop in humanitarian aid (-9.6%). Bilateral aid fell by 5.8%.In-donor refugee costs, which can be counted as ODA in the first year of hosting, are lower than in 2023 (-17.3%), but nevertheless accounted for \$27.8 billion in 2024, or 13.1% of total ODA.   This amount is equivalent to 0.33% of the combined gross national income (GNI) of the DAC countries, down from 0.37% in 2023. Only four countries have reached the target of allocating 0.7% of their GNI to ODA, which was adopted by the industrialised countries at the United Nations in 1970: Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, and Denmark.  An increase in ODA since the adoption of the Sustainable Development GoalsSince the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, total ODA from DAC countries has more than doubled in real terms. Compared with 2019, it has risen by 24%, in response to the multiple global crises generated in particular by the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, climate change and their cascading consequences. It should be noted, however, that the cost of hosting refugees in donor countries declared as ODA, which by its very nature does not contribute to the fight against poverty in developing countries, has tripled since 2019.  France lags far behind its own trajectoryFrance’s ODA reached \$15.4 billion in 2024, unchanged from the previous year (-3 million euros in real terms). As a result, France remains 5th among donor countries in volume. However, this apparent stability is due to a drop in its bilateral grants, offset by an increase in its bilateral loans.This amount represents 0.48% of its GNI, in contradiction with the trajectory set out in the 2021 programming law on inclusive development and the fight against global inequalities. Indeed, the latter envisaged reaching 0.66% of France’s GNI dedicated to ODA in 2024. France ranks 10th among donor countries in proportion of its wealth.Yet the trajectory of French ODA is unlikely to pick up again in 2025: the 2025 Finance Law foresees a EUR 2.1 billion cut in this year’s budget.REACTIONS FROM NGOSDAC CSO Reference Group: No more business as usual - this is the moment to transform the aid systemEURODAD: Aid crisis - new data sounds fresh alarm bells for the futureCONCORD: The EU’s short-sighted aid cuts are a choice – so is the way forward!Find out more about the preliminary figures for ODA in 2024.

            [descriptif] => Focus 2030 is tracking progress on the commitments made at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact held in June 2023 in Paris.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => On 22 and 23 June 2023, the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact took place in Paris, an international meeting aiming to contribute to a reform of the international financial architecture which is as urgent as it is necessary.As the world faces unprecedented health, humanitarian, economic and geopolitical crises, funding to meet the essential needs of populations, particularly the most vulnerable, is in short supply. An estimated USD \$4 trillion is necessary to overcome these challenges and achieve the SDGs in developing countries, 19 times the amount mobilized through Official Development Assistance in 2024. As a result, developing and emerging countries find themselves having to choose on a daily basis between investing in the fight against poverty and inequalities, education, health and repaying their debt. Meanwhile, the fight against, and adaptation to, climate change, which is disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable countries, cannot be adequately financed.Faced with these overlapping crises, which highlight ever-increasing global inequalities, the solution identified at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact consists in mobilizing new financing to expand fiscal space for developing countries. Several areas for reform have been identified, aimed at meeting past financial commitments, maximizing existing financing mechanisms and mobilizing new sources of financing for development and climate, as well as agreeing on debt management for those countries struggling the most. These commitments are set out in the Paris Pact for People and the Planet (4Ps) and its accompanying roadmap.A Secretariat, hosted by the OECD, has been established to coordinate the initiatives formed since June 2023, organize 4P implementation committees and monitor progress. As of April 2025, 72 countries have endorsed the 4Ps.As a follow-up to this Summit, and to provide the most accurate picture possible of the efforts still to be made, Focus 2030 is carrying out an independent review of the progress made on the various commitments. This work relies on interviews with experts in development and climate finance, leading political, financial and civil society experts and an extensive review of documents, official statements and analysis from specialist organizations. Updates on further progress and key milestones are added regularly.State of progress by issueThe commitments identified in the Summit roadmap and in the 4Ps are assessed according to their level of progress (significant progress, encouraging but insufficient progress, minor progress, no progress or regression) and disaggregated into five areas of action:– Reforming international financial institutions– Optimizing existing financing– Mobilizing additional funding– Speeding up debt relief– Mobilizing private financingThe table below summarizes the developments observed since June 2023 for all these commitments.Table updated on 18 April 2025 Key findingsWhile reforming the international financial architecture has remained at the top of the international agenda for more than a year, despite the multiple crises underway, the progress observed remains too slow to deliver on the promise of the 2030 Agenda and the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.Notable advances include a certain willingness on the part of multilateral development banks and international financial institutions to reform their operating methods and tools, and a positive dynamic with regard to governance reforms to ensure a more accurate representation of developing countries in these organizations.Nevertheless, many challenges remain. Although political leaders seem to agree on the need to act effectively and rapidly, decisions are not following suit: on debt servicing, the implementation of international taxes, the mobilization of the private sector or the provision of more resources, progress is not keeping pace with the unprecedented contraction in the fiscal space of the most vulnerable countries.A number of indicators are particularly worrying in view of the urgency of the situation: a recapitalization of the World Bank appears to be far from being conceivable by many political leaders, official development assistance is stagnating or even declining in several countries, and a strong political will is lacking to mobilize more financing via international taxation and the introduction of global levies.All hopes appear to be placed in the hands of the private sector, which cannot shoulder the entire burden on its own, and whose sectors and countries of investment can hardly be directed towards 'non-bankable' social policies such as education and healthcare. It is therefore important not to substitute a sufficient allocation of concessional resources to developing countries for subsidies to the private sector, the effectiveness of which is not guaranteed.If we are to keep the promise of the 2030 Agenda and the Paris Agreement, it is vital that we intensify our efforts and respond to the concerns of the most vulnerable countries, particularly at future international meetings, such as the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development in Seville in June 2025.

            [text] =>   In the run-up to the Nutrition for Growth 2025 (N4G) Summit, Focus 2030 has issued a special edition to present the issues to be discussed at the Summit and the challenges posed by malnutrition. Further information is available on the official N4G Summit website.  Activer le son Editorial Malnutrition is the leading cause of infant mortality worldwide, responsible for nearly one in two deaths among children under five. Malnutrition, in all its forms - undernutrition, deficiencies, overweight or obesity - is a major global challenge.Good nutrition is central to the health of individuals and to the social and economic development of countries. No country is exempt from malnutrition.It has been demonstrated that for every dollar invested in nutrition, a return of 23 dollars is generated, when the cost of inaction is significantly higher, resulting in the devastation of lives and the loss of tens of billions of dollars to the global economy.Yet malnutrition remains the great neglected area of the international community—a misguided view, because it fails to recognize that addressing malnutrition is both possible and imperative. Beyond insufficient financial and political investments in nutrition, factors such as conflict, climate change, economic crisis, inequalities, lack of regulation of the agri-food industry and lack of support for responsible agricultural policies contribute to the exacerbation of malnutrition on a global scale, postponing the achievement of SDG 2: eradicate hunger and malnutrition.This challenge can only be met with strong political will  and resources commensurate with the stakes. In this context, the first Nutrition for Growth Summit  was organized in 2013, with subsequent summits being held every four years in the host countries of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Its aim: to mobilize the international community - governments, international organizations, civil society, foundations, the private sector and the world of research - around concrete political and financial commitments. The last Summit, held in Japan in 2021, resulted in the mobilization of US\$27 billion.On March 27 and 28, 2025, France will host this crucial summit, offering a unique opportunity to advance the fight against malnutrition on a global scale.In this special edition, discover an overview of the issues at stake and latest news on the N4G Summit, including key figures on the global situation, interviews with experts and campaigns from civil society organizations.  Contents The 2025 N4G Summit, a key international event to drive global action on nutrition State of malnutrition in the world : facts and figures Exclusive interviews with leading expertsCivil Society Organizations mobilize for the 2025 N4G Summit         Survey : the French and the fight against malnutrition worldwide at the Nutrition for Growth SummitNutrition : An issue that goes hand in hand with the 17 Sustainable Development GoalsPress coverage of the Nutrition for Growth Summit         The latests news from the N4G Summit 2025Calendar toward the 2025 Nutrition for Growth Summit in Paris The 2025 N4G Summit, a key international event to drive global action on nutrition The next edition of the Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025, in Paris, represents a unique opportunity for France to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition.The 2025 Paris Summit will : Put nutrition at the center of the sustainable development agenda Make the fight against all forms of malnutrition a universal cause Ensure continuity between N4G summits and in the commitments for good nutrition Maintain a high level of political and financial engagement for nutritionFurther information is available on the official N4G Summit website. About the N4G Summits : The Nutrition for Growth or N4G Summits  are international events mobilizing a diversity of stakeholders - governments, international organizations, civil society, foundations, the private and academic sectors - to make concrete political and financial commitments to nutrition.Organized every four years by the host country of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the last N4G Summit was hosted by Japan in 2021, raising \$27 billion through 396 commitments from 181 stakeholders in 78 countries.These commitments must comply with a certain number of conditions known as the Principles of engagement, and are intended to be closely monitored by civil society organizations working to promote stakeholder accountability.A global mobilization is needed to make ambitious commitments during the N4G Summit in ParisNumerous governments, international organizations and non-governmental organizations around the world are mobilizing ahead of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, to define bold commitments and exchange ideas on principles of commitment and accountability.The N4G event will provide a platform to announce political and financial pledges by governments, international organizations, civil society, businesses and donors, all aimed at improving global nutrition across a wide range of themes such as health, agriculture, climate and gender equality. These commitments can take various forms. The N4G Paris Commitment Guide is designed to assist stakeholders in formulating their commitments, guided by engagement principles. Governments can choose to implement policies to improve national nutrition outcomes and meet local or international objectives. Food industries, for instance, could pledge to enhance the nutritional quality of their products. In parallel, financial commitments could be made to fund projects improving nutrition for targeted populations or geographic areas, or encourage investment in food companies producing healthier options that meet strict criteria

            [text] => The Nutrition for Growth 2025 Summit in Paris brought together more than 127 delegations, including 106 governments, as well as numerous international organizations, civil society actors, development banks, philanthropic organizations, research institutions, and businesses.In total, the international community’s financial commitments for nutrition reached an all-time high amount of \$27.55 billion dollars.    Some 120 stakeholders have recorded more than 400 commitments on the Nutrition Accountability Framework platform.The majority of commitments were made by States and civil society organizations.The commitments made during the Summit have been published on the official Summit website. Accountability and the ability to track these commitments over the coming years will be crucial to ensure their impact. The amount mobilized in Paris surpasses the record set at the previous N4G Summit in Tokyo in 2021, in a context of reduced international aid from major donor countries. Among them, the United States, the largest global donor of food aid, had pledged more than 11 billion dollars at the 2021 N4G Summit, but did not announce any new financial commitments at the 2025 edition. The majority of commitments were made at the national level, although a significant portion are global, regional, or multi-country commitments. Among the recorded commitments, 53 (13%) are financial and 350 (87%) are political. Among the political commitments: 23% focus on a conducive environment, meaning the creation of conditions favorable to improving nutrition (e.g., leadership and governance, research, monitoring, or data collection). 51% concern policies, strategies, programs, or interventions, in other words, the implementation of concrete actions (e.g., developing a multisectoral nutrition plan, treating cases of acute malnutrition, or increasing the proportion of healthy products in a company’s offering). 26% aim for direct impact, meaning the tangible improvement of nutritional outcomes in a population (e.g., reducing stunting in children under 5 years old or decreasing anemia among women of reproductive age). Financial commitments Development banks responded massively to the call, with :5 billion dollars from the World Bank for the period 2025-20309.5 billion dollars from the African Development Bank for the period 2025-2030The European Union and its Member States also showed a strong commitment, with a total of 6.5 billion euros, including :3.4 billion euros from the European Commission for the period 2024-2027While some long-standing donor countries in the fight against malnutrition (United States, United Kingdom, Canada) did not make financial commitments, others pledged :France, host of the Summit, pledged 750 million euros by 2030. These funds mainly concern projects supported by the French Development Agency and food aid programs from the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs.Germany announced 870 million euros for the period 2022-2027.Ireland committed to providing 250 million euros per year between 2026 and 2029.Madagascar committed to allocating 5% of its national budget to nutrition.Nepal promised more than 1 billion dollars.El Salvador promised more than 500 million dollars.Philanthropic organizations also played a crucial role, mobilizing more than 2 billion dollars :Gates Foundation : 750 million dollars over the next four years to improve access to nutrition for mothers and children and fortify staple foods.Bezos Family Foundation : 500 million dollars in donations for the Child Nutrition Fund hosted by UNICEF.Children’s Investment Fund Foundation : 400 million dollars by the end of 2028 for various nutrition interventions.Kirk Humanitarian : 125 million dollars last year to increase access to prenatal vitamins (multiple micronutrient supplementation - MMS)Rockefeller Foundation : 100 million dollars for school meals and food systems transformation.Eleanor Crook Foundation : up to 50 million dollars for prenatal vitamins (MMS).GiveWell : 50 million dollars for nutrition programs.Asia Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN) : 10 million dollars. Focus on France’s commitment to nutrition at the latest N4G Summit in Tokyo in 2021 Action Santé Mondiale conducted an analysis of the commitments made by France at the N4G Summit in Tokyo in 2021, targeting over 90 million euros per year.Commitments madeMonitoring of commitments in 2022 Allocate 50% of Programmed Food Aid funding to nutrition. 67%, i.e. €101.67MThe share of Programmed Food Aid allocated to nutrition exceeded the set target, having steadily increased in 2021 and then in 2022. Allocate 15% of the French Development Agency’s commitments in the sectors of agriculture, health, and water, sanitation, and hygiene to nutrition in 8 priority countries, according to the OECD marker methodology. 16.5%, i.e. €14.9MThe French Development Agency did allocate more than 15% of its commitments to nutrition in the agriculture and health sectors in 8 priority countries. Allocate 25% of the funds provided by the French Muskoka Fund to nutrition. 18%, i.e. €1.87MThe French Muskoka Fund allocated less than 20% of its funds to nutrition. Source: From Tokyo to Paris: France’s commitment against malnutrition, Action Santé Mondiale Political commitments Some countries, including Madagascar, Côte d’Ivoire, Guatemala, and Bangladesh, have made notable political commitments to address the burden of malnutrition in their countries.France, at the national level, committed to strengthening education on sustainable diets, promoting the prevention and early detection of malnutrition, and improving the nutritional quality of the food supply. France also stated that nutrition and the monitoring of the N4G Paris Summit commitments would be on the agenda of the French presidency of the G7 in 2026. Private sector commitments Only companies that adhere to the N4G Summit engagement principles (see the engagement guide here) were allowed to participate and make commitments at the Summit. However, in order to facilitate a dialogue with the entire private sector, a parallel event entitled “Private Sector and Nutrition : A Shared Responsibility” was organized by the Paris Peace Forum, in collaboration with ATNi and GAIN on March 26 prior to the Summit.This event notably launched the Pari

            [text] =>  The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this international summit, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.  Interview with Axel van Trotsenburg, Senior Managing Director, World Bank, in charge of Development Policies and PartnershipsFocus 2030 : Malnutrition remains one of the world’s most pressing yet under-addressed development issues. What are the economic and societal costs of inaction in this area? Conversely, how can investing in nutrition deliver measurable cost-benefit returns?Axel van Trotsenburg, Senior Managing Director, World Bank, in charge of Development Policies and Partnerships.  :  Malnutrition is a major, yet often neglected, development challenge of our time. The consequences of failing to act are significant, undermining productivity, burdening healthcare systems, and trapping entire generations in poverty.The good news is that we know what works to save lives. Our data shows that by scaling up high-impact nutrition interventions and access to healthy food, we can prevent 6.2 million child deaths and nearly 1 million stillbirths over the next decade.The economic argument for taking action is equally strong. Every dollar invested in combating malnutrition yields a \$23 return because of improved health outcomes and increased productivity. Scaling up nutrition programs could generate significant economic gains, unlocking opportunities for education, workforce participation, and long-term prosperity. This is why the World Bank Group is committed to the nutrition agenda, as it not only improves lives but directly impacts job creation and economic growth.Focus 2030 : According to the World Bank Investment Framework for Nutrition 2024, what specific solutions should be prioritized and funded to effectively tackle all forms of malnutrition?Axel van Trotsenburg : Malnutrition is driven by multiple factors and hence requires a multi-sector response. Successful countries have been able to leverage action across sectors to improve nutrition outcomes. This includes delivering nutrition services within essential health care packages and integrating nutrition actions across sectors such as social protection, agriculture and education.For instance, in Haiti, nearly half the population is facing hunger. In response, the Government together with the World Bank, the World Food Programme and local NGOs, are joining forces to deliver immediate relief and build long-term resilience. Together, we are providing cash transfers to 22,000 vulnerable households and over 10 million school meals. At the same time, investments in small-scale farmers aim to strengthen local food systems and lay the foundation for a more food-secure future. In Nigeria a World Bank-supported project has provided more than 13 million women, adolescent girls, and children under the age of five with quality, cost-effective nutrition services over the past five years. Indonesia’s initiative to combat stunting combined nutrition services with early childhood education, clean water, and social assistance. As a result, stunting rates dropped from 31% to 22% between 2018 and 2023, helping over 20 million children escape this curse.Given fiscal constraints and the shifting landscape for development assistance, both optimizing how sector investments deliver better nutrition, as outlined above, and maximizing innovative financing sources are critical.Actions such as repurposing agrifood subsidies for healthy diets, and taxing unhealthy foods to shift dietary behaviors, as well as innovative co-investment models and partnerships are also invaluable in driving greater progress.. Focus 2030 :  On March 27-28, 2025, France will host the next Nutrition for Growth Summit aimed at tackling the root causes of malnutrition worldwide. What are the World Bank’s expectations for this event, and how does it plan to engage and contribute to the Summit’s objectives?Axel van Trotsenburg :  As a global leader in nutrition, the World Bank is strongly committed to integrating nutrition across its public and private investments.Cost-effective nutrition interventions are also an important element of our efforts to help countries deliver quality, affordable health services to  1.5 billion people by 2030..At the Summit, we reaffirmed our strong commitment: The World Bank Group will spend at least \$5 billion in nutrition related activities in the next 5 year, led by country demand and availability of financing, including continued donor support to IDA.NB : The opinions expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus 2030.

In the run-up to this international summit, Focus 2030 devotes a special edition to the challenges of (mal)nutrition worldwide, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts involved in the field of nutrition.As Paris hosts the international Nutrition for Growth Summit on March 27 and 28, aimed at securing financial and political commitments to combat malnutrition globally, 50 representatives from NGOs and public figures highlighted the urgent need to address malnutrition on a global scale.  In front of the Eiffel Tower, at dusk, 50 distress signals, set up by committed individuals - athletes, chefs, musicians (Arnaud Assoumani, Alain Cojean, Anouk Garnier, Pauline Latchoumanin, David Rathgeber, Fanny Rey, Noémie Saglio, Jonathan Wahid, Nacer Zorgani) and representatives and volunteers from civil society (Action Against Hunger, Action Santé Mondiale, Focus 2030, GRET, Global Citizen, and UNICEF France), were simultaneously lit in silence to symbolize a tragic reality: malnutrition is responsible for 50% of deaths in children under 5 worldwide.  The event was followed by a short musical performance by Adrien Soleiman, saxophonist, composer, producer, and arranger.Activer le son Reactions from civil society representatives :Aicha Koraïchi, President of Action Against Hunger: “It is undeniable that today, resolving world hunger does not attract significant interest, and we have the right to question the priorities of our heads of state when, for the past 45 years, Action Against Hunger has emphasized that solving the problem of hunger worldwide requires both financial resources and strong political will.”Luc Arnaud, CEO of GRET: “For millions of children, the consequences of malnutrition on their physical and cognitive development are irreversible. While this situation is avoidable, current policies and funding remain insufficiently targeted towards specific malnutrition prevention actions. On the occasion of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, we call on governments, donors, agri-food companies, institutions, and organizations in the nutrition and development sectors to make nutrition prevention a priority. Let us act together to give children the development they have the right to.”Ann Avril, Director General of UNICEF France: “Malnutrition is responsible for nearly half of all deaths in children under 5 and deprives millions of them of their fundamental rights. This situation is unacceptable. The gains and progress made in the fight against malnutrition are now threatened by successive crises and the disengagement of many states in terms of international solidarity. The Nutrition for Growth Summit (N4G), to be held on March 27 and 28, must provide concrete solutions to ensure the sustainability of actions against malnutrition. France must make a firm and ambitious commitment to defend children’s rights.”Patrick Bertrand, Executive Director of Action Santé Mondiale: “In the face of the devastating consequences of malnutrition on the health of children, women, and men worldwide, solutions exist and must be better funded. The World Bank estimates that adequate investment in high-impact interventions could prevent the deaths of over 6 million children under five, while inaction would cost \$41 trillion over the next 10 years. On the occasion of the N4G Summit, civil society is therefore calling on France to allocate €1.5 billion to fight malnutrition by 2030.”Isabelle Defourny, President of Médecins Sans Frontières France: “In dozens of countries, our teams witness the effects of malnutrition daily. In 2023, MSF provided care to 499,500 malnourished children and 161,000 severely malnourished children. The Nutrition for Growth Summit must be an opportunity to show creativity in financing the fight against malnutrition; an opportunity for France to set an example. A stable, predictable, and reliable financing mechanism must be put in place to fund both the prevention and treatment of acute malnutrition. Without a change in model, thousands of children are at risk of death.”

            [text] => The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this international summit, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.  Three questions to Anita Zaidi, President of the Gender Equality Division at the Gates FoundationFocus 2030 : At least two-thirds - more than a billion - adolescent girls and women suffer from undernutrition (underweight and short height), micronutrient deficiencies, and anemia, with devastating consequences for their lives and well-being. What do you see as the biggest obstacles and challenges to addressing the gender nutrition gap today?Anita Zaidi : The Gates Foundation’s mission is to make sure that good health isn’t an accident of birth. It shouldn’t depend on your gender, where you’re born, or how much money you have. Working as a pediatrician in Pakistan earlier in my career, I saw the life-or-death consequences of this inequality every day.I spent many years working in a community outside of Karachi called Rehri Goth, where one in every 10 children died before they can reach age 5. This was directly connected to the lack of care available for women during pregnancy and delivery. In this same community, about 60 percent of pregnant women were anemic.Anemia, a lack of iron, has huge health consequences, from diminished mental and physical capacity to postpartum hemorrhage—the leading cause of maternal death worldwide. A potentially deadly condition, anemia affects more than one-third of pregnant women and children under five globally.For far too long, women’s health and nutrition have been sidelined: underfunded, under-researched, and overlooked. As a result, outdated research has dictated nutrition guidelines for women in low- and- middle income countries, and practitioners in these countries haven’t had access to the most effective tools to address women’s unique nutritional needs.The tools to prevent and treat anemia exist– rates have been dramatically lowered in Western countries. It’s about access to better nutrition, adding essential nutrients like iron to commonly consumed foods, providing micronutrient supplements to pregnant women, and improving the diagnosis and treatments for anemia. We’re also exploring new approaches like IV iron for women with severe anemia, especially in the areas where rates are highest.Despite the growing problem and having the tools at our fingertips, funding to address anemia has decreased in recent years. Today no region in the world is on track to meet the global goal of cutting anemia rates in half by 2030.This is unacceptable. We’re committed to working with governments and other partners to reverse this trend, and to ensure that pregnancy and childbirth is a safe and celebratory time for women, no matter where they live. Focus 2030 : In your view, what are the most effective solutions to address malnutrition of women and girls?Anita Zaidi : First, the good news: as a global community, we’re in a better place than ever before when it comes to improving maternal and child nutrition. Malnutrition is a complex issue to tackle. It has many underlying causes, requiring reaching people through programs across multiple sectors. In the last 20 years, the community has made incredible strides. We now have more knowledge and better tools to address it.One key thing we’ve learned is how essential women’s nutrition is—not just for a woman’s own health, but for the health of her baby as well. For example, more than half of all stunting in the first two years of a child’s life occurs during pregnancy and in the first six months of life, signaling the critical importance of maternal nutrition.Our recent Goalkeepers report highlights some powerful solutions for addressing malnutrition—what our foundation call 'best buys,' or tools that can have a huge impact for a relatively low price tag. One that I’m really excited about is Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS), a complete prenatal vitamin. Taken daily during pregnancy, MMS can prevent anemia, support a healthy pregnancy, and lower the risk of preterm birth or low birth weight. What’s incredible is that MMS works even better than the traditional iron and folic acid supplements. It’s easier to take. It could save nearly half a million lives globally by 2040. And, here’s the kicker – it only costs about \$2.50 per pregnancy.Integrating MMS into quality antenatal care is truly one of the smartest investments to make for women and babies everywhere. It’s a game-changer in improving birth outcomes, ensuring that mothers and babies get the nutrition and care they need, and to help moms and babies survive and thrive.But solutions don’t stop at the health system—the food system plays a huge role too. One of the strategies our foundation is spotlighting is the fortification of everyday foods like wheat, oil, and salt. This is a cost-effective way to avoid malnutrition and prevent health issues related to vitamin deficiencies —such as blindness in children, which is often caused by lack of Vitamin A.For just pennies, food processors can add essential vitamins to common foods, ensuring that even the most vulnerable populations get the nutrients they need. For example, in Ethiopia, adding extra nutrients to salt could eliminate nearly 75% of all deaths and stillbirths caused by neural tube defects.Looking ahead, I’m also excited about the next wave of tools, like those focused on restoring and maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. Within the next decade, with continued cross-sector collaboration, these tools will be accessible to women and children in more countries and drive further progress in reducing preventable deaths. Focus 2030 : Many developed countries, including France, Germany or the US, are reducing or cutting development aid despite growing needs and escalating humanitarian and environmental crises. In this context, philanthropic organizations now play a stronger role in addressing global challenges. What are your expectations for the upcoming N4G Summit in Paris on March 27-28, 2025, and how do you envision your foundation contributing to its success?Anita Zaidi : I can’t ignore the tough funding climate right now. It’s deeply concerning to see what’s happening in countries where health and nutrition services—both emergency and routine—have come to a halt due to deprioritization and lack of resources.Nutrition for Growth couldn’t be happening at a more urgent time. I’ll be joining France, a key global health donor and partner, but also other philanthropies, UN agencies, NGOs and other development partners to take stock of what needs to happen to make better nutrition a reality for women and children everywhere. I will make a clear case to fellow donors that now, more than ever, we need to keep funding life-saving nutrition and child health programs—these are some of the best investments we can make toward global security and prosperity. The stakes are higher than ever, and millions of lives are on the line.The Gates Foundation remains committed to continuing to fund vital nutrition and life-saving interventions for children. Sadly, while philanthropy plays an important role, no single foundation—or even a group of foundations—can match the scale, workforce, expertise, or leadership that major bilateral donors bring to the table. These partners are absolutely critical.This year, as we celebrate the 25 years of progress at the Gates Foundation, we do so with a strong commitment to the work ahead. The strides we’ve made together with our partners serve as a foundation for even greater impact in the future. Let’s continue building on this momentum—championing health, equity, and opportunity for all. NB : The opinions expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus 203

            [text] => The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this international summit, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.  Three questions to Maguette Beye, Program director, Helen Keller IntlFocus 2030 : Helen Keller International works in some twenty countries around the world to fight malnutrition. You are in charge of the nutrition program in Senegal. What are the main nutritional challenges facing the country today?Maguette Beye : Senegal has made significant progress in the fight against malnutrition, thanks to the development of a nutrition policy, notably through the Plan Stratégique Multisectoriel de la Nutrition (PSMN) and the establishment of the Conseil National de Développement de la Nutrition (CNDN), making nutrition a national priority. However, despite these advances, the country still faces a number of nutritional challenges, exacerbated by geographical and socio-economic disparities.One of the main nutritional challenges is child malnutrition, particularly stunting, which affects around 18% of under-five children nationwide. However, this rate conceals significant regional inequalities. For example, the regions of Kaffrine (28.4%), Matam (25.3%), Sédhiou (24.5%) and Tambacounda (23.5%) record rates above the acceptable threshold of 20%.Acute malnutrition is also a major challenge in Senegal, affecting 10% of children under five nationwide. However, some regions face much higher rates, above the critical threshold of 15%, such as Matam (22.2%), Tambacounda (17.8%) and Diourbel (17.1%, 2023 Demographic and Health Survey). This acute malnutrition is largely due to food insecurity, as well as a lack of appropriate feeding practices and quality essential childcare.Another major aspect in the fight against acute malnutrition in Senegal is the insufficient coverage of nutrition interventions.Although policies have been put in place and programs developed, their scope remains limited due to the poor coverage of nutrition services in many regions.Interventions such as screening for acute malnutrition and treatment of malnourished children do not always reach hard-to-reach areas, due to distance, lack of human resources, insufficient nutritional products (RUTF) and inadequate logistics.In addition, there are missed opportunities for health workers and community actors to deliver essential nutritional services. Community workers, often on the front line, do not always have the necessary skills or sufficient motivation to properly deliver nutrition services. This situation leads to a deficit in nutritional care for children and pregnant and breastfeeding women, increasing the risk of malnutrition and deficiencies in these populations.In addition to acute malnutrition and stunted growth in children, micronutrient deficiencies and undernutrition in pregnant women remain major concerns. Micronutrient deficiencies, particularly in vitamin A, iron, folic acid and zinc, seriously affect the health of vulnerable populations. Anemia, for example, affects a large percentage of children and women, exacerbating the country’s nutritional challenges.Senegal is also faced with dependence on rain-fed agriculture, exposing food production to climatic variations. Rapid urbanization and changes in eating habits, notably with the growing consumption of processed foods, are further aggravating the country’s nutritional situation. This transformation in eating habits and the vulnerability of agriculture to climate are determining factors in the persistence of malnutrition in Senegal. Focus 2030 : How does Helen Keller International contribute to the fight against malnutrition? What are the main projects you are implementing to improve the nutritional situation of the population in Senegal? Maguette Beye : In Senegal, Helen Keller Intl is implementing an approach based on solid evidence and strategic priorities identified in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Action (MSAS). This approach is based on five key, high-impact, life-saving actions, with the aim of bringing essential nutrition services to around 1 million children under the age of five, as well as their mothers/caregivers and pregnant women in five regions. The first action is multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) for pregnant women. This intervention aims to address specific micronutrient deficiencies and reduce the risk of complications during pregnancy, prevent anemia and improve maternal and child health. This intervention is currently being introduced in Senegal. Promoting exclusive breastfeeding is the second priority action. Helen Keller Intl supports the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding (only 34% of mothers breastfeed exclusively in Senegal) by raising awareness among pregnant women and mothers of the benefits of breastfeeding for infant growth and development in five regions of Senegal. Then, we focus on optimal complementary nutrition for young children. Helen Keller Intl supports the MSAS in setting up a draft decree to regulate the promotion and marketing of foods for infants and young children. It also supports families in implementing adequate feeding practices from 6 months, encouraging the introduction of diversified, nutrient-rich complementary foods (such as infant flours with a diversity of cereals and legumes), and the distribution of SQ_LNS in vulnerable areas. The fourth action consists of vitamin A supplementation for children aged 6 to 59 months. This intervention aims to reduce infant and child mortality by 24%. Helen Keller Intl is supporting MSAS to strengthen the provision of vitamin A supplementation in routine services at health facility and community level to reach 80% of children. Finally, Helen Keller Intl implements early detection and treatment of acute malnutrition, with a focus on the community level through the PECMAS_com program. This program aims to improve the early identification of cases of acute malnutrition in children, and to ensure rapid and appropriate treatment. It works closely with health workers and community health workers to strengthen their capacity to detect and effectively treat children suffering from moderate and severe acute malnutrition (without complications), guaranteeing rigorous follow-up and appropriate medical care. 80,000 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition are targeted in this four-year program.Through these five strategic actions, Helen Keller Intl strives to strengthen nutritional care in Senegal by supporting the MSAS, while increasing the scope and effectiveness of interventions at community and health facility level.Helen Keller Intl also works with the CNDN in the food system, accompanying and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the production of improved supplementary foods (23 SMEs targeted), as well as strengthening the large-scale fortification of micronutrient-rich foods (oil with vitamin A and soft wheat flour with iron/folic acid) and identifying potential vehicles. Focus 2030 : On March 27 and 28, France will host the Nutrition for Growth summit, offering a unique opportunity to advance the fight against malnutrition on a global scale. As a player in the field, what are your expectations of this event? What commitments do you feel are essential to reinforce the effectiveness of the fight against malnutrition worldwide?Maguette Beye : First of all, one of my main expectations of this summit is that it mobilizes sustainable and sufficient funding for nutrition programs. This funding must focus not only on high-impact interventions, but also on extending nutritional services, to effectively reach the most vulnerable communities and guarantee equity.In addition, several commitments made by Senegal are essential to reinforce the effectiveness of the fight against malnutrition. These include: Ensure essential nutrition co

            [text] => The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this international summit, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.  Three questions to Dr Sania Nishtar, Chief Executive Officer of Gavi, the Vaccine AllianceFocus 2030 : Nutrition and immunization are closely linked, as shown by a recent joint research between Gavi and the Eleanor Crook Foundation. Could you indicate why addressing both simultaneously can be considered as a potential game-changer for global health?Dr Sania Nishtar : As minister for social protection in my home country of Pakistan, I instituted a nationwide conditional cash transfer programme called Ehsaas Nashonuma which combined health and nutrition interventions for children from poor families. Through this programme I saw firsthand the impact that could be created on the ground through taking a holistic approach to immunisation and nutrition.Malnutrition weakens immune systems, making children more vulnerable to infections, while infectious diseases further deplete nutritional reserves, perpetuating a cycle of poor health. Addressing immunisation and nutrition together is not just an opportunity—it is a necessity.A growing body of evidence highlights the physiological interactions between malnutrition and infectious diseases. Malnourished children are less responsive to vaccines as their immune systems struggle to mount an effective response. Conversely, immunization prevents infections that exacerbate malnutrition, such as diarrheal diseases and measles. This interplay underscores why integrating these interventions can be a game-changer in global health. By ensuring that a child is well-nourished, we are also strengthening the impact of vaccines, giving every child a better chance to survive and thrive.There is clearly a strong link between the delivery of immunisation and nutrition programmes on the ground. Frontline health workers frequently deliver both services together, leveraging the same community platforms, supply chains, and touchpoints. What we are looking to do now is to ensure efficient delivery of services, systematic documentation and scaling of these efforts. Gavi, with support from the Gavi Matching Fund and alongside partners such as the Eleanor Crook Foundation, the Aga Khan Foundation, the Child Nutrition Fund, and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, is working to build the evidence base for integrated immunisation and nutrition programmes, demonstrating the operational efficiencies, cost savings, and most importantly, the improved health outcomes this approach can bring.By using routine immunisation visits as opportunities to screen and treat malnutrition, we can maximize every interaction a child has with the health system. Similarly, nutrition programs can serve as entry points for immunization catch-up efforts, ensuring that no child is left behind especially in the hardest to reach geographies. This integration not only optimizes resources but also strengthens primary healthcare (PHC) systems, making them more resilient and responsive to the needs of communities.The journey to build evidence for this approach is well underway. Research commissioned by Gavi and the Eleanor Crook Foundation highlights the potential of integrated programming to enhance both vaccine efficacy and nutritional outcomes. Reports such as Results UK’s Bridging the Gap further reinforce how breaking down silos can drive impact at scale. And Gavi is co-funding alongside partners a growing portfolio of projects, pilots and models to confirm the hypothesis that co-delivery reaches more zero-dose children than if EPI services (Expanded Programme on Immunization) were delivered alone.As we look ahead to our next strategic cycle with a focus on PHC integration, Gavi and our partners are committed to unlocking the full potential of immunisation by aligning it with complementary health interventions, particularly nutrition. Together, we can accelerate progress towards a world where every child, no matter where they are born, is protected against disease and has the foundation for a healthy future. This is not just smart programming—it is an imperative for global health equity. Focus 2030 : Could you please detail initiatives Gavi is currently supporting that integrate the link between nutrition and immunization to improve overall health outcomes? What are the impacts observed in the field and the remaining challenges that would need to be considered?Dr Sania Nishtar : At Gavi, we recognise that integrating immunisation and nutrition is critical to improving child health. By addressing these challenges holistically, we maximize impact. One of the funding levers which Gavi has used for integrating nutrition and immunisation has been through the Gavi Matching Fund, generously supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), and the Government of the Netherlands. This in turn has been instrumental in attracting philanthropic funding and fostering multi-sectoral partnerships to advance health systems integrated programmes.In Nigeria, the \$2 million Nutrivax initiative, co-funded with the Eleanor Crook Foundation (ECF), is generating evidence on how nutrition services can drive vaccine demand and uptake. By identifying gaps and opportunities, we aim to optimise the way immunisation and nutrition services are delivered together.In Indonesia, Gavi, Unilever Lifebuoy, and The Power of Nutrition have joined forces to reach over one million children under five, integrating immunisation, nutrition education, and handwashing programs with a highly innovative digital campaign bringing all three sectors under one umbrella messaging around family health.In Ethiopia, Gavi, the Child Nutrition Fund and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) have committed \$30 million to reach 100,000 zero-dose children through the co-delivery of nutrition and immunisation beyond routine programming. Integration is also happening in humanitarian settings as we have witnessed through the REACH programme implemented by IRC.Early results are promising. In Ethiopia, we have reached over 55,000 zero-dose children and are on track to reach the “100,000 target” by end of the year, particularly in pastoralist and nomadic communities, where any touchpoint, whether from social workers, self-help groups or midwives, is a moment to deliver life-saving services. However, challenges remain. Health system silos, fragmented financing, and limited joint data analysis with a child-centred approach hinders effective documentation and efficient referrals to avoid relapses and incomplete immunisation. Many frontline health workers already deliver both immunisation and nutrition services, yet these efforts require stronger data integration, policy alignment and sustained funding to be systematically integrated.Under Gavi 6.0, our Primary Health Care (PHC) integration framework will drive co-service delivery across multiple sectors, including nutrition, based on country needs. Collaborating and joining forces with nutrition platforms is one of the levers with which Gavi is reaching the hardest to reach populations to ensure there are no missed opportunities.By 2030 Gavi will facilitate 1.4 billion individual contact points between families and health services. This will require integrating immunisation more deeply into primary healthcare – working tirelessly alongside new and existing partners in new ways to strengthen health systems, reach more women and zero dose children in the spirit of the Lusaka Agenda. Focus 2030 : Gavi’s next replenishment will occur on the same year as the Nutrition for Growth Summit, which will take place on March 27 and 28 in Paris. How can these two major fundraising events be connected to address both the critical issues of nutrition and immunisation

            [descriptif] => Adeline Lescanne, Managing Director of Nutriset Group, presents 'RUTF' (Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food) which revolutionized the treatment of severe acute malnutrition worldwide.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] =>        The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this international summit, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.      3 questions to Adeline Lescanne, Managing Director of Nutriset GroupFocus 2030 : In the 1980s, Michel Lescanne, an agricultural engineer, decided to devote his research to designing nutritional products for malnourished children. In 1986, he founded Nutriset to produce and distribute them. Since then, Nutriset has revolutionized the treatment of severe acute malnutrition worldwide, developing the very first RUTF (Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food), Plumpy’Nut. Can you tell us more about this flagship product?Adeline Lescanne, Managing Director of the Nutriset Group : The arrival of this ready-to-use paste product, rich in proteins, vitamins and micronutrients, in the mid-1990s, can be described as a “revolution”. Prior to its launch, doctors and nurses treating the most severely malnourished children had access to nutritional solutions such as F-100 and F-75 therapeutic milks, which we had developed a few years earlier in collaboration with teams of international nutritionists. But these treatments were very complicated to administer and, most importantly, had to be used with drinking water, which was not always easy. Children had to be hospitalized for weeks at a time, and a large staff was needed to monitor them and feed them every four hours. Families, especially mothers, often refused to be separated from their children.The turning point came in 1994, during the Rwandan genocide. In the refugee camps in the DRC, humanitarian workers were forced to leave the nutrition centers at night. When doctors and nurses returned in the morning, it was to count the dead. We had to think of a different, ready-to-use formula.Plumpy’Nut, used directly by children at home, became a real success, surpassing even the protocols for its use, quickly validated by the World Health Organization.Plumpy’Nut, and the products derived from it, made it possible to strengthen the nutritional autonomy of patients and their families, as well as of countries where malnutrition was rife.Aid workers treated more malnourished people, mothers regained an important role with their children, and governments were able to incorporate this easily distributed and locally produced treatment into their health policies.With the conception and implementation of Plumpy’Nut, we also witnessed another kind of revolution: collaboration between three sectors that had little or no experience of working together on a regular basis: the academic community, that of researchers in the field of nutrition, who developed formulas in line with the evolution of knowledge on the mechanisms of malnutrition; the then emerging humanitarian sector, which provided assistance to children in the complicated context of conflicts, population displacements, disasters and famines; and finally, the private sector, the corporate world, represented by Nutriset, which was able to develop, scale up and widely distribute the products conceived by scientists and required by humanitarians.Plumpy’Nut also became the symbol of a paradigm shift: the localization of production in the countries most affected by malnutrition. With investments upstream and downstream of the product, from the local production of the raw materials used in its composition (peanuts, soybeans and chickpeas) to the distribution systems set up to promote and strengthen nutritional autonomy for all. Focus 2030 : How has Nutriset’s creation of the PlumpyField network in 2005, which now includes 11 local entrepreneurs around the world, contributed to the fight against malnutrition? What needs is this network addressing?Adeline Lescanne : The PlumpyField Network has proven to be the key to developing nutritional autonomy. When Nutriset was founded in 1986, manufacturing in the countries most affected by malnutrition seemed an obvious choice. But it wasn’t that simple. In fact, it seemed counterintuitive at the time. The obstacles to achieving significant production volumes were considerable. The agro-industrial infrastructure in these countries was scarce and ill-suited to our products. The local supply of raw materials such as peanuts, milk and sugar remained highly uncertain, both in terms of quantities to be supplied and the guarantee of superior quality. The general underfunding of these countries’ economic sectors also did not encourage investment in the business sector. Finally, local governments were generally unmotivated to integrate nutrition into their health policies. Humanitarians themselves, both NGOs and UN agencies, were reluctant. While they understood the benefits of having Nutriset products available in close proximity to their programs, they had serious doubts about the ability to manufacture them locally to the required quality standards. Additionally, our own financial backers in France expressed their doubts. Why be so eager to create your own competition in the countries that are now your customers?We persevered because we believed that our products could be a lever for development in these countries if we could work with local entrepreneurs to add value to the entire value chain.Based on the franchise model, and with our technical and financial support, entrepreneurs in these countries were able to manufacture Nutriset products to the same required quality standards. Purchased by United Nations agencies such as UNICEF and the World Food Program, international and national NGOs, and governments themselves, our nutrition solutions could then be more widely distributed locally.Twenty years after its inception, the PlumpyField Network now helps to meet a very large proportion of the world’s annual demand for RUTF. It is a unique initiative and a sustainable model for thinking globally and acting locally. In the face of global warming, producing goods as close as possible to where they are needed, rather than shipping them from the Global North, significantly reduces the carbon footprint. Beyond job creation and the growth of economic activity, both upstream and downstream of the product, it also serves as a testing ground for plant-based raw materials, the development of tailored agro-industrial supply chains, and the implementation of innovative governance and service models.It’s also a wonderful human adventure that allows business leaders from Nigeria to India, from Burkina Faso to Haiti, from Madagascar to Sudan, from the United States to Ethiopia, and of course France, to talk to and help each other, to work in synergy for a common cause: the fight against all forms of malnutrition. Focus 2030 : To participate in the upcoming Nutrition for Growth Summit in Paris on March 27 and 28, companies like Nutriset must adhere to a number of particularly strict principles. Why has this framework been set up for the private sector? What can be done to ensure that more companies comply?Adeline Lescanne : To ensure credible and sustainable commitments, a rigorous framework has been established for all stakeholders participating in the Summit. Among these criteria, which include respect for human rights, UN sanctions, etc., several are specific to the agri-food industry: Fully comply with the Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes (the Code) for companies that manufacture, sell and promote breast-milk substitutes. Derive less than 40% of their sales or product portfolio from ultra-processed products high in fat, sugar and/or salt, as defined by a WHO nutrient profile model And for companies that market food and beverages, have policies in place not to advertise to children under the age of 18.In fact, these rules automatically exclude many 'Big Food' companies that are an integral part of the food system and have an undeniable nutritional impact. This framework is designed to avoid greenwashing b

            [text] =>  The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this crucial event, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.  Interview with Mandresy Randriamiharisoa, Managing Director of Nutri’zaza  Focus 2030 : Nutri’zaza stands out for its innovative approach to fighting malnutrition in Madagascar. Could you tell us about the company and explain your approach to combating malnutrition?Mandresy Randriamiharisoa, Managing Director of Nutri’zaza :  In Madagascar, child malnutrition is a scourge that still affects too many children. Faced with this public health emergency, Nutri’zaza was born in 2013 with a clear mission: to offer Malagasy children a suitable and accessible diet to guarantee their healthy growth. But Nutri’zaza is more than just a company: it’s a social enterprise that combines humanitarian commitments with a sustainable business model.The story began before 2013, with development projects to combat malnutrition, led by GRET and financed by the French Development Agency.  Building on the results obtained with the support of committed players such as TAF, SIDI, the APEM association and others, and aware of the limited sustainability of the projects, the initiative took on a new dimension: making access to quality food a reality for Malagasy children, regardless of their social background, through a social enterprise model.Nutri’zaza’s flagship product is Koba Aina, a local porridge fortified with micronutrients. Specifically designed to meet the needs of children aged 6 to 24 months, this porridge helps prevent chronic malnutrition by meeting children’s daily requirements. Other products adapted to other targets have also been launched, such as Pobary Aina, a fortified cereal bar for children over 3 years of age, and Moosli Aina, the first muesli-type product made in Madagascar, designed to cover the nutrient needs of children aged 6 and over.To guarantee maximum product availability, Nutri’zaza has set up 3 distribution networks to cover the entire country. Nutri’zaza has developed a unique network of hotelin-jazakely, literally restaurants for babies. These centers, located in vulnerable neighborhoods, offer ready-to-eat porridges at affordable prices. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s also a place for exchange and sharing. Coupled with this network, Nutri’zaza has a network of animators from these same vulnerable neighborhoods, to ensure the daily distribution of Koba Aina to each family.Secondly, to reach even more families, Nutri’zaza has also expanded its distribution. Today, through its traditional distribution network, its products are available in more than 8,200 outlets across Madagascar: small grocery stores, supermarkets, etc. The objective remains the same: to give every family easy access to a nutritious and appropriate diet.And finally, to reach the most isolated areas, Nutri’zaza, through partnerships with NGOs and associations, reaches thousands of children.This multi-network approach ensures real food inclusion. In the space of a decade, more than 105 million meals have been distributed, and the company now has some 273 employees working passionately every day for a future without malnutrition.Nutri’zaza’s slogan is “A social enterprise at the service of Malagasy children and families”, but far beyond the nutritional aspect, Nutri’zaza aims to help children and parents realize their dreams. Focus 2030 : What are the main nutritional challenges facing Madagascar today? What objectives has Nutri’zaza set itself to help meet these challenges?Mandresy Randriamiharisoa :  The main nutritional challenge facing Madagascar today is chronic child malnutrition. But it’s not the only one. In addition to taking many forms, malnutrition affects several areas such as child malnutrition per se, and problems such as anaemia, micronutrient deficiencies and food insecurity which affect a large part of the population, particularly the most vulnerable.Faced with this situation, Nutri’zaza has been committed for years to providing concrete, accessible solutions. In line with Madagascar’s National Nutrition Policy, which aims to reduce chronic malnutrition, improve access to quality food and raise families’ awareness of good nutritional practices, Nutri’zaza offers several solutions.Nutri’zaza’s approach is both simple and effective. Firstly, by developing fortified foods, adapted to the needs of children and the various targets of malnutrition, produced with local raw materials, respecting international and local standards of quality and nutrition, available everywhere, and above all at an affordable price, even for the most vulnerable.Nutri’zaza also relies on an innovative distribution network to reach families directly. The hotelin-jazakely, as mentioned in my previous answer, these small baby restaurants set up in disadvantaged neighborhoods, offer balanced meals to thousands of children every day. Added to this is door-to-door sales by local animators, who not only make the products available everywhere, but also raise families’ awareness of the importance of a balanced diet.Beyond nutrition, Nutri’zaza also plays an economic and social role.By employing over 275 people, 75% of whom are women, the company enables many families to earn a stable income. These women, often from the same neighborhoods as the beneficiaries, are trained in good nutritional practices and become essential relays for spreading awareness messages.Nutri’zaza’s objective for the coming years is ambitious, but achievable: to reach even more children and families by stepping up the distribution of fortified products, multiplying the number of hotelin-jazakely, offering a range of socially useful services in addition to nutrition, and innovating to meet the nutritional needs of Malagasy families ever more effectively.Madagascar will only be able to overcome malnutrition with sustainable and appropriate solutions, and Nutri’zaza, through its model, intends to be a key player in this fight. Focus 2030 : The Nutrition for Growth Summit, to be held in France in March 2025, aims to mobilize a wide range of stakeholders - governments, international organizations, civil society, the private sector and research - to make political and financial commitments to nutrition. What concrete commitments would you like to see made to combat malnutrition?Mandresy Randriamiharisoa :  The fight against malnutrition in Madagascar relies on a collective mobilization in which each player must play a complementary role.Members of the private sector such as Nutri’zaza, who are already contributing by producing and distributing fortified and enriched foods, cannot fully succeed in their commitments without strong support from the government and a dynamic of collaboration with other stakeholders.This support must be translated into commitments, which must be accompanied by an environment conducive to investment and innovation, but above all by transparency in management and governance. Concrete measures must be put in place to encourage the private sector, notably by facilitating access to financing, introducing tax incentives (such as tax exemption for mineral-vitamin supplements), reinforcing food fortification standards, and setting up control systems to avoid marketing effects with no social impact. Policies that encourage the integration of locally fortified nutritious products into public programs, such as school canteens and food security initiatives, are also essential to ensure large-scale impact.For these commitments to be translated into concrete results, a genuin

            [text] =>  The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this crucial event, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.  Interview with Andrimampionona Razakandrainy, Head of GRET Madagascar’s Nutrition and Health Program Focus 2030 : GRET has been fighting malnutrition in Madagascar for almost thirty years. What are the main nutritional challenges facing the country today? Andrimampionona Razakandrainy, Head of GRET Madagascar’s Nutrition and Health Program :  Malnutrition is a major public health problem in Madagascar. If we focus on chronic malnutrition - a condition caused by long-term nutritional deficiencies or illnesses and manifested by short stature relative to age - in children under 5, the most problematic, the national situation has evolved positively over the last 30 years. The prevalence of chronic malnutrition has fallen from almost 55% in 1992 to 40% in 2021. However, the situation remains alarming, and many challenges remain. Indeed, even for stunting, prevalence remains very high, and Madagascar is among the countries in the world with the highest number of affected children. The prevalence of underweight among young children also remains very high, particularly in the south of the country, where 15.2% of children are underweight according to the 2021 demographics and health survey (EDH). This is mainly due to recurrent food insecurity caused by climatic phenomena such as low rainfall and violent winds. In terms of micronutrient deficiency prevalence, the results of a national survey will be released shortly, but citing only iron deficiency, one child in two is anemic and one woman in four is anemic.The underlying and fundamental causes of malnutrition are very diverse in Madagascar. Beyond the quality, accessibility and use of health services, which are often problematic, multiple factors come into play. Here are just a few examples.Poor management of agricultural resources, with the result that it is farmers who are most often affected by food and nutritional insecurity during the lean season. This is a paradox, given that it is mainly in areas with very high agricultural production potential, such as the highlands, that the highest rates of chronic malnutrition are recorded: between 49 and 52% according to the 2021 demographics and health survey.Poor dietary practices, due both to a lack of knowledge and to the difficulty of changing bad behavior despite efforts to raise awareness of recommended practices. The Malagasy diet is generally unbalanced and lacking in variety, with a high carbohydrate content and very little intake of essential nutrients such as proteins, vitamins and minerals. To illustrate: only 20% of young children have access to an acceptable minimum food intake.What’s more, the nutritional quality of food products on the market is very often poor, while the financial access of poor households to good-quality food is limited. Focus 2030 :  What is GRET’s approach to helping fight malnutrition in Madagascar? What main projects have you developed or are you currently implementing to improve the nutritional situation of the Malagasy population?Andrimampionona Razakandrainy :  GRET’s intervention strategy aims to prevent the various forms of malnutrition in the long term. To achieve this, GRET advocates a global approach. It addresses both the immediate determinants of malnutrition - inadequate food intake and disease - and its underlying determinants - food insecurity, inappropriate care and feeding practices, inadequate access to resources and quality health services, and levels of education and social protection. For GRET, prevention and the mobilization of all sectors are key issues. It prioritizes specific actions to improve the diets and health of women and young children, priority targets.In Madagascar, two complementary and adapted approaches have been implemented: firstly, support for the health system in disseminating advice on good feeding practices to complement breast milk, particularly in the preparation of balanced meals; and secondly, support for the local private sector in the production and marketing of high-quality infant flours that are financially and geographically accessible to as many people as possible.GRET has carried out at least fifty projects and provided expertise in nutrition in Madagascar. Here are a few examples.In the 2000s, Nutrimad projects led to the development of a range of fortified infant flours, which are still on sale today: Koba Aina for the prevention of malnutrition, PECMAM flour for the treatment of children with moderate acute malnutrition, and Koba Tsinjo for a fortified snack for school-age children.In the south of the country, GRET has been running food aid and social safety net projects for several years, to help cope with food crises during lean periods. They comprise a package of activities including awareness-raising, in-kind food aid for vulnerable households, care for malnourished children and the provision of improved seeds to strengthen the population’s resilience.To address the issue of micronutrient deficiencies, a food fortification project for vulnerable urban populations was carried out from 2017 to 2021. It helped develop an innovative, multichannel awareness approach to promote more impactful behavior changes in favor of nutrition, as well as to develop and improve the availability of quality products for vulnerable groups and enhance regulatory frameworks for food fortification and standardization.Currently, Gret is primarily leading an integrated project to combat malnutrition, called 'Tambatra,' in alignment with the national multisectoral action plan for nutrition. It is also running a project called 'Aintsoa' to fight malnutrition and social and health inequalities in urban areas of Madagascar through a gender approach and social entrepreneurship, while developing various nutrition-sensitive activities such as urban agriculture and social services. Focus 2030 :  Focus 2030: In March 2025, France will host the Nutrition for Growth summit, which aims to strengthen global commitment in the fight against malnutrition. As a field actor, what are your expectations for this event? What commitments do you think are essential to enhance the effectiveness of the fight against malnutrition worldwide? Andrimampionona Razakandrainy : Commitments often remain at the level of speeches made by countries and stay political. However, field stakeholders are essential for the implementation of actions aimed at achieving these commitments.My expectations regarding the N4G summit are based on : The adoption of achievable and realistic commitments that address priority issues in line with the local contexts. The consideration, from the outset of the commitments, of the absolute need to regularly monitor their progress; Actions to give more space to field actors in the fight against malnutrition, both for their innovative and impactful actions and for their involvement in monitoring the commitments made by countries.In the case of Madagascar, the only programmatic commitment linked to the roadmap for the transformation of food systems, which includes a goal for diversified, healthy, and nutritious food, needs to be strengthened to meet the already ambitious impact commitments.Therefore, I propose placing greater emphasis on nutritious, safe, affordable, and sustainable diets, on local production, and on the contributions of public and private sector actors to advocate for policies, practices, and food products (whether commercial or not) that guarantee optimal nutrition for all children, all adolescents, and all women, in all contexts.In my opinion, to streng

            [text] =>  The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this crucial event, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.  Interview with William Moore, Executive Director of the Eleanor Crook FoundationFocus 2030 :  As a foundation with a singular focus on eradicating global malnutrition, what are the most cost-effective solutions you support in combating malnutrition? Are these solutions adequately scaled and accessible to the populations in greatest need? What steps can the international community take to further scale and expand these efforts?  William Moore, Executive Director of the Eleanor Crook Foundation : Each day around the world, thousands of children die of malnutrition. Malnutrition remains the number one killer of kids each year – it’s responsible for nearly half of all child deaths worldwide. For those who survive, malnutrition in the early years permanently stunts a child’s physical and cognitive development, wasting potential that the world desperately needs.It is hard to overstate the severity of the crisis. But, in a world full of severe, intractable crises, the thing that offers me hope is that in the case of malnutrition, there are solutions.We have decades of evidence that have given the world a roadmap to scale cost-effective, relatively simple health interventions that could effectively eradicate severe malnutrition.These are solutions like high-quality prenatal vitamins for women during pregnancy; support for a woman to breastfeed; supplementation with Vitamin A in early childhood; and treatment for severe malnutrition with a peanut-based therapeutic food known as Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food – or Plumpy’nut. Plumpy’nut was invented in France in the 1990s by a French pediatric nutritionist named André Briend.Johns Hopkins University estimates that bringing just those four interventions to scale in nine high burden countries could save 1.2 million lives over a five-year period, costing just about \$1500 per life saved.Right now, these best buys in global health and development are reaching very few of the women and kids around the world who need them most. There are many complex reasons for this unfortunate reality, but like many of the world’s big problems, it boils down to awareness, leadership, focus, and money.The international community must come together to increase sustainable funding for these cost-effective solutions. We also must advance policy reforms in national policies and global frameworks – and we have to continue to push for policy reforms. Finally, the international community must support country-led solutions. At the Eleanor Crook Foundation (ECF), we have partnered with the governments of Ghana, Senegal, and Nepal to scale malnutrition solutions that save lives. Focus 2030 :  In your view, how can we increase funding for malnutrition initiatives? What initiatives, mechanisms or partnerships should be strengthened or developed to enhance global investment in nutrition?  William Moore  : Malnutrition remains one of the most pressing global health challenges – and yet investments in high-impact, cost-effective solutions lag behind other development priorities.Governments, NGOs, and philanthropies must work collaboratively to ensure that nutrition-specific solutions are prioritized. Rather than diluting nutrition in a broader development agenda, we should be looking at the highest impact, most cost-effective solutions that are proven to reduce rates of malnutrition and save lives now.For example, an investment of \$1.1 billion over the next five years in a superior prenatal vitamin known as Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) could save over half a million lives, improve birth outcomes for more than five million babies, and prevent anemia – a largely hidden public health crisis – in over 15 million pregnant women. In some contexts, introducing MMS is among the very cheapest ways to save a life.  Prenatal multivitamins like MMS have been recognized as one of the best buys in global health. And yet despite all we know about how important good nutrition is during pregnancy for both a mother and her baby, maternal nutrition – and MMS – have been overlooked and underfunded.Additionally, targeted programs that treat children suffering from acute malnutrition should be on the top of every development agenda. We know that investing in solutions like these save lives; in fact, the New York Times that increased funding for Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food led to a 73% increase in coverage rates in 2023, for a total of 1.2 million children’s lives saved.Initiatives like the Child Nutrition Fund serve as a structured co-financing mechanism aimed at catalyzing funding for MMS and other essential nutrition solutions. Through this funding mechanism, governments have the opportunity to double their investments in scalable nutrition interventions like MMS and RUTF, leveraging donor contributions to increase coverage and save more lives. Focus 2030 : The next N4G Summit will be hosted by France in Paris on March 27-28. How can the international community leverage this momentum to drive meaningful action at the upcoming Summit? What role will the Eleanor Crook Foundation play in advancing these efforts? William Moore  : The Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit in Paris presents a critical opportunity for the international community to drive collective action in addressing malnutrition. And at N4G, we urge other public and private donors to join the Eleanor Crook Foundation and commit to re-focusing their resources to scale up the most proven, cost-effective solutions. At a time when resources are scarce, we must focus our efforts on the solutions that are the most cost-effective and proven.To scale up life-saving solutions like prenatal multivitamins, it’s essential that governments and donors join philanthropies in making investments that will tackle this pervasive and solvable global problem. At the summit, Eleanor Crook Foundation will be making an important announcement of a catalytic contribution towards this effort.It is worth nothing that malnutrition is one of humankind’s oldest and most pervasive problems. We’re living in the year 2025; we’re a quarter of the way through the 21st century. There are technological advancements that our grandparents never dreamed we’d have. And yet we still haven’t solved this problem, even when we have the tools and solutions to address it. Around the world, millions of children are dying of a preventable cause. This should concern us all – both because it is a great tragedy, and because it impacts global stability, peace, and migration. As long as thousands of children die from malnutrition each day, we will never have a peaceful world.  NB : The opinions expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus 2030.

            [text] =>        The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this crucial event, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.      Interview with Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health OrganizationFocus 2030 : The world is off track in meeting the global nutrition goals set for 2025 under the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition, a global initiative led by the WHO and FAO to address nutrition challenges. According to the WHO, what are the biggest barriers to fighting malnutrition?Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization. : The biggest barriers to fighting malnutrition include conflict, climate change, poverty, gender discrimination, food insecurity and rising food prices. In 2023, an estimated 1 in 11 people worldwide, or 733 million, faced hunger due to conflicts and global economic challenges. This number rose to 1 in 5 in Africa. At the same time, the availability of cheap and highly processed foods, high in fat, sugar and salts combined with declining physical activity is fueling a growing obesity epidemic.In fragile and conflict-affected areas, where populations face an acute or chronic hunger crisis, we see high rates of childhood stunting and wasting. This is driven by a lack of adequate nutrition during the first 1.000 days from conception to two years of age. A lack of breastfeeding, which delivers critical antibodies and nutrition to infants during the first months of life, often fuels this. Exclusive breastfeeding rates globally have risen from 37% in 2012 to 48% in 2022. But little progress has been made in reducing low birth weight, which remains stagnant at nearly 15%. A lack of access to iron-rich foods has also contributed to a rise in anaemia among women, reaching 30% in 2019. In many low- and middle-income countries, we now see a double burden of malnutrition, with both undernutrition and rising overweight and obesity rates.This is largely driven by urbanization, globalization and income growth coupled with a shift in the quality and quantity of diets during recent decades. Limited access to healthy and affordable food options in these environments contributes to an over-reliance on processed foods, especially among young or underserved populations. This can lead to micronutrient deficiencies and develop into a range of noncommunicable diseases over people’s lives, such as diabetes, heart disease and hypertension.The Global Nutrition Targets have been instrumental in the fight against malnutrition. While strong progress has been made, WHO has proposed extending the 2025 targets to 2030. For indicators such as stunting, anaemia, low birth weight and wasting, continued action is needed to achieve meaningful progress. For targets nearing achievement, such as exclusive breastfeeding and childhood overweight, efforts should focus on accelerating progress with a goal of increasing exclusive breastfeeding rates during the first 6 months of life to 60% and reducing childhood overweight to below 5%.Focus 2030 : How does the WHO work to overcome these barriers and support the fight against malnutrition? Which solutions should be prioritized? Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus :   As the leading scientific and normative agency on global public health, WHO works with technical experts to develop guidelines, frameworks and tools that support countries to overcome these barriers.Prioritized solutions include guidance on nutrition labelling that clearly indicates the nutritional content of food. Given the transition towards prepackaged food, labelling is not only a communication tool but also a valuable marketing asset to influence decision-making. WHO has also prioritized guidance on fiscal policies to promote healthy diets. This includes policies that discourage the consumption of unhealthy foods – such as a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages – and encourage consuming healthier foods through subsidies and other means. The development, implementation, monitoring and enforcement of these policies should be government-led with a whole-of-society approach.In addition, WHO collaborates with other UN agencies to assist countries in fighting malnutrition.Key initiatives include the Global Action Plan on Child Wasting, the Anaemia Action Alliance, the Acceleration Plan to Stop Obesity and the Global Breastfeeding Collective.Together, these initiatives convene a diverse group of stakeholders to address a specific area of overweight or undernutrition, fostering multisectoral action and engaging civil society organizations to drive meaningful progress.All forms of malnutrition are preventable. To tackle malnutrition at its root, children and their families must have access to safe and nutritious diets, essential health services and positive nutrition practices.Ending malnutrition requires a multisectoral approach, integrating nutrition into food, health, and social protection systems.The latter includes social safety nets such as cash and food transfer programs that break the vicious cycle of poverty and malnutrition that persists in many parts of the world.Focus 2030 : On March 27-28, 2025, France will host the next N4G Summit, presenting a crucial opportunity to advance the global fight against malnutrition. What are the WHO’s expectations for this event, and what commitments does your organization intend to put forward? Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus :  WHO’s expectations for the Nutrition for Growth Summit are to hear bold and decisive political and financial commitments to fight malnutrition. WHO has been actively working with the Government of France to prepare for the Summit, and anticipates that these commitments will be essential to accelerate progress towards the extended Global Nutrition Targets and related SDGs by 2030.Historically, the Nutrition for Growth Summits have been instrumental to advance global efforts in combatting malnutrition. The 2021 Tokyo Summit alone resulted in 396 new nutrition commitments from 181 stakeholders across 78 countries, with over US \$27 billion pledged by donor governments and organizations for nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensiti

            [text] => The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this crucial event, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, key public figures and experts working in the field of nutrition. On March 27 and 28, France will be hosting the Nutrition for Growth Summit, a high-level meeting designed to mobilize the international community in the fight against the root causes of malnutrition.In this context, Focus 2030 commissioned a survey from the YouGov institute as part of the Development Engagement Lab action-research project led by UCL and Birmingham University. This opinion poll was carried out online between February 27 and March 5, 2025, among a sample of 1,001 adults representative of the French population, using the quota method (margin of error ±2%).The survey shows that the French, despite their imperfect knowledge of the problems and causes of malnutrition, expect France to support the fight against this scourge, both in France and in the rest of the world.69% of French people are in favor of maintaining or increasing France’s financial commitment to the global fight against malnutrition.While the French are particularly pessimistic about the international community’s ability to eradicate malnutrition by 2030, as it has pledged to do, they are counting on international organizations, governments and NGOs to address this global challenge, which is responsible for half of the deaths of children under the age of five worldwide.The results of this opinion poll underscore the essential role that companies play in improving the supply of and access to healthy, high-quality food, and justify holding them accountable for progress or setbacks toward a world free of malnutrition.What malnutrition means to the FrenchWhen asked an open-ended question about what they understand by the term “malnutrition”, respondents demonstrated a certain level of awareness of the issue,spontaneously stating that it encompassed both the quantity of food available to the greatest number, and the nutritional quality of the food available. The link between poverty, inequality, geographical disparities and the most vulnerable populations, namely children, also came to mind. Definition : According to the WHO, malnutrition in all its forms includes undernutrition (wasting, stunting, underweight), vitamin or mineral deficiencies, overweight, obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases. The major global challenge that worries the French the most : the possibility of global conflictAsked in the midst of the turmoil caused by Donald Trump’s statements and the United States’ reversal on Ukraine, respondents ranked war and conflict, climate change, the state of the global economy and access to healthcare among the major global challenges that concern them the most.Hunger and malnutrition ranked 5th, demonstrating a continued awareness of the issue without necessarily being linked to a “hot” news story. The French and the causes of world hunger : fairly accurate perceptionsWhile the French are particularly concerned about conflict, they also rightly see conflict as the main cause of world hunger. Lack of access to water and lack of political will on the part of governments are among the second and third main causes of hunger respectively.Although the lack of ethical commitment on the part of agri-food companies ranks last in the list of causes of malnutrition, respondents appear to be aware of the sector’s potential negative externalities, as evidenced by their willingness to boycott companies with harmful practices (see question on modes of engagement below). France’s commitment to combating malnutrition worldwide : a clear public aspirationIn the run-up to the Nutrition for Growth Summit, which aims to secure political and financial commitments to combat malnutrition, the French seem to have chosen which side they are on.Despite the current economic climate, 69% of French people say they are in favor of maintaining or increasing France’s financial commitment to fight malnutrition worldwide. Only 16% are opposed. Like in other countries, fighting malnutrition is important in FranceOn a domestic scale, the French also favor, in similar proportions, increasing or maintaining financial commitments for this issue. Only 10% favor a decrease. Lack of awareness of the extent of malnutrition worldwideTo grasp the level of public knowledge, half the panel was asked about the proportion of countries affected by malnutrition worldwide, while the other half was asked about the number of countries with overweight and obese populations.The French underestimate the extent of malnutrition worldwide When asked about the prevalence of malnutrition worldwide, only 8% of the panel considered that all countries  are affected, and 22% that most countries are concerned. In fact, malnutrition - in all its forms - affects every country in the world, regardless of wealth. Undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are particularly prevalent in developing countries, while overweight and obesity are more prevalent in industrialized countries. However, these two trends are now converging in a growing number of countries, giving rise to the “double burden” of malnutrition. Awareness of the global prevalence of overweight and obesityWhen it comes to overweight and obesity worldwide, the French are aware of the global nature of these two issues : 86% believe that one in two country, or more, is concerned. In fact, overweight and obesity are health problems that are affecting more and more countries around the world, but their prevalence varies considerably according to region, country and socio-economic group.A recent study published in The Lancet reveals that this public health issue is progressing rapidly. According to IHME projections, obesity and overweight could affect more than half of adults (60%) and one third of children and adolescents by 2050.Do the French believe that it is impossible to eradicate malnutrition by 2030 ?73% of respondents said they were rather pessimistic (49%) or very pessimistic (24%) about the international community’s ability to eradicate malnutrition by 2030, i.e. to achieve the nutrition-related target of Sustainable Development Goal 2 on the fight against hunger. In fact, the world is not on track to meet SDG 2, and the state of nutrition worldwide is a cause for concern. The United Nations estimates that more than 600 million people worldwide will be suffering from hunger by 2030, while obesity could affect 1.2 billion adults worldwide in 2030, compared with 880 mill

            [text] =>  EditorialThe reinstatement of the “Global Gag Rule” by the new US administration, banning all public funding for international NGOs working on abortion access and information, is a stark reminder that gender equality remains a global struggle, fragile and constantly called into question.While the international community pledged to achieve gender equality by 2030, successive crises - armed conflicts, democratic setbacks, climate change, and now drastic cuts in official development assistance – are threatening what little progress has been made and exacerbating inequalities.Between 2019 and 2022, nearly 40% of the world’s countries, representing a population of more than a billion women and girls, experienced stagnation or regression in terms of gender equality.At the current rate of progress, it will take another 300 years to achieve gender equality on a global scale. This is the sobering conclusion of the UN.The rollback of women’s rights in many countries is the result of a historic reversal - what some have called a “global backlash” - orchestrated and funded by conservative governments and increasingly influential anti-rights movements.Just a few months into 2025, we have seen a series of unprecedented setbacks, particularly affecting sexual and reproductive health and rights, and consequently the very ability of women and girls to take charge of their own lives. This complete reversal is an all-out assault on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the deadline approaches, their achievement is more at risk than ever.“Stop talking, start funding !”, was the rallying call of feminist movements at the Generation Equality Forum held in France and Mexico back in 2021. Four years on, the moment of reckoning has arrived, and funding for gender equality has failed to materialize.As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, this ambitious action plan is more than ever in jeopardy.This Focus 2030 special report takes a look at the current state of women’s rights around the world, while highlighting the resistance and initiatives of those fighting to make equality a reality. Unmute Contents- Gender inequality : the challenge in key facts and figures - Looking ahead to CSW69 and assessing progress over the past 30 years - Funding the fight : persistent underfunding for gender equality worldwide- The global state of sexual and reproductive health and rights in the age of backlash- A polarized world : reactionary international forces vs. Feminist foreign policy ?- Exclusive interviews with leading experts on gender inequality Gender inequality : the challenge in key facts and figures 👆 Back to topLooking ahead to CSW69 and assessing progress over the past 30 yearsThe 69th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) will be held in New York from March 10 to 21, 2025. This session marks the 30th anniversary of the 1995 World Conference on Women (Beijing+30). On this occasion, the international community will evaluate the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, while identifying the current obstacles to the full achievement of gender equality and women’s empowerment.France sent a delegation of 22 MPs and Senators to New York to participate in the CSW69, in a context marked by the right to abortion being enshrined in the French Constitution a year ago, but also by the reactivation of the Global Gag Rule, which suspends US funding for SRHR. 👆 Back to top Funding the fight : persistent underfunding for gender equality worldwideWhich donor countries support gender equality in their official development assistance ?In 2015, all countries committed to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, including SDG 5, dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls worldwide. Adequate funding, especially in the poorest countries, is critical to achieving this.Official Development Assistance (ODA) from the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) is an essential source of funding in this regard. Between 2022 and 2023, the 31 DAC donor countries and the EU have pledged to allocate an average of \$68 billion per year to this goal, or 45.7% of their bilateral ODA. Of this amount, \$5.7 billion has been earmarked for projects that have gender equality as a primary objective, and \$62.9 billion for projects that make a significant contribution to it. In terms of volume, the top donors of ODA for gender equality are also thetop donors of total ODA (Germany, Japan, USA, France, Canada).However, no country has reached the international target of directing at least 85% of its ODA to gender equality, although the Netherlands comes close at 84.7%. Only the Netherlands and Spain devote at least 20% of their ODA to the direct promotion of equality.  🔗 Find out more about ODA to support gender equalityFeminist organizations : leading the charge, but lacking financial supportIn spite of their crucial role, feminist organizations receive only \$0.6 billion in support per year, which is less than 1% of the official development assistance dedicated to gender equality. In 2023, the total amount allocated by OECD DAC members to feminist organizations and movements was \$645 million. France joined the group of major donors to feminist organizations in 2019, the year it launched its support fund for feminist organizations, providing \$132 million in 2021-2022, replenished for the following five years at 250 million euros. Between 2022 and 2023, France allocated an average of \$97 million to feminist organizations and movements worldwide.

            [text] => As part of its special edition on the state of inequality in the world in 2025, Focus 2030 wants to put forward the stakeholders who work to help achieve gender equality on a daily basis.   3 questions to Delphine O, Ambassador and General Secretary of the Generation Equality ForumFocus 2030 : In 2019, France adopted a feminist foreign policy and has since launched several actions in favor of gender equality on the international stage, including co-organizing the Generation Equality Forum in 2021. Today, at least 15 countries have formally adopted a feminist foreign policy. Could you tell us what the main priorities of French feminist foreign policy are, and what concrete initiatives have been taken to promote women’s rights around the world ? Delphine O : After announcing its adoption in 2019, France is adopting this year an International Strategy for feminist foreign policy - a reference document that defines the strategic framework, priorities and means of implementing our feminist foreign policy.The strategy is based on five pillars :reaffirming our historical priorities, in particular the fight against gender-based violence and for sexual and reproductive health and rightsstrengthening feminist foreign policy in multilateral forums (G7, G20, UN, OECD, etc.) to counter the reactionary backlashcontinuing to invest in gender equality, in particular by providing financial support to feminist movementsmainstreaming gender equality in major global issues : the fight against climate change, digital regulation, trade agreements, etc.and promoting a feminist approach as a prerequisite for peace and security.To achieve these five priorities, we have adopted a new method, with inter-ministerial coordination and an ambition to transform the institutional culture internally, ensuring that all diplomats take ownership of this feminist foreign policy.The initiatives launched since 2019 are numerous : Global Fund for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence with Dr. Mukwege, Marianne Initiative for Human Rights, Support Fund for feminist organizations (which has provided funding for more than 1,400 organizations in 73 countries, making France the world’s leading donor to feminist NGOs), and most recently, the Laboratory for Women’s Rights Online, the first multilateral platform to combat sexual and gender-based cyber-violence.It’s also about ensuring that we integrate a gender perspective into all areas of diplomacy. For example, as part of the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit held in Paris in February, we pushed for the adoption of the first international declaration for the integration of a gender perspective in the governance, modeling and implementation of AI. Focus 2030 : In a context marked by the rise of increasingly organized and funded conservative movements targeting the rights of women and sexual minorities, how can countries pursuing a feminist foreign policy structure an effective diplomatic response ? What alliances and strategies can be developed to ensure that these rights are protected and strengthened in the face of such opposition ? Delphine O : Above all, it’s about building coalitions of like-minded players, on every continent, to block the backlash. The diplomatic response to the backlash from conservative countries in multilateral forums, to their systematic attempts to unravel the 'agreed language' of UN resolutions, requires better anticipation in negotiations, and the establishment of strong stances in the face of obstruction/red lines from the opposing parties. There is also a need for more training for diplomats at all levels, especially in permanent missions to international organizations (New York, Geneva, etc.), including diplomats who are not used to negotiating gender issues.The response is also based on close consultation with our 'allies' (those we know we can count on to defend women’s rights and with whom we regularly vote at the UN), but also on seeking allies among other, perhaps less obvious, countries. Over the years, we have patiently built relationships with small and medium-sized countries that have no interest in seeing the multilateral system or the existing set of international texts on women’s rights collapse. We continue to strengthen and diversify these alliances as governments and policies change in order to ensure a majority in international forums. Focus 2030 : After Mexico, Germany and the Netherlands, France is about to host an international conference on feminist foreign policy. What are the major challenges and expected outcomes ? How can we maintain a strong international mobilization at a time when certain States, historically committed to women’s rights, now seem to be disengaging under the combined effect of changes in political orientation and budget cuts affecting funding for gender equality worldwide ? Delphine O : France will host the fourth edition of the Conference on Feminist Foreign Policy, following Germany (2022), the Netherlands (2023) and Mexico (2024). These conferences are essential moments of mobilization for women’s rights, bringing together far more than the fifteen or so countries that have officially adopted feminist diplomacy. More than 700 participants attended the conference in The Hague, while 40 government delegations attended the conference in Mexico City.In an international context of setbacks for women’s rights and unprecedented attacks on the international texts that protect them, France intends to make this 4th Conference a platform for mobilization and advocacy to give visibility to countries and stakeholders committed to gender equality and multilateralism. Together with the participating countries, we will 'push back against the push back' with a strong voice, sending a clear signal : women’s rights are non-negotiable, and we will continue to defend the universal rights of women and girls together. We would also like to explore the possibility of stakeholders making collective commitments at the conference.To this end, we will invite those States that have historically been committed to women’s rights, urging them to renew their political and financial commitments despite budget cuts, as well as a number of States that have been less involved in these conferences, less visible, but which nonetheless defend multilateral texts, and the progress made in recent decades.NB : The opinions expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the ideas of Focus 2030.

            [title] => 3 questions to Neil Datta, Executive Director and Founder, European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights
            [title_question] => 
            [date] => 07/03/2025

            [text] => As part of its special edition on the state of inequality in the world in 2025, Focus 2030 wants to put forward the stakeholders who work to help achieve gender equality on a daily basis. The European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights a network of Members of Parliament throughout Europe who are committed to protecting the sexual and reproductive rights (SRHR) of all people, both at home and overseas. Interview with Neil Datta, Executive Director and Founder of the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights Focus 2030 : In your 2021 report, 'Tip of the Iceberg : Religious Extremist Funders against Human Rights for Sexuality & Reproductive Health in Europe', you identified \$707.2 million have been allocated in anti-gender funding between 2009 and 2018. Could you tell us more about the sources of these funds and the networks behind them ?Neil Datta : In our 2021 report, 'Tip of the Iceberg : Religious Extremist Funders Against Human Rights for Sexuality & Reproductive Health in Europe,' we examined the financial activities of 120 anti-gender organizations operating within Europe from 2009 to 2018. We discovered financial data for only 54 of these organizations, less than half of the total sample. This discrepancy led us to choose the title Tip of the Iceberg, suggesting that the full scope of anti-gender funding remains largely unseen. Nevertheless, the available data provides significant insights into the anti-gender movement.First, we observed a dramatic increase in funding over the decade. In 2009, anti-gender organizations received an average of USD 20 million per year, a figure that rose to over USD 80 million annually by 2018, marking a quadrupling of funding. A further key finding was the geographic distribution of this funding. Approximately 12% of the financial support originated from the United States, 25% from the Russian Federation, and 66% from Europe itself.Upon closer examination, we found that U.S. anti-gender funding was concentrated within a few prominent organizations, notably the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and the European Center for Law and Justice. These groups specialize in litigation and have brought their extensive experience in U.S. legal battles to the European context. For instance, ADF played a pivotal role in the legal efforts that culminated in the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.Russian funding was primarily sourced from two far-right oligarchs, Vladimir Yakunin and Konstantin Malofeev, both of whom are currently under Western sanctions for their involvement in the Russian aggression against Ukraine. These figures have created what scholars describe as 'influence factories,' which aim to shape Western political, social, and economic elites in favor of a pro-Russian agenda. These efforts position Russia as a defender of 'authentic European Christian values.'European funding sources primarily consisted of wealthy individuals, including industry leaders, billionaires, and aristocratic families, who form a significant part of the financial infrastructure supporting anti-gender initiatives. Additionally, we noted the rise of crowdfunding platforms developed by anti-gender organizations, which allow them to solicit funds directly from their supporters.With this USD 707 million, religious extremists have been able to build five new pan-European lobbying infrastructures : one focused on anti-abortion advocacy ; another on promoting homophobia ; a third dedicated to creating a pan-European ultra-conservative Christian political party ; a fourth aimed at expanding a pseudo-Catholic, cult-like network ; and a fifth involved in the development of a global social media petition platform to facilitate ultra-conservative online harassment. Together, these efforts exemplify the transnationalization of the anti-gender movement, which has not only enhanced its professional capacity but also cultivated a new generation of younger leaders.We are currently in the process of updating this research and expect to release a new report in May 2025, entitled 'The Next Wave : Religious Extremist Funding in Europe.' Preliminary findings suggest that funding levels between 2018 and 2022 have more than doubled compared to the previous period.Focus 2030 : The European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual & Reproductive Rights (EPF) mobilizes a network of parliamentarians across Europe to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). What concrete actions can parliamentarians take to support women’s rights and their bodily autonomy ?Neil Datta : Parliamentarians play a crucial role in advancing SRHR by leveraging their constitutional mandates : enacting and monitoring laws and policies, holding governments accountable for commitments, and ensuring adequate funding for implementation. Across these three areas, decisive action is required to strengthen women’s rights and bodily autonomy.Strengthening Laws and Policies : Despite progress in gender equality, fundamental rights such as access to abortion remain precarious. In many countries, legal protections for abortion rights are inconsistent, often subject to political shifts that can erode hard-won gains. Parliamentarians must work to enshrine these rights in national legislation, ensuring that abortion is legally protected, accessible, and free from unnecessary restrictions. Furthermore, while contraception is widely recognized as essential for reproductive autonomy, significant gaps remain in affordability, availability, and public awareness. Strengthening laws to guarantee universal access to modern contraception, including emergency contraception, is essential. Policymakers should also advocate for comprehensive sexuality education, empowering individuals with knowledge to make informed reproductive choices.It is for this reason that EPF has produced a series of policies atlases covering abortion, contraception, HPV prevention and fertility treatments to highlight the disparities between countries and pointing to good practices parliamentarians can adopt from comparable countries. This approach has contributed to over 15 positive changes in abortion laws across Europe and over 25 policy changes on access to contraception ranging in countries as far apart as Argentina, Mexico, Oman, and over 15 European countries.Holding Governments Accountable  : Governments frequently fall behind on their commitments to SRHR, despite international agreements such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 and commitments made at forums like the G. Parliamentarians must rigorously monitor national progress, challenge delays, and push for stronger implementation mechanisms. Additionally, many governments are downsizing official development assistance (ODA) for global health and gender equality programs. This rollback disproportionately affects marginalized communities, reducing access to vital reproductive health services. Parliamentarians should use their oversight powers to demand transparency in aid commitments and prevent further cuts to critical SRHR programs.Ensuring Adequate Funding  : A well-funded SRHR framework is essential for meaningful progress. However, global funding trends indicate stagnation or reduction in SRHR investments. Governments must massively increase financial commitments to reproductive healthcare, ensuring that services are available, high-quality, and accessible to all. The notion that defense spending takes precedence over healthcare and social services is a false economy—sustainable security is rooted in health, education, and gender equality. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the vulnerabilities in global health systems and demonstrated the necessity of robust public health infrastructure. Investing in SRHR is not only a human rights imperative but also an economic and public health necessity.Parliamentarians must take decisive action to reinforce legal protections, hold governments accountable, and secure the necessary funding for SRHR. Women’s rights and bodily autonomy are fundamental to democracy, equality, and sustainable development. Strengthening legal frameworks, ensuring policy commitments are met, and prioritizing SRHR funding will contribute to a more just and equitable world

            [text] => The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. In the run-up to this international summit, Focus 2030 devotes a special report to the challenges of (mal)nutrition worldwide, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts involved in the field of nutrition.   How was the Nutrition for Growth 2025 Summit covered by the media in France and abroad? As with other international development issues, the fight against malnutrition is often relegated to the periphery of media debates. However, the Nutrition for Growth 2025 Summit, held in Paris, received relatively significant attention in the French press during the week of the event, despite limited media coverage beforehand.Some media outlets provided an in-depth analysis of global malnutrition issues and of the N4G Summit itself, such as the article from l’Express discussing the challenges of the N4G Summit, the piece from Le Monde, or Les Echos which highlight the commitments made during the Summit. Most publications, however, only briefly mentioned the event, focusing instead on related topics such as cuts in development and humanitarian aid, or the visit of the King of Lesotho to Paris.Furthermore, compared to other recent international summits organized by France — such as the one on artificial intelligence in February — the N4G Summit received significantly less media coverage.It is also important to note that the N4G Summit took place at the same time as a summit on the war in Ukraine, held in Paris by the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron, which was announced only a week earlier and heavily captured media attention, partly overshadowing the visibility of the N4G Summit. The Nutrition for Growth Summit received media attention :In the French PressArticle published in Le Figaro on November 14, 2024: “La nutrition, pierre angulaire de la croissance et de la lutte contre les inégalités mondiales” (interview with Secretary of State for Francophonie and International Partnerships, Thani Mohamed-Soilihi)  Article from La Croix dated November 19, 2024: “Au G20, le Brésil de Lula lance une nouvelle Alliance globale contre la faim”  Article from Franceinfo dated March 4, 2025: “Vous souffrez de surpoids comme 50% de la population : quels sont les risques pour vous et vos enfants ?”  Article from France 3 Régions dated March 4, 2025: “Vous souffrez d’obésité comme 50% de la population : quels sont les risques pour vous et vos enfants ?”  Article from Brut dated March 7, 2025: “La malnutrition, un défi majeur face au manque de financement”  Article from Franceinfo dated March 12, 2025: “Malnutrition infantile : des partis d’opposition et des ONG demandent des repas gratuits dans les écoles publiques”  Article from Msn dated March 12, 2025: “Thani Mohamed Soilihi évoque une volonté commune de redéfinition des axes de partenariat”  Article from Les Echos dated March 21, 2025: “Ensemble pour fournir des ressources vitales aux enfants vulnérables”  Article published in Libération on March 23, 2025: “Alimentation : Produire des insectes de manière économiquement viable reste un défi”  Article from Les Echos dated March 24, 2025: “Sommet ’Nutrition for Growth’” Article from La Croix, March 25, 2025: “Malnutrition : ‘Augmenter le prix de la canette de soda sauverait la vie de millions d’enfants”  Article from Mediatico, March 25, 2025: “Malnutrition : crash test à Paris pour la solidarité internationale”  Article from France Info, March 26, 2025: “Sommet sur la nutrition à Paris : ’Ça devait être un sommet des chefs d’État, ça va être une réunion ministérielle’, regrette Action contre la faim”  Article from Le Figaro, March 26, 2025: “Faute de moyens, la moitié des enfants souffrant de malnutrition sévère dans le monde ne sont pas traités”  Article from La Croix, March 27, 2025: “Contre la faim et pour le climat, le roi du Lesotho Letsie III dans la cour des grands”  Article from La Croix, March 27, 2025: “La lutte contre la faim dans le monde à l’épreuve de la disette budgétaire”  Article from France 24, March 27, 2025: “La malnutrition : un fléau aggravé avec le changement climatique”  Article from La Croix, March 27, 2025: “Crise au Tigré : ’Nous n’entendons plus les fusils, mais l’insécurité alimentaire continue à nous tuer en silence’”  Article from France Info, March 27, 2025:

            [text] =>  The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this crucial event, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.  Interview with Joel Spicer, President and CEO, Nutrition International Focus 2030 : Malnutrition is the leading cause of infant mortality worldwide, directly or indirectly responsible for approximately one in two deaths among children under five. What is Nutrition International’s vision for addressing malnutrition on a global scale?  Joel Spicer, President and CEO, Nutrition International  : While malnutrition comes in many forms, including overweight, obesity, undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies, most of them are entirely preventable. We know that with the right nutrition at the right time, we can provide people with life-long benefits and prevent malnutrition.That means ending malnutrition is a choice. It’s a political choice, an economic choice and a choice about the kind of world we want to build.And yet people continue to suffer from malnutrition, particularly women, adolescent girls, children and people living in poverty. It weakens their health, and it limits their future opportunities. It’s a vicious cycle.We want to end that cycle, and we believe that the world can do it — if we work together in a focused, connected and sustainable way. It’s not something that a single organization, government or group can do alone: we need to work collectively across borders, silos and sectors to make the best possible use of the available resources. And we need to do it through evidence-based, high-impact and cost-effective interventions that include both large-scale activities and tailored programs at the community level. It is the only way that we will achieve measurable results.That has been our approach for more than 30 years. We work in more than 60 countries globally, generating data and evidence, supporting policy makers and institutions to make informed decisions, and working alongside governments as an expert ally to ensure their programs successfully deliver the right nutrition interventions at scale to those who need them. It’s a connected approach that helps us ensure that no opportunity is missed when it comes to breaking down barriers between different sectors and successfully integrating nutrition into non-nutrition platforms.Ending malnutrition also requires demanding the greatest impact possible from every dollar we invest. We need to double down on what we know works and prioritize the best things first. That was the basis of our first investment case, which we launched in 2018, and our newly launched second investment case continues that emphasis on maximizing the impact of every dollar to achieve more effective and sustainable results.Ultimately, malnutrition is a solvable problem, but we won’t get there by preserving the status quo. We need to make the choice to end it — and then collectively take action in a focused way. Focus 2030 : With a presence in over 60 countries, Nutrition International is a key stakeholder in the field of nutrition. How will Nutrition International engage and mobilize in the lead-up to the N4G Summit in Paris?Joel Spicer : Our focus at the 2025 N4G Summit in Paris is to encourage and motivate global leaders, country governments and nutrition partners to make strong, smart and ambitious political and financial commitments to nutrition that will move the needle on achieving the global nutrition targets by 2030.To do this, we are going to use the same approach that we use in our everyday work: support our government partners by providing in-depth technical knowledge, research abilities and operational capacity that helps them deliver the right nutrition interventions at the right time. We take a similar approach when engaging with donors and other nutrition decision makers, providing them with data to make informed choices and investments that generate a stronger return on investment.For instance, we have used our expertise in health economics to produce customized advocacy briefs and convene focused meetings and events that demonstrate the cost of not investing in nutrition. Our user-friendly Cost of Inaction Tool uses open-access data to provide estimates of the health, human capital and economic consequences of not taking action to address key indicators of undernutrition. By showing the enormous economic and human capital implications of malnutrition to donors and country governments alike, we’re reinforcing the urgent need for increased investment in nutrition at the N4G Summit in Paris.At the regional level, we are using our close working relationships with regional stakeholders like the African Union, the African Development Bank and the Asian Development Bank to ensure that nutrition remains a priority on regional development agendas. This has involved collaborating on continental policy efforts and strategies and jointly hosting high-level events in the lead-up to the summit.At the country level, we are supporting governments to craft commitments that prioritize proven, cost-efficient and high-impact nutrition interventions that make sense in their unique contexts and that tackle debilitating forms of malnutrition, like stunting, anaemia and low birthweight. In Ethiopia, for example, we co-hosted an event alongside the government of Canada and representatives from the Ethiopian government that demonstrated how investing in nutrition can fuel economic growth and strengthen human capital. And in Pakistan, we are providing technical support to the government’s national N4G committee and leading technical consultations across the provinces to shape robust national commitments.Finally, we are working closely with the French government to help shape the N4G Summit, providing technical insights on nutrition and providing experience-based support to the organization of the Summit itself. Whether it’s supporting the day-to-day preparations for the Summit with data-driven insights and experience, or adding to the global coordination efforts behind the Summit, our aim is to rally donors and governments, mobilize commitments and help ensure that N4G Paris yields tangible results for global nutrition.  Focus 2030 : In 2021, the N4G Tokyo Summit led to numerous commitments from a wide range of stakeholders, including 66 countries, and financial pledges for nutrition-related initiatives exceeded 27 billion USD. The 2025 N4G Paris Summit presents a unique opportunity to mobilize the international community around nutrition. What are Nutrition International’s key expectations for the upcoming N4G Summit in Paris?Joel Spicer :  The N4G Summit is more than just another global event: it’s a once-every-four-years opportunity to rally governments, donors and civil society around bold commitments to tackle global malnutrition.  The 2025 Summit is occurring at a time of global disruption when development resources are stretched thin, key players in international development are stepping back and multiple development organizations that rely on a handful of donors are seeking renewed funding within the same year.Within this context, N4G offers the opportunity to signal that collective action and cooperation are possible, needed and necessary to build a better world — and that it must continue. It’s also an important moment to reaffirm nutrition’s role in shaping health, human potential, economic development, equity, and stability. N4G must also deliver bold and sustainable commitments that are aligned with national priorities and bring us closer to achieving the World Health Assembly global nutrition targets and the SDGs.One of the most urgent priorities for N4G 2025 is to secure greater financial en

            [text] => In partnership with University College London (UCL) and Birmingham University, Focus 2030 is conducting a research-action program to analyze the perceptions, attitudes, behaviors and feelings of citizens on international solidarity issues in four countries: France, Germany, United States and United Kingdom.  This research programme Development Engagement Lab (DEL), aims at providing various actors in charge of development issues (NGOs, foundations, think-tanks, ministries, public institutions, international organizations) with data to enable them to better understand citizens’ expectations while they implement their communication, mobilization and advocacy activities.  Within the DEL project, the same 10 question survey is conducted three times a year in order to measure how much opinions evolve about official development assistance (ODA) in the four DEL countries. When measuring respondents’ opinions on whether official development assistance (ODA) should be increased, maintained, or decreased in the four countries surveyed by the DEL research project, we note that since 2019, French people are more likely than the Germans and British to expect from their governments an increase of the amount of money allocated to ODA in order to support development in the poorest countries. Although, French support is progressively getting lower since october 2023.While support for ODA has eroded among French respondents since October 2023, there has nonetheless been an increase in those who support an increase of ODA (+3 points) between October 2024 and February 2025.Responses collected in the USA and Germany since 2019 show a dynamic of opinions willing to decrease ODA. This decline is particularly visible among German respondents between January 2023 (23%) and January 2025 (15%), i.e. -8 points in three years.After growing progressively between 2019 and January 2022, support for ODA in the UK gradually declines to its initial level measured in 2019 (15%).This data comes from our survey conducted by the YouGov Institute and piloted by the research team at University College London and the University of Birmingham as part of the project Development Engagement Lab  which measures the evolution of opinions and behaviors on issues of international solidarity in four countries.

            [text] =>        The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this crucial event, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.      Interview with Chibuzo Okonta, Executive Director of Action Against Hunger France.Focus 2030: Nearly 3 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet, and malnutrition is directly or indirectly responsible for around one in two deaths among children under the age of five. According to Action Against Hunger, what are the main obstacles encountered on the ground in the fight against malnutrition? What priority efforts and essential conditions should the international community consider to achieve the ambitious goal of a malnutrition-free world by 2030?Chibuzo Okonta, Executive Director of Action Against Hunger France : Thank you for your question. 2025 marks the start of the final stretch towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, government decisions are taking us further and further away from this ambition, which now seems no more than a utopian dream.Humanity cannot solve the problem of malnutrition without tackling the root causes of hunger.For Action Against Hunger, these causes have long been identified: conflicts, the climate crisis, socio-economic and gender inequalities. The ambition to combat malnutrition without addressing its root causes would testify to a lack of understanding of the issue, or an absence of political will.During humanitarian crises, diplomacy based on human rights is unfortunately not a priority, as seen for example in Ukraine, Palestine or the Democratic Republic of Congo. And yet, if we are to combat hunger and malnutrition, it is essential that States promote and apply International Humanitarian Law in conflict zones, to guarantee the protection of civilians and the infrastructures essential to their survival.With regard to the climate crisis, Action Against Hunger promotes local and peasant agriculture to combat malnutrition. These are effective practices for building people’s resilience. However, we live in a world where the economic interests of countries and multinationals take precedence, and globalized food production chains do not favor this type of agriculture, even though we know that it is a bulwark against malnutrition. On the contrary, today’s industrial food systems are responsible for a third of greenhouse gas emissions, contribute significantly to environmental degradation, and put great pressure on natural resources.While countries plagued by high socio-economic and gender inequalities often struggle to finance and ensure the quality or even existence of essential services, women, children and marginalized people are doubly at risk: they live with few means to meet their needs, and the State provides little or no care. Without care, a severely malnourished child will pay the consequences for the rest of his or her life or may simply die.The international community needs to prioritize nutrition in its development policies, because it lies at the heart of all the issues that need to be addressed to achieve the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals. We urge France to commit to putting the fight against hunger at the heart of its foreign policy and European political agenda.Focus 2030 : In 2021, the Nutrition for Growth (N4G) Summit in Tokyo marked a turning point with commitments from 180 stakeholders, including 66 States, and funding pledges exceeding \$27 billion. As France prepares to host the next edition, scheduled for March 27-28, 2025, in Paris, what concrete progress can we expect? What conditions need to be in place to maximize the event’s impact? And what innovative solutions do you think should be deployed on a global scale to meet the challenge of malnutrition? Chibuzo Okonta : We are hoping for a real commitment from the nations represented, and particularly from France, the host country of the summit. We are convinced that the success of the N4G summit depends largely on the active involvement of France’s highest authorities.Furthermore, if we want the Summit to have a real impact, it is imperative to have many countries present, including some of the richest countries, because of their greater collective responsibility and the impact of junk food on their societies, but also less wealthy countries, more severely affected by hunger.As mentioned above, the causes of hunger are structural, and only structural responses will be relevant and sustainable. There is therefore no innovative or miracle solution. We are therefore counting on the international community to make and respect financial and political commitments that address the root causes of hunger and malnutrition, while controlling practices that are harmful to nutrition. To achieve this, it is crucial to avoid closed-circle decision-making, all too often influenced by private interests and economic considerations, by involving civil society and local communities as much as possible in decision-making, so that commitments are relevant to the societies and populations most affected. But as is so often the case, one of the biggest obstacles in the fight against malnutrition remains the lack of funding and political will. It is astonishing to see such disinterest when even the World Bank announces that the global cost of inaction on malnutrition exceeds 41 trillion dollars over 10 years. Unfortunately, without funding, the situation is bound to get worse. Today, funding for international solidarity is declining. The decrease in French Official Development Assistance (ODA) and the uncertain future of US ODA are undermining our projects and increasing the insecurity of the people we support.We try to make our voice heard on these issues daily, and the Nutrition for Growth Summit is a not-to-be-missed event, both for us and for the international community as a whole.  Focus 2030 : Private companies must respect strict principles to participate in the Nutrition for Growth Summit. Why are these criteria crucial for Action Against Hunger? What red lines do you think need to be considered? Chibuzo Okonta Civil society organizations play a central role in the fight against malnutrition. Action Against Hunger wishes to reaffirm that the short-term interests of private stakeholders cannot be considered as legitimate as the interests of peoples and the enforcement of their most fundamental rights, such as food, a favorable environment and access to water.To avoid such a counter-productive scenario, it is essential to include civil societies in all their diversity, in particular those in the South most affected by malnutrition. That said, over the last twenty years or so, there has been a shift in the way international dialogues are conducted, particularly on issues relating to food and nutrition. International dialogues have a strong private-sector presence and influence. Often seen as a source of change, the private sector is invited to make commitments in favor of nutrition, just like governments. The experience of several decades of international summits on food systems shows us that there is an asymmetry of power between representatives of civil society, governments and multinationals, particularly agribusinesses, always in favor of the latter.However, the space given to the private commercial sector at international summits such as N4G, on the contrary, guarantees it a favorable regulatory environment, wiping out any necessary evolution.Although previous editions of N4G had Principles of Engagement, they didn’t truly guard against conflicts of interest between the private commercial sector and human rights, notably the right to adequate and sufficient food.Faced with this situation, and to ensure that the means and efforts deployed to combat u

In the run-up to this international summit, Focus 2030 devotes a special edition to the challenges of (mal)nutrition worldwide, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts involved in the field of nutrition.On September 17, 2024, the Gates Foundation released the new edition of its annual Goalkeepers report, entitled “The Race to nourish a Warming World”. This year, the report emphasizes the urgency of increasing investment in global health and nutrition, and developing solutions to protect more than 400 million children worldwide from the most severe consequences of hunger.Since 2017, the Goalkeepers report has assessed progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by UN member states in 2015. Among these goals, SDG 2 on “Zero Hunger”, is at the heart of global priorities in the fight against malnutrition, with a target set in 2012  by the World Health Organization to reduce the number of stunted children under five by 40% by 2025.A worrying global pictureDespite significant progress between 2000 and 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has brought many advances to a halt, or even reversed them. According to the report, current figures are alarmingIn 2023, 148 million children under the age of five - almost one in five worldwide - were stunted.400 million children, or two-thirds of the world’s children, do not receive the nutrients they need for growth.Nearly half of all child deaths worldwide are due to malnutrition.People who have suffered from hunger in childhood are 33% less likely to escape poverty.Without a response from the international community and appropriate funding, climate change will cause over 40 million children to suffer from stunted growth, and over 28 million  to be victims of the most severe forms of malnutrition, by 2050.Between 2024 and 2050, climate change will stunt the growth of 40 million more children, and 28 million more will be emaciated.- Bill Gates Funding to fight malnutrition declines in the worst-affected countriesMore than half of all child deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, yet health-related official development assistance (ODA) to Africa has been falling steadily since 2010, from 40% of total aid to 25% . The call to action :Maintain funding for global health, including vaccines and medicines.        Support organizations such as Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.Immediately tackle child malnutrition using a new funding mechanism, the Child Nutrition Fund,  to implement innovative solutions, encourage domestic funding and coordinate efforts to end child malnutrition, set up by the Gates Foundation and UNICEF.Explore the dataFind the latest data on 18 indicators of SDGs 1 to 6 and 8 on the Gates Foundation website.

            [text] => The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit (N4G), organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. In the run-up to this international summit, Focus 2030 devotes a special edition to the challenges of (mal)nutrition worldwide, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts involved in the field of nutrition. In October 2024, the World Bank published its Nutrition Investment Framework 2024, with a view to the forthcoming Nutrition for Growth (N4G) in Paris on March 27 and 28, 2025. At this event, global decision-makers will be invited to make ambitious financial and political commitments to fight malnutrition.Building on the framework initiated in 2017, this report aims to guide the international community’s action and encourage countries to invest effectively in targeted policies and actions to improve nutrition  worldwide.Despite the efforts made at national and international level, the World Bank draws a mixed picture and calls for action.Progress in the fight against malnutrition is insufficient: 3 out of 10 women worldwide suffer from anemia, 148 million children face stunting and almost 45% of adults are obese.Paradoxically, public actions that target nutrition are those with the greatest return on investment.According to the World Bank report, every dollar invested in the fight against malnutrition generates a return of 23 dollars while the cost of inaction exceeds 41 trillion dollars over 10 years worldwide. The needs for evidence-based interventions to fight malnutrition  Nutritional interventions  refer to targeted actions aimed at improving the nutritional status of populations, particularly those vulnerable to malnutrition or other nutrition-related problems. They can focus on improving access to nutritious foods, educating people about healthy eating practices, or implementing “supplementation” programs (using a nutritional supplement to make up for a deficiency) to correct specific nutritional deficiencies.In its investment framework, the World Bank advocates investing in a range of evidence-based nutrition interventions divided into four thematic areas: Prenatal interventions  (e.g. calcium supplementation, preventive treatment of malaria)Perinatal and neonatal interventions  (e.g. delayed cord clamping at birth)Interventions for children under 5  (e.g. vitamin A supplementation, preventive or therapeutic zinc supplementation, ready-to-use therapeutic food) Nutritional education and advice for infants and young children (ex : e.g. advice/education on breast-feeding or dietary diversifity). Supporting nutritional interventions through effective public policiesThe report recommends the implementation of public policies, that support the development of https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9241541601' class='spip_out' rel='external'>Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative or introduce targeted taxes on sugary drinks and ultra-processed and/or unhealthy foods to influence dietary behavior and increase tax revenues. Note : 57% of the world’s population  lives in a country that has introduced taxes on sweetened beverages.It is important not only to maximize the effectiveness of current policies, but also to explore new avenues of financing, notably through: Integrating nutrition into universal health coverage programs and social safety nets. Reallocating food subsidies to promote healthy diets. The use of climate funds, sovereign wealth funds and private investments in the environmental, social and governance fields.The investment framework stresses the importance of a multi-sectoral approach  to fight against malnutrition, considering health, agriculture, water, sanitation, education, social protection, climate and gender issues  in the definition of public policies.The report describes the many links between climate change and malnutrition  and highlights some particularly worrying consequences: Droughts increase the probability of wasting, the deadliest form of malnutrition in children, by 50%. Extreme droughts could increase stunting by 23% in sub-Saharan Africa and 62% in South Asia by 2050. Reduced access to fresh food drives the consumption of ultra-processed foods, contributing to obesity.The report also notes that, despite the agri-food sector’s significant contribution to greenhouse gas emissions,  its climate transition remains insufficiently financed, with only 4.3% of climate funds allocated to the sector. Investments targeting both nutrition and climate would therefore be worthwhile, such as the introduction of taxes on unhealthy foods  (like ultra-processed products) and  polluting foods  (foods with a large carbon footprint).Furthermore, it appears that women, are more exposed to malnutrition, underlining the need for a gender-sensitive approach to nutrition and climate policies.  Find out more about nutrition and climate issues:FAO report « Climate Action and Nutrition : Pathways to Impact»UN-Nutrition report « Nutrition and the environment − Nurturing people, protecting the planet» To find out more about nutrition and gender issues:UNICEF report: « Denied and forgotten: a global nutrition crisis for adolescent and women »..

July 2023. Financial investments for sustainable global nutrition: the keys to success The World Bank estimates that between 2025 and 2034, to achieve 90% coverage of targeted nutritional interventions to combat undernutrition (wasting, stunting, micronutrient deficiencies), additional financial investments  will need to be mobilized: 128 billion dollars (or 13 billion per year) are required  for this 10-year period. This is equivalent to around \$13 per year per pregnant woman and \$17 per child under 5. Of this \$128 billion, \$98 billion is needed  for  low- and lower-middle-income countries.   Investing in nutrition: a lever for preserving lives and boosting the global economy By  investing in the targeted nutrit

            [descriptif] => As Donald Trump is sworn in for a second term, what are the consequences for the international solidarity sector and the global fight against poverty and inequality? Analysis.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => The re-election of Donald Trump marks a decisive turning point in US international solidarity policy. As soon as he returned to the White House, on January 20, 2025, his administration introduced a series of measures that call into question the United States’ commitment to development financing. Aid freezes, administrative reorganizations and budgetary uncertainties : these decisions raise concerns about the consequences for recipient countries and humanitarian organizations. This article looks at the concrete effects of Trump’s first decisions and their impact on international cooperation.Disengagement from initiatives to combat climate changeOn January 20, 2025, a presidential executive order confirmed the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. This withdrawal includes the halting of all financing related to the Paris Agreement and terminating the U.S. International Climate Finance Plan.On March 4, 2025, the United States announced its withdrawal from the Climate Loss and Damage Fund, an international initiative created at COP28 in 2023 to compensate developing countries affected by global warming. Approved in 2022 under President Joe Biden, the fund had seen the United States pledge \$17.5 million, a contribution significantly lower than those of countries like France and Italy, which each committed \$104 million. As of today, the fund had received approximately \$741 million in pledges. This decision has been strongly criticized by climate experts and activists, who denounce it as a 'cruel action' that undermines international cooperation and exacerbates the vulnerability of the nations most exposed to the consequences of climate change, despite their minimal responsibility for it.Minimum Taxation of Multinational CorporationsThrough another executive order, the U.S. announced its refusal to recognize the OECD’s Global Minimum Tax Agreement, which ensures that multinational corporations pay at least 15% tax on their income in each jurisdiction.Development AssistanceOn January 20th, President Trump issued a 90-day pause in U.S. development assistance to assess its alignment with American interests. The decision, prompted by concerns about the potential negative impact of some aid programs on “American values and global stability”, is intended to evaluate each program to determine whether it should be maintained, modified, or discontinued. Certain exceptions have been included, including military aid for Israel and Egypt, as well as emergency food aid. On January 28, the Secretary of State also signed a waiver for humanitarian assistance programs that provide “core life-saving medicine, medical services, food, shelter, and subsistence assistance, as well as supplies and reasonable administrative costs as necessary to deliver such assistance”, but excluding any activities related to family planning.According to internal memos from USAID, the permanent interruption of certain programs could lead to, for example, up to 18 million additional cases of malaria per year, as well as up to 166,000 additional deaths from the disease. There could also be 200,000 additional cases of paralytic polio per year, and more than 28,000 new cases of infectious diseases such as Ebola each year. The Trump administration’s 2026 budget proposal proposes cutting U.S. contributions to the African Development Fund (ADF) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) by \$555 million. The ADF provides critical concessional financing to 40 of the poorest countries in Africa. This cut could force these countries to turn to more expensive financing options, worsening already critical debt levels and reducing their ability to invest in health, agriculture, infrastructure or the fight against climate change.The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), a US development agency, could be the next to be hit by the Trump administration’s budget cuts. An internal email has been circulated informing staff of a significant reduction in programmes and staff. Although the final decision has yet to be made official, several indicators point to a gradual dismantling of the agency, which has invested nearly \$17 billion in 47 countries over 20 years. The 300 or so employees have been offered 'early retirement' or 'deferred resignation' options, and all MCC contracts or programs will soon be canceled or terminated.The pause of american development assistance also put a halt to the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) program. Launched in 1984, this program collected reliable data for 40 years in over 90 low- and middle-income countries to inform health, nutrition, gender equality and development policies, thanks to precise indicators on infant mortality, HIV, gender-based violence, maternal health and male behavior. Ongoing data collection in 25 countries has since then been paused, compromising the monitoring of public policies, and more generally the monitoring of indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 33 of which rely on DHS data.USAID reform and termination of 83% of its programsFollowing official memo dated February 4, USAID (the U.S. Agency for International Development) cutting its workforce from 14,000 to just 294 - a drop of more than 95%. The purge has left just 78 employees in the Office for Humanitarian Assistance, 77 in the Office of Global Health and reduced staffing levels in the regional offices, with 21 people for the Middle East and 12 for Africa. The repercussions of this decision are considerable : the remaining employees are struggling to maintain operations, and the agency’s missions are virtually paralysed. A temporary court order has suspended the administrative leave of thousands of USAID employees, giving them a reprieve until 14 February 2025.This drastic measure follows the executive order on aid and signals a potential plan to dismantle USAID and merge it with the State Department. Seen as a pillar of the ‘America First’ policy, these actions are raising serious concerns about the United States’ ability to maintain its role in international aid. Trump’s appointees have made sweeping changes, including closing the agency’s headquarters. However, Democrats argue that Trump does not have the authority to make structural changes to USAID without legislative approval. A report from the Congressional Research Service supports this position, stating that any major changes require congressional authorization.Faced with this critical situation, a number of NGOs and trade unions have launched legal proceedings in an attempt to halt the dismantling of the a

            [text] =>  The next edition of the Nutrition for Growth Summit, organized by France on March 27 and 28, 2025 in Paris, represents a unique opportunity to engage the international community in a more effective fight against malnutrition. Ahead of this international summit, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.  3 questions to Afshan Khan, Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations and Coordinator of the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) MovementFocus 2030 :  Today, three billion people still cannot afford to eat properly, and nearly one in three children under five worldwide suffers from malnutrition. What is the SUN Movement’s vision for addressing malnutrition on a global scale? What are the Movement’s top priorities and strategies to tackle all forms of malnutrition and ensure lasting and sustainable solutions?  Afshan Khan : Good nutrition is the foundation for a better future, driving progress in health, education and economic growth while empowering women, and breaking cycles of poverty and inequality. It boosts productivity and prosperity at both individual and global levels. However, the reverse is also true—malnutrition, including overweight and obesity, significantly hampers potential.By addressing malnutrition in all of its forms, and its underlying drivers, societies are better equipped to cope with the risks of climate change and disasters, and the erosion of human capital that comes as a consequence of unhealthy diets.The SUN Movement envisions a world where everyone, especially the most vulnerable, has access to the nutrition needed to thrive today and in the future. This requires addressing evolving global nutrition trends while ensuring the availability of evidence, capacity, and financing to respond effectively. Central to this response are the voices from the Global South—women, children, and youth—who, when empowered, become powerful agents of nutritional transformation.To achieve this, the SUN Movement unites governments, partners, and communities across sectors and political levels, positioning nutrition as both a key marker and maker of development. It aligns country needs and priorities with global resources, supporting demand-driven initiatives. SUN supports countries in securing financing, enhancing information systems, and amplifying advocacy efforts. It works to elevate nutrition on global and national agendas, advocating for evidence-based gender-transformative actions, youth agency, and solutions tailored to humanitarian contexts. Lastly, SUN is dedicated to advancing proven nutrition solutions, such as first 1,000-day interventions to address stunting, promoting exclusive breastfeeding and bundling nutrition services with immunization, counseling, and screening is important in fragile states where services are weak. Focus 2030 :  The SUN Movement brings together 66 countries across Latin America, Asia, and Africa, all committed to improving their food systems and nutrition outcomes. It also unites four SUN Networks – Civil Society, Business, UN Nutrition and Donors.  With its unique position on the international stage, how is the SUN movement driving change in the lead up of the 2025 N4G Summit and mobilizing diverse stakeholders to rally around this crucial event?    Afshan Khan : The world is approaching an important moment and opportunity to address nutrition. Building on the success of the 2021 N4G Tokyo Summit, which secured over \$27 billion through 396 commitments from 181 stakeholders—including 57 SUN countries—the 2025 Summit aims to sustain this momentum with SUN countries leading the charge. The SUN Movement is uniquely positioned to drive nutrition action leading up to N4G. Its diverse membership—spanning countries, civil society, donors, and the private sector—provides a significant advantage in mobilizing resources from a wide range of stakeholders.As a convening platform, SUN bridges local needs with the evolving global context, facilitating the exchange of learning and best practices while amplifying local voices on the national and international stage. SUN is supporting countries to prepare for the Summit. We have helped develop N4G thematic guides which lay out helpful criteria on commitment making in the different sectors, and supported countries to review and refine past commitments. SUN helps countries develop actionable commitments while aligning national priorities with global goals, such as the WHA targets and SDGs—demonstrating our role in connecting local and global contexts. To support this, we are concluding a series of regional workshops ahead of the N4G Summit, focusing on best practices for accountability and creating SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) commitments. Equally important is ensuring that these commitments are inclusive, transparent, and backed by diverse stakeholders, including governments, civil society, the private sector, and community voices.The N4G commitment process isn’t solely about securing new financing for nutrition. Often, greater impact can be achieved by integrating nutrition into investments across other sectors, such as health or climate. This approach is especially critical given the growing threat of climate change, which is expected to worsen nutrition outcomes—stunting alone is projected to increase by 62% in South Asia. So as SUN we are helping countries prepare for the nutrition actions needed now, and helping build awareness and understanding at all levels on how to ‘future-proof’ against the growing risks of climate and disaster, and the loss of productivity associated with that. Focus 2030 :  In 2021, the N4G Tokyo Summit unlocked a staggering \$27 billion from 181 stakeholders across 78 countries, 57 of them SUN countries. Building on that momentum, what are the SUN Movement’s key expectations for the upcoming N4G Summit in Paris, and under which conditions does the SUN Movement envision the Summit contributing to tangible progress in global nutrition efforts and ensuring lasting commitments to fight malnutrition? Afshan Khan : The SUN Movement envisions the 2025 N4G Summit in Paris as a pivotal moment to galvanize global action against malnutrition, but its success hinges on several key conditions. First and foremost, the Summit requires bold political and financial commitments from governments, philanthropies, civil society, investors, and businesses - preferably working together for greater impact. These commitments must go beyond words, to actions that are accountable and tracked for progress. Second, an analysis of the risks and opportunities in the global system now suggests more focus is needed on integrating nutrition into policies and budgets on other issues, such as health, gender, food systems and climate which allows countries to achieve multiple, often interdependent objectives, while making the most of scarce resources.Third, the success of N4G lies not only in the event itself but in its ability to catalyze a sustained global campaign for nutrition. Integrating nutrition into broader agendas will amplify the N4G message across key global milestones in 2025, such as the renewal of the World Health Assembly nutrition targets, the Food Systems Summit, the SUN Global Gathering, and COP30.Fourth, to future-proof nutrition and ensure impact, the Summit must prioritize investments that empower youth as change agents and champion gender equality. In addition, data and research should guide evidence-based policy decisions, ensuring that interventions are effective, sustainable, and inclusive - and that the evidence helps us understand how malnutrition is changing, and how we need to respond to the challenge. For example, today’s youth will be part of a world in 2050 where half of all adults are projected to be overweight or obese.If these conditions are met, the 2025 N4G Summit has the potential to deliver tangible progress in global nutrition efforts, building momentum towards a healthier, more equitable, and sustainable future - with a focus and resp

            [text] =>  This article presents the official development assistance figures for the main OECD donors in 2023. For the latest available statistics, please consult this articleThe OECD published, on 16 January 2025, the final figures for the amounts allocated by donor countries to official development assistance (ODA) in 2023. ODA from members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) amounted to a historic \$223.3 billion in 2023, or 0.37% of the combined gross national income of DAC countries. This is the highest level ever, despite a modest increase of 1.6% in real terms.However, 17 donor countries, including France, have decreased their ODA compared to 2022, despite growing international needs. Analysis. ODA REACHES A NEW HIGH IN 2023 For the fifth consecutive year, ODA from DAC donor countries has reached a new record, standing at \$223.3 billion, an increase of 1.6% in real terms compared with 2022. The United States remains the largest donor (\$65 billion), followed by Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and France.However, the increase in ODA in 2023 is mainly due to aid to Ukraine (which reached 18.2 billion dollars and represents 8% of total net ODA) and to humanitarian aid (26.1 billion, 11.6% of total net ODA) and contributions to multilateral organisations. Furthermore, only 14 of the DAC member countries have increased their ODA, while 17 have decreased it.The costs of hosting refugees in donor countries, which can be counted as ODA in the first year of hosting and largely explain the increase in ODA in 2022, represented 32.5 billion dollars in 2023, or 14.6% of total ODA (-1.6% compared to 2022).   This amount is equivalent to 0.37% of the combined gross national income (GNI) of the DAC countries, the same proportion as in 2022. Only five countries have reached the target of allocating 0.7% of their GNI to ODA, which was adopted by the industrialised countries at the United Nations in 1970: Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Germany and Denmark.  An increase in ODA since the adoption of the Sustainable development goalsSince the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, total ODA from DAC countries has more than doubled in real terms. Compared with 2019, it has risen by 34%, in response to the multiple global crises generated in particular by the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, climate change and their cascading consequences. It should be noted, however, that the cost of receiving refugees in donor countries declared as ODA, which by its very nature does not contribute to the fight against poverty in developing countries, has tripled since 2019.  Despite its commitments, France substantially reduces its ODA France’s ODA reached \$15 billion in 2023, a decrease of 13% compared with the previous year (-2.1 billion in real terms). As a result, France has dropped one place in the ranking of donor countries to 5th place, well behind the United Kingdom (19.1 billion in 2023).This amount represents 0.48% of its GNI (compared with 0.56% in 2022), in contradiction with the trajectory set out in the 2021 programming law on inclusive development and the fight against global inequalities. Indeed, the latter envisaged reaching 0.61% of France’s GNI dedicated to ODA in 2023.Yet the trajectory of French ODA is unlikely to pick up again in 2024 and 2025: a few months after postponing by five years the target of allocating 0.7% of national wealth to international solidarity, the French government announced successive cuts of 742 million euros in the ODA budget in 2024 and almost 2 billion euros in the Finance Bill for 2025 (before the government’s censure in November 2024). This abandonment of the target of reaching 0.7% by 2025, combined with the cuts envisaged, could represent a shortfall of almost 22 billion euros for development between 2025 and 2030.Find out more about the preliminary figures for ODA in 2023.

Ahead of this international summit, Focus 2030 is dedicating a special edition to the global challenges of (mal)nutrition, highlighting the views and expectations of organizations, personalities and experts working in the field of nutrition.      3 questions to Brieuc Pont, France’s Special Envoy on Nutrition and Secretary General of the “Nutrition for Growth” SummitFocus 2030 :  France will host the Nutrition for Growth Summit on March 27-28, 2025, to mobilize the international community and address the structural causes of malnutrition. What will be the priorities of the 2025 N4G Summit? How could this initiative mark the turning point in the fight against malnutrition? From your perspective, what would constitute a successful summit?  Brieuc Pont, N4G Special Envoy :  We want the N4G Paris Summit to be a turning point in nutrition, a summit that brings about a paradigm shift. The goal is to better integrate nutrition policies into the development agenda, while also addressing all forms of malnutrition, including overweight and obesity. Our goal is to make nutrition a universal issue because it is a plague that spares no one.And developed countries are equally affected. Finally, we place great importance on monitoring the commitments made in Paris. It is no longer about meeting once every four years to make financial commitments, but about ensuring that our collective efforts lead to the achievement of the SDGs and help prepare the post-2030 period.To this end, the Summit will be structured around open dialogue, enabling conceptual, political, and financial progress through strong, collective, and constructive engagement from governments, development banks, philanthropic foundations, the research community, NGOs, and the private sector.Socio-economic, gender, and health access inequalities, weak food and education systems, climate disasters, health shocks, and conflicts are not only the main causes of malnutrition but also aggravating factors. They can also create a vicious cycle that exacerbates the effects of malnutrition itself.To address this, the Summit intends to mobilize and encourage commitments by developing a balanced, multisectoral approach to nutrition at the heart of these major challenges.N4G Paris aims to highlight all forms of malnutrition. While primarily affecting developing countries, donor countries are also deeply burdened by this issue: obesity and non-communicable diseases related to malnutrition have never been more prevalent. Moreover, we are facing the rise of another aspect of this burden: malnutrition in the elderly. In aging societies, the nutrition of our seniors is a critical dimension of healthy aging.While the financial commitments secured during this edition will undoubtedly be an important aspect of its success, its outcome will be determined by the quality of these commitments and their alignment with the needs of populations.Success will also depend on political mobilization to renew international nutrition objectives in order to meet the 2030 deadline and, beyond that, to eradicate malnutrition in all its forms, across all continents. Finally, the summit will be successful if it can maintain momentum beyond March 28 and sustain it until the next edition. Focus 2030 : Today, three billion people still cannot afford a healthy diet, and globally nearly one in three children under five suffers from malnutrition. What are the main barriers countries face? In your opinion, what solutions should be scaled up to make a real difference and deserve the mobilization of financial and political commitments from stakeholders at the Summit?    Brieuc Pont : The main obstacles to food security and the fight against malnutrition are multifaceted and interdependent.At the economic and social levels, poverty, gender inequalities, the high cost of healthy and nutritious foods, and food inflation limit access to adequate nutrition for populations. Armed conflicts disrupt supply chains and restrict humanitarian access to vulnerable populations. Climate change, such as droughts and floods, weakens agricultural systems, while land degradation and water stress reduce agricultural productivity. Inefficient food systems, characterized by post-harvest losses, low crop diversification, as well as ultra-processed foods high in sugar, salt, and fat, worsen food insecurity. Finally, limited access to health and nutrition services, lack of awareness, and weak public policies—especially the absence of multisectoral coordination and dependence on food imports—pose challenges to the fight against malnutrition.To meet this challenge, we need to strengthen the mainstreaming of nutrition into all public policies.This means implementing actions across different sectors in parallel. In the health sector, social protection nets such as cash transfers and school feeding programs—provided they offer balanced and healthy meals—should be put in place. The screening and treatment of child malnutrition, with support for micronutrient supplementation campaigns and the promotion of breastfeeding, are also solutions to be prioritized. In the agricultural sector, it is crucial to place nutrition at the heart of policies to strengthen food systems. Other areas that require investment include education, gender equality, hygiene and sanitation, and governance. Focus 2030 : As host of the Summit, how does France intend to distinguish itself from previous editions and, more generally, from other countries in its response to the challenges of malnutrition? The N4G Summit has become a key moment in the international community’s political and financial mobilization to fight malnutrition. How much does France allocate to this cause? Has a global target been set ? Brieuc Pont : The N4G Summits are just the tip of the iceberg in the fight against malnutrition. Our aim is to create continuity between summits, to ensure that collective efforts are sustained between them. The previous host country of the N4G Summit, Japan, and the next, the United States, are fully committed to this goal.France, for its part, whether in the fields of health, education, water/sanitation, or agriculture champions a multisectoral and integrated approach to nutrition. Our country is particularly focused on combating malnutrition in a cross-cutting way, especially through healthy and diversified diets. Our international efforts prioritize undernutrition and the critical '1,000 days' period (from conception to two years of age), which is crucial for children’s physical and cognitive development.Alongside support for humanitarian actions, France aims for a preventive and long-term approach to malnutrition. In this regard, healthy diets and sustainable food systems, particularly those based on agroecological practices, are a key focus. France is taking concrete action in this area. At the last N4G Summit in Tokyo, it committed to dedicating 50% of its food aid to nutrition. From 2020 to 2023, 354 million euros were allocated to nutrition, equating to nearly 90 million euros per year. For the upcoming Summit, France intends to further increase its political and financial contribution to nutrition.NB : The opinions expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus 2030.

France will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Veil Law and the decriminalization of abortion on January 17. 69th Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) from March 10 to 21 📆 in New York. 2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995). Discussions at CSW will focus on the evaluation and implementation of this process by UN Member States. The OECD will release its 2023 data on Official Development Assistance (ODA) allocated to gender equality around March 8 📆. In France, this occasion will coincide with the awarding of the Simone Veil Prize of the French Republic for gender equality. From June 30 to July 3, Spain will host the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development, ten years after the last conference in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia). This meeting will enable the international community to adapt the current framework for international development financing to today’s realities, addressing the evolving needs of the most vulnerable countries. In preparation for this conference, the Walking the Talk consortium will organize the Financing for Feminist Futures Conference from May 21 to 23 to ensure that funding for gender equality, particularly for feminist organizations in the Global South, is central to this agenda. Following Germany, the Netherlands, and Mexico, France will host the fourth conference on feminist foreign policies in 2025. This event will present France’s first Feminist foreign policy strategy and highlight the progress made since its adoption. Every year, from November 25 to December 10 📆, the global campaign of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence reminds us of the urgency to fight injustices faced by women and girls worldwide. Starting on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (November 25) until Human Rights Day (December 10), civil society organizations, activists, and policymakers dedicate 16 days to collective reflection, awareness-raising, and action for gender equality and the fight against violence towards women.

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => 3 questions to Akihiko Nishio, World Bank Vice President for Development FinanceWritten interview received on November 26, 2024.Focus 2030 : The International Development Association (IDA) is the World Bank’s arm dedicated to supporting the world’s poorest countries. How successful has IDA been since its creation in 1960? What developments have been witnessed? Akihiko Nishio : The International Development Association has been a remarkable story of transformation since its creation in 1960. Imagine an institution that both provides temporary relief, and helps countries build sustainable economic futures. That’s exactly what IDA has accomplished. Over the decades, 35 nations have graduated from being aid recipients to becoming donors themselves - a testament to IDA’s transformative impact.The numbers tell an impressive story. Between 2012 and 2023, IDA has touched the lives of billions. More than 1.18 billion people received essential health services, while 117 million gained access to improved water, and 92 million obtained better electricity services. In just the fiscal year 2024, IDA committed \$31.2 billion to development projects. Countries like China, India, Korea, and Türkiye have gone from being IDA recipients to donors, demonstrating the IDA’s ultimate success - creating economic self-sufficiency. It’s not just about giving money, but about empowering countries to chart their own economic course. From supporting education and health to building infrastructure and addressing climate challenges, IDA has become a reliable and trusted partner in national development.Another aspect that makes IDA truly special is its innovative approach: a financing model that turns every donor dollar into \$3-\$4 dollars of development impact. IDA really is the best deal in development.In recent years, IDA has also become a leader in addressing global challenges like climate change. Over one-third of its funding is now climate-focused, with a particular emphasis on helping vulnerable countries adapt and build resilience.Focus 2030 : On December 5 and 6, the 21st replenishment of IDA will end with a conference in Seoul, South Korea. On this occasion, donor countries will be asked to make commitments to finance IDA’s activities over the next three years. What is IDA’s financial ask for this period? To which countries and sectors will these resources be allocated, and according to which criteria? Will they be subject to any form of conditionality? Akihiko Nishio : The upcoming IDA21 replenishment is an inflection point in global development. We don’t have a target per se but we know the financing needs in the 78 low-income IDA countries are huge.If we are to have the same financing levels as IDA20, real flat - we are looking at \$105 billion. This is not a target but more of a benchmark. We are grateful to countries like Denmark, Spain, Latvia, Norway, Korea and the US that have already announced that they will be increasing their contributions compared to IDA20.IDA puts countries in the driver’s seat, and financing is allocated based on national needs and priorities. IDA uses a Performance-Based Allocation system that considers each country’s specific needs, growth potential, and poverty reduction capabilities. In the IDA20 cycle, focus is particularly strong on Africa, with about 70% of commitments targeted to the continent.For IDA21, stakeholders are close to finalizing a policy package that focuses on investments in people, climate, jobs, gender equality, digital transformation and more. Again, these are broad strategic priorities, and individual countries have significant input into how resources are used to meet their specific development needs.Focus 2030 : World Bank’s President Ajay Banga called on donor countries to make sure the 21st replenishment would be the 'largest-ever'. Numerous African Heads of State have called for a mobilization of \$120 billion, exceeding the World Bank’s request. At the same time, many donor countries, including France, have announced cuts in their Official Development Assistance. Why are financial needs now higher than ever? What would be the consequences of an unsuccessful replenishment? Akihiko Nishio : We know the challenges in IDA countries are huge and there is heightened demand for concessional financing. At the same time, we recognize it is a very difficult situation for many donors, especially given that almost all currencies have depreciated against the dollar in the last 3 years.What makes this moment unique is the recognition that development aid is about more than giving money. It’s about investing in our shared futures and creating sustainable pathways out of poverty that benefit everyone—both people in IDA countries and beyond. So the IDA21 replenishment represents a critical investment that has mutual benefit.Consider this: Climate change threatens to push over 130 million more into extreme poverty by 2030. Young people are entering labor markets in millions without enough jobs to meet them. Countries are spending astronomical amounts on debt service - nearly half their revenues - which is more than they spend on health, education, and infrastructure combined. Without a robust IDA21, we’re not just talking about reduced aid, but very real and increasing consequences like instability, climate disasters and conflict. And these challenges tend to transcend borders.The urgency is clear, and as you said, multiple African heads of state have called for a strong IDA. IDA is indeed a strategic investment in global stability. Despite challenges and anticipated cuts from some donor countries, we are grateful for the broad recognition of the critical role IDA plays in addressing development challenges. The opinions expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus 2030.

            [descriptif] => Where do we stand on the evolution of France’s ODA policy since 2017? With figures to back it up, Focus 2030 takes a closer look, at a time when France’s ambitions may be coming to an end.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => This report is published against a backdrop of major budget cuts in France, which are particularly affecting Official Development Assistance. To gain further insight into the implications of these cuts, their consequences and the reactions of civil society organizations, take a look at Focus 2030’s analysis: “France reneges on its Official Development Assistance commitments ”.Humanity is facing an unprecedented number of simultaneous crises: wars, climate change, economic crisis, epidemics, famines... Nearly 700 million people are now living in extreme poverty, jeopardizing three decades of progress.Rapid and globally coordinated resources and policies are needed to respond to current crises while preparing for the future. The Sustainable Development Goals investment gap in the Global South now stands at 4 trillion dollars per year, underlining the need for a urgent collective action and a more equitable resource redistribution.Although Official Development Assistance (ODA), is just one instrument among others to mobilize resources for development, it remains the only redistributive public policy capable of addressing global emergencies and meeting the needs of the most vulnerable populations.Since 2017, France has assumed a fair share of this effort. However, its ambition, which has been praised by its international partners, now appears to be undermined.Indeed, France has initiated a significant reversal in its Official Development Assistance policy since 2023. Over the course of two years, the French government’s budget for international solidarity is projected to undergo a reduction of upwards of two billion euros.In light of these developments, Focus 2030 has carried out an independent evaluation to assess the trends in France’s ODA policy since 2017. It analyzes the achievement of assigned objectives, planned reforms, modernization efforts and financial trajectories.This study reveals that French Official Development Assistance, when it supports high-impact instruments and projects and is not diverted from its intended purpose, is undoubtedly the most efficient public policy in terms of cost-benefit.Analysis. An active advocacy on the international stage, with mixed resultsSince 2017, France has spearheaded a series of international conferences, championing a multilateral response to global crises. Highlights include hosting the replenishment conferences of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the Green Climate Fund, co-chairing the Generation Equality Forum with Mexico, and in 2023, organizing the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, which led some sixty countries to support the Paris Pact for People and the Planet, a roadmap for reforming the international financial architecture to strengthen support for the fight against poverty and ensure the preservation of the planet.Despite these initiatives, the OECD recommends that France mobilize more resources to implement the decisions taken at these summits, and better align national actions with international commitments.By 2030, several multilateral events and replenishments, including the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development, the Nutrition For Growth Summit, the replenishments of IDA, Gavi, the Global Fund, Unitaid, and the Green Climate Fund, will provide France with the opportunity to consolidate its commitments to international solidarity. An ascending trajectory for French Official Development Assistance reversed since 2023In 1970, France, together with other industrialized countries, made a commitment to the United Nations, to allocate 0.7% of its national wealth to ODA. Despite the failure to reach this target, the trajectory initiated in 2018 was on an upward trajectory: the target of 0.55% was reached in 2022, and the objective of 0.7% was enshrined in the law in 2021, to be reached by 2025.However, this trajectory has been reversed, as illustrated by an 11% decrease in French ODA in 2023 (i.e. 1.6 billion euros less than in 2022), a renunciation the government confirmed in 2023 by pushing back to 2030 the target of allocating 0.7% of GNI to ODA. In February 2024, the French government made a 742 million euros cut in the ODA budget line, which represents the core of French ODA (-11%). Additionally, the finance bill for 2025 plans a further 23.3% cut compared to the 2024 budget, i.e. 1.3 billion euros.According to Focus 2030’s calculations, these reversals of recent gains represent almost 21.2 billion euros disinvested from international development between now and 2030. A significant support of multilateral instruments, welcomed by the OECD and backed by innovative financing mechanismsFrance allocates the majority of its ODA bilaterally (57%), but its significant use of the multilateral system is a notable distinction from other OECD countries. In 2023, 43% of its ODA was channeled multilaterally (6.1 billion euros), well above the average of DAC countries (25%). In 2022, almost half of France’s multilateral aid was channeled through the European Union budget.France is therefore among the major donors of a number of multilateral organizations and funds, including the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, Unitaid, the Green Climate Fund and the Global Partnership for Education.A distinctive feature of the French ODA, is that a part of these multilateral contributions is financed by the financial transaction tax (FTT) and the solidarity levy on airline tickets (TSBA), capped at 738 million euros each year. Various stakeholders point out that this amount could easily be multiplied up to five times, by optimizing the collection of these taxes, broadening their base and increasing earmarking for solidarity. However, the government plans to remove this earmarking as soon as 2025. Loans vs. grants: a gradual rebalancing in favor of grants to be continuedOfficial Development Assistance can be allocated either in the form of grants or concessional loans, i.e. with interest rates below the market rates. In 2021, France set a target of allocating 70% of its total ODA in the form of grants, a target that was exceeded as soon as it was adopted, reaching 88% in 2023. It nevertheless remains below the average of other donor countries (92%).France ranks 27th out of 31 countries, with 19 DAC countries allocating more than 98% of their ODA in the form of grants.Mechanically, France has made a substantial use of loans, 19% of its bilateral aid in 2023, well above the DAC average (4%). Moreover, the loans provided are

            [text] => In this timeline, you’ll find the key dates for development and climate financing in France and abroad between 2024 and 2030.With numerous replenishment cycles (Gavi, Global Fund, IDA...) crucial to the achievement of the SDGs, these 7 years will be an opportunity to accelerate efforts regarding climate and development financing and the target of 0.7% of GNI allocated to ODA. To view the timeline in full screen or download it, hover your mouse over the top right of the image and the share button will appear. What are the milestones for climate and development financing in the coming years? The replenishment conferences 📆 of the International Development Association (IDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2024, of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in 2025, of the Coalition for Innovative Pandemic Preparedness in 2026, of the Green Climate Fund in 2027.... These replenishments will all be opportunities to mobilize substantial funding for global health, climate, the fight against poverty - and, in fine, to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The Nutrition For Growth Summit (N4G) on March 27 and 28, 2025 📆 hosted by France, a global mobilization around SDG2 and SDG3 that aims to bring together governments, donors, business and civil society to make political and financial commitments to eradicate malnutrition worldwide. The 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) to be held from June 30 to July 3 in Seville, Spain 📆. Open to all UN member states, intergovernmental organizations, international financial institutions and civil society players, this meeting should enable the international community to find solutions to mobilize more financing to meet today’s global challenges and contribute to the reform of the international financial architecture.

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => 3 questions to Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli, President and CEO of the ONE Campaign Written interview received on September 17, 2024.Focus 2030 : The Summit of the Future, to be held on the sidelines of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly on September 22 and 23, will be a crucial moment to reinvigorate multilateralism and international cooperation to achieve the SDGs by 2030. What are your expectations of this Summit and the proposed “Pact for the Future” ? What actions should be implemented as a priority ?Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli : The ambition of the summit for the future is high. The great benefit of the UN’s convening power is that everyone has a voice. The greatest weakness is that everyone has an agenda - and so focus is the greatest challenge. Without focus you can’t achieve anything.What we can hope for is a level of consensus on some top priorities that activists around the world can use to push their governments to do more for our people and our planet.In my view these are addressing the debt crisis facing low and middle income countries, increasing concessional finance through fully funding International Development Association (IDA), the World Bank’s low income country fund, finishing the job on multilateral development bank reform, and investing in health - particularly Gavi, the vaccines alliance.There is an African proverb which says - ’If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others”. Given the sense of urgency and issues of our time, we must go fast and far together. ONE is committed to partnering with other organizations.We must leave our egos and logos at the door and work with integrity and excellence to fight for the investments and policies required to ensure healthy lives and economic growth in Africa. Focus 2030 : Rethinking the international financial architecture is one of the priorities envisioned in the “Pact for the Future”, to be endorsed by Member States during the Summit. A recent study by ONE revealed that due to debt service repayments, developing countries are projected to become net financial contributors to the rest of the world economy. What urgent actions should be implemented by the international community to address this issue and unlock funding for development issues such as health, education, and poverty reduction ?Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli : ONE’s data and analysis show that even though progress has been made to meet financing needs for development and climate priorities, much more needs to be done to fill the remaining gaps. Here’s our four-point plan :Increase official development assistance (ODA). ODA has been almost stagnant for a decade, rising just 0.06 percentage points of GNI between 2010 and 2023. High-income countries must prioritize aid budgets to help with global economic growth and climate adaptation, particularly in low-income and fragile states.Channel funds to where they have the most impact : Governments must ensure a robust replenishment for the World Bank’s International Development Association. Donors should increase commitments by at least 25% in total. This will allow low- and middle-income countries to access the low-cost financing they need to build healthy, resilient communities.Finish the job on reforming multilateral development banks (MDBs) : Hundreds of millions of additional dollars could be unlocked from the MDBs through reforms that cost limited additional investment. Progress has been made, but the governments that govern these banks (mostly high-income countries) should give greater value to callable capital, better reflect preferred creditor treatment, and enhance efforts to mobilize private capital.Unlock IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) : SDRs are a reserve asset that can boost resources for low- and middle-income countries at low cost. The US\$112 billion in SDRs that advanced economies have committed is welcome and will lead to increased lending through the IMF. But governments must unlock the potential of channeling SDRs through MDBs, where each dollar of SDRs could be leveraged to US\$4 and lent for maximum impact. Focus 2030 : What are the barriers to greater representation of African countries in international institutions, particularly financial ones, and how does this underrepresentation impact resource allocation for their economic and social development, as well as progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ?Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli : The barriers to greater representation of African countries in international financial institutions, like the world Bank and IMF include historical power imbalances, unequal voting rights, and entrenched governance structures that favor wealthier nations and smaller economies.African countries, along with other Global South nations, are significantly under-represented in the decision-making structures of the IMF and the World Bank based on design. Voting shares are based on the size and openness of economies, favoring wealthier countries such as the U.S., European nations, and Japan. Despite voting reforms in 2016, the U.S. retains veto power over critical decisions, solidifying the dominance of richer countries. For instance, China saw a slight increase in influence post-reform, but Africa’s voting power remained largely static, reflecting ongoing imbalances.Today, African countries hold only a fraction of the voting power—Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for less than 6% of IMF quotas despite being home to over 1.5 billion people (over 18% of global population).Economic Policy Conditionalities : The IMF and World Bank often attach stringent economic policy conditions to their loans, which can undermine the sovereignty and policy autonomy of African nations. For example, in 2017, the World Bank issued 434 'prior actions' required to access its loans, which often include macroeconomic policy reforms such as fiscal austerity, public sector cuts, and privatizationImplication for Development : Limited Decision-Making Power : African countries have less space to shape global financial policies that directly affect their economies given the dependence on financial rule from other more affluent countries. For example, SDR recycling to AfDB, while approved by the IMF board is constrained by the European Central Bank with rules that protect Europe even when it adversely impacts Africa. This lack of influence means that global financial policies may not align with Africa’s development needs, leading to ineffective support structures for issues like infrastructure financing, healthcare, or education.Unfair Distribution of Resources : African countries may not always receive the most favorable terms or the necessary financial assistance in times of crisis. The locus of production of critical products such as vaccines are housed in non-African countries who control supply after their needs have been met.Policy Disadvantage : As decision-making remains concentrated in the hands of developed countries, African countries often have little say in the policies attached to loans and assistance. These policies may not take into account local conditions and may further constrain Africa’s policy space.This financial inequality hinders their progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in areas like poverty reduction, education, and health, where significant investment is required. Addressing these disparities is crucial for more inclusive global economic governance and sustainable development.Increased representation in the governance of international institutions is key to the future of the continent. African leaders have continued to demand for better representation, including the reform of the IMF’s quota system, which allocates voting shares to member states. The opinions expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus

            [text] =>   Activer le son EditorialNo future ?The war in Ukraine, the escalating conflict in the Middle East, unrest in the Sahel, the tensions between the United States and China, the race for artificial intelligence, the rise of populism, are all undermining the ability of nations to collaborate effectively to address the great challenges humanity is facing.For a summer, the Olympic and Paralympic Games provided a powerful reminder of what a shared planet could look like. But the international community is fracturing from all sides. In this time of widespread mistrust, it is imperative to restore order to the planetary disorder at work, and to inspire confidence.With this in mind, the United Nations is organizing the Summit of the Future in New York on September 22 and 23, on the margins of the 79th General Assembly.The official program will include the adoption of a Pact for the Future and a Declaration for Future Generations, with the aim of launching a 'new dawn for multilateralism'. The aim is to re-mobilize the international community around the Sustainable Development Goals, the achievement of which is being undermined by the current polycrisis.Ultimately, the summit aims to revitalize an international community that has been reduced to a community in name only. This is evidenced by the multiplication of issues of disagreement : the inability to reform the half-century-old international financial institutions, the debt burden faced by developing countries, the adoption of a tax on the 'super-rich,' the instrumentalization of the veto in the Security Council to resolve ongoing conflicts, and a clear lack of ambition to address the climate emergency and prepare for future pandemics.At a time when billions are needed, an increasing number of donor countries, including France, are reducing their development aid in a general context of isolationism and cuts in public spending, widening the North-South divide.Ultimately, this international chaos is claiming many victims, not least the most vulnerable populations and countries, the planet and, ultimately, future generations, whose prospects are becoming bleaker by the day.And yet multilateralism has proved its worth and is the only possible option to ensure we meet the global challenges of today and tomorrow, and this perception is shared by our fellow citizens, as our recent opinion surveys show.For the planet, for youth, for future generations, now is not the time for isolation….but for multilateral action !

This high-level event will bring together UN Member States, civil society organizations, the private sector, and youth. The goal is to remobilize the international community around a shared vision and renewed institutions to address major global challenges amidst widespread distrust among nations.Ahead of the summit, on September 20-21, 'Action Days' will focus on the well-being of youth and future generations, as well as three priority themes : digital technology, peace and security, and sustainable development and its financing.What is the Summit of the future ? Who will take part in the Summit of the future ?Participation in the Summit of the Future is reserved for representatives of UN Member States and UN-accredited non-governmental organizations. Many heads of state and government have confirmed their presence. Speeches will be broadcast live via UN TV.What are the goals of the Summit of the Future ?As outlined in the Declaration for the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations, in 2020 and confirmed by the « Our common agenda ; » report published by the UN Secretary-General in 2021, the Summit of the Future aims to reassess and revitalize the multilateral system, making it more effective in addressing the major challenges facing the international community. It will build on the Sustainable Development Goals Summit in 2023 and is expected to lay the groundwork for important upcoming negotiations, including COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, in November and the Nutrition for Growth Summit hosted by France in March 2025, among others.The goals of the Summit of the Future include :Accelerating implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.Creating negotiating spaces to address major economic and financial challenges, such as the global debt crisis, especially in developing countries, by considering more appropriate mechanisms and rethinking the international financial architecture.Strengthening international cooperation for sustainable development and adapting multilateral mechanisms by reforming institutions such as the UN Security Council or the Human Rights Council.Better addressing youth and future generations by deepening the UN’s engagement with youth and ensuring that current decisions respect the rights of future generations, notably by appointing a special envoy. Program and themes : On the road to UN2.0 ?The Summit of the Future will focus on adapting the multilateral system to today’s global realities by addressing a key question : What kind of a world do we want to leave behind for future generations ? In order to answer this question, the Summit will bring together Heads of State and Government, international organizations, and a wide range of civil society organizations. Discussions will focus on the themes of the Pact for the Future. This document will be adopted by the UN Member States at the end of the Summit.Prepared ahead of the Summit, it proposes a framework for ensuring robust and effective international cooperation for decades to come, renewing a system nearly 80 years old. It is based on five main pillars :– Sustainable Development and Financing for Development.– Peace and Security.– Science, technology and innovation (STI) a

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => 3 questions to Marina Ponti, Global Director, United Nations SDG Action Campaign Written interview received on September 17, 2024.Focus 2030 : With multilateralism in crisis and only 16% of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on track, according to the latest United Nations report, there is an urgency to act. In this challenging context, how can citizens engage in concrete and meaningful ways to ensure their voices are heard and actively contribute to shaping policies and accelerating the achievement of the SDGs ? Marina Ponti : As you rightly pointed, the SDGs are off track and although the lack of SDG progress is universal, developing countries and the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people are bearing the brunt of our collective failure. We cannot simply continue doing the same and expect a different result.Today’s challenges are indicative of a flawed global architecture – one that was designed for a world that no longer exists, and is too short-sighted, crisis-prone, and deeply unequal. Therefore, today’s challenges require strong multilateral institutions and frameworks, and effective mechanisms of global governance that are responsive to those challenges. The way forward must be built on shared goals and a common vision.Achieving such transformative change and working towards systemic reforms may seem an overwhelming task. However, at the UN SDG Action Campaign, we believe that with each day, with each choice, we create the world to come. If most people made choices aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, change would happen fast - taking us to a world that works for people and planet. Choices include how we vote. And with 3.7 billion people getting to vote this year, the stakes have never been higher. In a world of crises and divisions, youth’s vote matters more than ever. And it can help strengthen governance systems that protect rights, embrace inclusion and build trust for a better future where every voice counts.There is a lot that each citizen can do to make a difference. First, we suggest everyone to connect with civil society and NGOs in your own communities. Civil society has proven to be a major driving force for systemic transformation towards the vision set in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. They play a critical role in policy formulation, especially by ensuring the participation of the marginalized, disempowered and excluded groups at the local, national, regional, and global levels. By connecting with civil society and supporting these groups, people can make their voice heard and at the same time foster inclusion of other vulnerable members of society.In addition, we would like to encourage people to engage with the UN’s ActNow Campaign. In the AWorld in support of ActNow mobile app, they can track actions for the Sustainable Development Goals and see the impacts they are making, both in terms of the number of actions taken as well as environmental metrics such as CO2, water and electricity saved. By taking small individual actions for our common goals, such as a healthy planet, a just society or a better economy, they can become part of a worldwide effort to act for our common future and accelerate change.Finally, we want to ask everyone to make an important choice today : to hope. Because hope is brave, not naive. Hope is action, without delay. Together, we can work towards a world where people in all their diversity can thrive, and our magnificent planet continues to nurture life as we know it. Focus 2030 : One of the major objectives of decision-making processes such as the Summit of the Future is to amplify the voices of youth and ensure that today’s decisions respect the rights of future generations. What role can young people play in mobilizing for transformational change and shaping policy discussions on creating a more inclusive multilateral system ?Marina Ponti : Our world is currently home to 1.9 billion young people between the ages of 10 to 24, the largest generation of young people in its history. The majority of them live in developing countries, and their numbers are expected to continue to grow. Therefore, it is clear that we won’t achieve the SDGs if we don’t empower young people and make sure they have access to the opportunities they need to fulfil their potential. Young people are a driving force in increasing the resilience of their communities, proposing innovative solutions, driving social progress and inspiring political transformation.In 2024, youth have played an important role in the preparation of the Pact for the Future and Declaration on Future Generations. They made their voices heard in fora such as the 2024 ECOSOC Youth Forum, the 2024 United Nations Civil Society Conference, and various other consultations in the lead up to the Summit of the Future. However, as the UN Secretary-General António Guterres has powerfully reminded us in a statement in January, the existing “institutions and frameworks of global governance, from the Security Council to the Bretton Woods system, were created 80 years ago. We can’t build a future for our grandchildren with a system built for our grandparents.” This also means establishing more systematic and formal processes to meaningfully integrate young people into national and international policymaking and decision-making processes so that they are fully empowered and can make their voices heard. Therefore, the United Nations created a dedicated UN Youth Office that champions and advocates for young people everywhere and harmonizes the ways the United Nations works with and for young people in all their diversity. By fostering multi-stakeholder intergenerational solidarity, the office’s work focuses on strengthening meaningful, inclusive and effective youth engagement in the areas of sustainable development, human rights, and peace and security.Beyond the national and international level, we would also like to highlight the transformative actions many young people around the world are already taking at the grassroots level. Every year, the UN SDG Action Campaign organizes its signature SDG Action Awards Programmethat champions initiatives and committed individuals who are wielding the power of creativity and innovation to bring us closer to a more sustainable, equitable and peaceful world. And many of the Awards Alumni are powerful young leaders. The Masungi georeserve, a 2022 UN SDG Action Awards Winner and led by youth, became one of the largest collaborative reforestation efforts in the Philippines while also shifting public policies in the country. The Youth Parliament, a 2023 UN SDG Action Awards Finalist, brought together young people in the Brazilian city of Matão who generated public policy recommendations that directly influenced the work of the municipal legislature, approving laws and measures that promote sustainable development.The work of these powerful youth initiatives sends us a message of hope. Young people are the ‘torchbearers’ of the 2030 Agenda, and their energy, creativity, and fresh perspectives are essential for shaping a sustainable and inclusive future for all.

            [text] => The consequences of climate change, poverty, growing inequalities, malnutrition, armed conflicts, and pandemics are challenges that must be addressed for the benefit of current and future generations. However, international cooperation, reliant on a fragile balance of power, is currently undermined by numerous ongoing conflicts.In this context, the United Nations General Assembly will organize the 'Summit of the Future' on September 22-23, 2024, bringing together states, civil society organizations, the private sector, and youth.Titled 'Summit of the Future: Multilateral Solutions for a Better Future', this Summit will reaffirm commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the United Nations Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Paris Agreement, and the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development.Summit of the Future: Keeping Promises for Future GenerationsIn a declaration adopted on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the United Nations in September 2020, ember States recognized that 'the world envisioned by the founders of the UN 75 years ago has not yet materialized.'Acknowledging this, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres’s report 'Our Common Agenda' (2021) calls for a multi-stakeholder meeting aimed at taking concrete measures to address future challenges based on multilateralism, i.e., adherence to a method of international cooperation founded on a shared system of norms and values.The report also highlights the underrepresentation of young people and future generations in global decision-making, noting that by 2030, 60% of the world’s population will live in cities, with over half of these urban dwellers being under 18 years old. The Summit intends to explore the possibility of appointing a UN Special Envoy for Future Generations, an option long advocated by the World Future Council. The UN should also create a foresight lab to better predict the impact of public policies over time. The Summit for the Future is the culmination of decades of international meetings for a sustainable future :1972, Conference on the Human Environment, Sweden : 179 countries met to reconcile the impact of socio-economic activities and the environment.1992, United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil : adoption of a declaration granting rights and responsibilities to countries regarding the environment.2000, Millenium Summit, New York, United States : adoption of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).2012 : 1st Youth Forum organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).2013 : 1st World Bank Youth Summit.2015, United Nations Sustainable Development Summit: adoption of the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.2021 : First World Youth Summit of the IUCN 2023 : 2nd United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Summit September 22-23, 2024, Summit of the Future, New York. Key Issues of the SummitThe objective of this Summit is to agree on a final document entitled 'Pact for the Future' to be adopted by consensus following intergovernmental negotiations and endorsed by Heads of State and Government during the Summit. The Pact for the Future will address the following issues :Global economic and financial architecture Human rights and participation Sustainable Development Goals Global Digital Compact Effective environmental governance Peace and security The UN and innovation in global governanceIn preparation for the Summit, a 60-member UN commission published in February 2023 the Maastricht Principles on the Human Rights of Future Generations, stating that human rights such as the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment have no generational limits.The UN Secretary-General has issued eleven guidance notes detailing the proposals of 'Our Common Agenda' to help Member States prepare for the Summit:A New Agenda for Peace : focusing on conflict prevention globally, an updated approach to peace operations, and a stronger collective security mechanism.A global financial system that works for everyone : an international financial architecture that invests in the SDGs, climate action, and future generations.Economic indicators beyond GDP to cover what is needed for prosperity, human well-being, and environmental protection.A pact to harness the benefits of digital technologies and artificial intelligence and manage their risks.A voluntary code of conduct on online information integrity, often used for misinformation and hate.New protocols to better manage global shocks.Enhanced cooperation in outer space : more inclusive space governance.A transformation of education systems : recognizing education as a global public good and supporting commitments made at the 2022 Transforming Education Summit.Genuine inclusion of youth in global decision-making through national youth advisory bodies and means for youth participation in UN decision-making processes, and a permanent UN youth forum.Means to preserve the future and uphold the rights of future generations.A 'UN 2.0' to improve UN expertise in innovation, data, digital, strategic foresight, and behavioral sciences.The UN Civil Society Conference held in Nairobi from May 9-10, 2024, brought together 3,600 civil society representatives, 64 governments, and a hundred journalists. Young participants aged 18 to 34, who made up 40% of the attendees, placed climate at the center of concerns. Participants also called for 'raising the bar for multilateralism' to ensure a participatory and inclusive process ahead of the Summit for the Future.On June 17-18, SDSN Portugal held an international conference titled 'Paving the Way to the Pact for the Future'. This hybrid conference addressed several UN agenda themes in preparation for the Summit, focusing on challenges for achieving a sustainable future, educational transformation, youth involvement in decision-making and policy development, and valuing indicators beyond GDP.Campaigns and Mobilizations Ahead of the Summit of the Future A limited number of side events, organized by UN member states, international organizations, and other stakeholders, will take place on September 20-21. Ahead of this international gathering, civil society organizations are mobilizing for youth involvement in political decision-making.  The

            [descriptif] => Dr. Sania Nishtar highlights the key role played by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in progress in access to vaccination, and the challenges remaining to achieve full and equitable vaccination coverage.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Ahead of the launch of the 2026-2030 Gavi Investment Opportunity, on 20 June in Paris, Focus 2030 wishes to highlight the key issues around global immunization in a special edition.  Interview with Dr. Sania Nishtar, CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine AllianceFocus 2030 : Together with the African Union and Gavi, France will co-host the Global Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation in Paris on June 20. On this occasion, Gavi will launch its investment opportunity for the years 2026-2030 and present its funding requirements. What are the objectives of this Forum? Who will be taking part? Dr Sania Nishtar:The event will mark the launch of Gavi’s 2026–2030 Investment Opportunity (IO), which will outline the projected impact of the Alliance’s next five years of work, clarify the funding required to support this effort, and make the case to donors to invest in the future of immunisation. Since its founding in 2000, Gavi has vaccinated over a billion children, saved more than 17 million lives and helped halve child mortality in 78 countries. But with five years remaining until the deadline of the Sustainable Development Goals, more needs to be done. 1.5 million children still die every year from vaccine preventable diseases. To do that, we need to keep our existing programmes running and continue to evolve to meet countries needs. We want to be more ambitious than ever, because that’s what is required to meet countries’ needs and challenges such as climate change and fragility.Gavi’s new strategy will offer the widest portfolio of vaccines in its history, preventing against 20+ diseases, up from just six in 2000. We’ll aim to protect more people faster than ever before. We will also continue to play a key role in global health security, by providing the largest ever set of emergency stockpiles in response to rising outbreaks of deadly diseases like cholera, Ebola, meningitis and yellow fever. A \$2.5bn Day Zero Financing Facility backed by innovative finance will form part of world’s emergency response toolkit for the next pandemic.We are making the case that in a complex world, investing in immunisation is a must-have, not a nice-to-have. Climate Change is creating the conditions for vaccine preventable diseases to spread in lower-income countries, whilst the rising use of antibiotics is causing record cases of AMR – 50% of the vaccines in Gavi’s portfolio help countries adapt and respond to these twin threats.And of course, partnerships are at the heart of Gavi. Working alongside other actors in global health, Gavi will help countries strengthen health systems and unlock wider benefits. Combining vaccines with nutrition programs will reduce food insecurity. Empowering local actors and a gender-focused approach to immunisation will target hard-to-reach communities. By 2030, we will look to reach more people and families, more often with immunisation and primary health care.The event will also be the launch of the African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator (AVMA), a unique US\$1 billion innovative financing mechanism designed by Gavi in close collaboration with the African Union, Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), G7 and G20, to support a sustainable vaccine manufacturing ecosystem on the African continent.And we will be doing this in the presence of several Heads of State and Ministers, including from Africa, who will join President Macron, AUC Chair Moussa Faki, and our Board Chair, former EU President and former Prime Minister of Portugal, Professor Jose Manuel Barroso, in Paris. The event will also be attended by leaders from international organisations such as WHO and UNICEF as well as from civil society, industry, government, and the private sector. In other words, a full representation of our Vaccine Alliance. Focus 2030 : Gavi’s next funding cycle will end in 2030, the target date for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A recent WHO-led study revealed that vaccination has saved at least 154 million lives over the last fifty years. To what extent could an ambitious replenishment of the organization you lead help to make up for the setbacks in global health since the Covid-19 pandemic? Which vaccines could make the difference in delivering on the 2030 Agenda? Dr Sania Nishtar:Vaccines have indeed saved at least 1 life every 6 seconds for the past half century. I say at least, because that WHO study only looked at 11 vaccines, and Gavi’s current portfolio offers vaccines against 20 infectious diseases – and this will expand in the next strategic period. Vaccines truly are one of humanity’s greatest achievements, and one of the most cost-effective and impactful health and development interventions we have available to us today. They are a critical tool to make progress against the sustainable development goals.Building on more than two decades of progress that has seen child deaths in the countries we work go down by a remarkable 70%, in our next strategic period, our goal is to accelerate that progress: reach more people, with more vaccines, faster than ever before. We will vaccinate hundreds of millions of children by 2030, saving millions more lives in the world’s poorest countries. The core of Gavi’s new strategy will remain the introduction and scale up of vaccines. This period will offer the widest portfolio in Gavi’s history, increasing coverage of traditional childhood vaccines whilst also expanding access to the most impactful tools and latest breakthroughs and innovations.For example, more young women and girls than ever will be protected from cervical cancer with the HPV vaccine, and millions more children will receive the new malaria vaccine once it is rolled out at scale. This is a game changing new tool against an age-old disease which can help reduce overall child mortality by up to 13%.Gavi’s traditional vaccine programmes play a foundational role in global health security. Immunisation systems are a first line of defence to stop dangerous pathogens from crossing borders, and we’ll continue to make investments that strengthen health systems’ ability to detect, respond and remain resilient in the face of threats. We’ll also be making our largest ever investments into emergency stockpiles that will help countries respond to rising numbers of deadly disease outbreaks like cholera, Ebola and yellow fever. Further, around half of the vaccines in Gavi’s portfolio will protect people from the twin-threats of climate change and antimicrobial resistance, and support countries to adapt to this new reality.By 2030 Gavi will facilitate more than a billion touchpoints between families and health services. This will require integrating immunisation more deeply into primary healthcare – working tirelessly alongside new and existing partners in new ways to strengthen health systems, reach more women and zero dose children and unlock wider benefits, including for health security.And through it all, Gavi donors and implementing countries will continue to enjoy the unparalleled return on investment of vaccines, supported by Gavi’s unique innovative, efficient, and sustainable funding model. We’ll be using our market shaping skills to lower vaccine prices, and implementing countries will continue to contribute to the cost of immunisation programmes – supporting the overall push towards sustainability. Focus 2030 : The African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator (AVMA) will be launched on this occasion. Drawing on the lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic, this innovative mechanism will provide financial support for regional vaccine production and contribute to the African continent’s vaccine sovereignty. To what extent will the AVMA be a game-ch

Can you tell us about your organization’s mission and your expectations of the Forum ?Dr. Jean Kaseya : Africa CDC is a continental and autonomous health agency of the African Union established to support Member States’ public health initiatives and strengthen the capacity of their public health institutions to detect, prevent, control, and respond quickly and effectively to disease threats. Its sole mission is Safeguarding Africa’s Health.The 37th AU Assembly has entrusted Africa CDC with the leadership role in manufacturing vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics, and other health products. It has also tasked us with establishing and managing the African Pooled Procurement Mechanism (APPM) to bolster African manufacturing and ensure equitable access to medicines, vaccines, and diagnostics. In 2022, Africa CDC developed the Framework for Action (FFA), a 20-year strategy to support the manufacturing of vaccines on the continent.The African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator will strongly contribute to the African Union’s Platform for Harmonized African Health Products Manufacturing (PHAHM) ambition to manufacture at least 60% of the total vaccine doses required on the continent by 2040. It will also support a global effort to strengthen African health sovereignty at all times, including for pandemic preparedness and response. The AVMA builds upon Gavi’s groundwork in equity and innovation in immunization.The Global Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation will see a congregation of Heads of State from both Africa and outside of Africa, Vaccine Manufacturers from Africa and Global, International Organizations, UN Agencies, Development Finance Institutions, Philanthropies, CSOs with a single mission of charting collective action to safeguard the well-being of the future generations. We expect the Forum to be a venue to renew the commitment of the global community to invest in and support vaccine manufacturing in Africa to ensure the health security of the 1.4 billion African population. The sustainability of African vaccine manufacturing is tied up with continued investment and strong political support. The forum is expected to address the two issues. In addition, the forum will be a vehicle for Gavi Investment Opportunity, where funding for the overall Gavi mission and operation will be raised. Focus 2030 : The recent COVID-19 pandemic was a striking illustration of the impact that a vaccine production shortfall can have on a geographical area amid a global health crisis. The African continent accounts for 0.2% of global vaccine production, with 13 pharmaceutical companies, even though it is home to 20% of the world’s population. The Global Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation will provide an opportunity to launch the Accelerator for Vaccine Production in Africa (AVMA) to address these inequalities. To what extent could this initiative represent a paradigm shift in global health and development for the continent ?Dr. Jean Kaseya : The COVID-19 pandemic showed us the huge shortfalls in African vaccine manufacturing. Africa was left behind the world in accessing life-saving vaccines during the pandemic, even if the required finance was available. This was why the African Union Heads of States and Governments established a bold ambition under Partnerships for African Vaccine Manufacturing (PAVM) to develop a framework for Africa to manufacture 60 percent of its vaccine needs locally by 2040.In 2022, the Africa CDC developed the Framework for Action (FFA) to support vaccine manufacturing in Africa. 23 manufacturing projects were identified in the continent, with 9 already operating commercial-scale vaccine facilities and 3 facilities set to produce 8 vaccines to supply the continent between 2025 and 2030.Sustainable African manufacturing will ensure health security and promote economic development and job creation. This is why we say local manufacturing is Africa’s second independence.Africa CDC is working to ensure well-coordinated support for vaccine manufacturers to facilitate timely access to African-made vaccines. In the area of diagnostics, Africa imports over 80% of Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs), and partners such as the Global Fund, PEPFAR, and others have committed to supporting African manufacturers. Efforts to support the procurement of HIV and malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) are underway. Africa CDC and other partners are also working to assist African manufacturers of anti-malarial medicine in meeting regulatory approval and standards to ensure sufficient supply to the continent and international purchase of high-quality products made in Africa.The AVMA, developed by GAVI in partnership with the Africa CDC and other stakeholders, directly enhances the above-explained efforts. Practical support and strategic investments will speed up the establishment of a sustainable vaccine manufacturing ecosystem on the continent.As an innovative financing mechanism supporting African manufacturers in producing quality products and supplying the African and global markets, AVMA will bring a paradigm shift. The intentional decision to preferentially promote vaccine Drug Substance production over the last stage of Fill and Finish will also ensure sustainability. Because of the AVMA financing, the vaccine manufactured in Africa will be price competitive to the ones manufactured by the more established manufacturers globally. Thus, the African population will have a predictable supply of vaccines during the pandemic and routine vaccines. This eventually will greatly contribute to improving the health of the African population. GAVI and AVMA serve as great examples of the importance and influence of alliances. Vaccine and medical manufacturing involve various sectors, disciplines, and countries. Therefore, we applaud the strong support from the Government of France and the commitment of the GAVI Alliance. Alliances are crucial for success, such as the G20 Alliance for Regional Manufacturing and Innovation proposed by the current G20 Chair, Brazil, which we fully support as Africa. Focus 2030 : On June 20th, Gavi will detail its investment opportunity to fund vaccine access and strengthen health systems over the next five years. In your opinion, which vaccines and which areas should receive priority support to meet the needs of the people of the African continent ?Dr. Jean Kaseya : In Africa, we recognize the critical importance of Gavi’s investment in vaccines and health systems. We recommend prioritizing several key vaccines and strategic areas to meet the continent’s needs.Malaria vaccines should be a top priority, especially in high-burden regions, to save lives and reduce the disease’s prevalence. HPV vaccines are crucial for preventing cervical cancer, a sign

            [text] => Ahead of the launch of the 2026-2030 Gavi Investment Opportunity, on 20 June in Paris, Focus 2030 wishes to highlight the key issues around global immunization in a special edition.   Interview with Pr. Yasmine Belkaid, President of the Institut PasteurFocus 2030 : Institut Pasteur has been an internationally recognized player in the fight against infectious diseases since its creation in 1887. Today, Institut Pasteur is working to prevent more than 60 diseases. What role does your organization play in vaccine research today ? What is the most promising research and what avenues are you planning to explore in the years ahead ? Yasmine Belkaid : Institut Pasteur has been an internationally recognized player in the fight against infectious diseases since it was founded in 1887. Our organization plays a crucial role in vaccine research, focusing on at least three priority areas.On the one hand, we develop new vaccines : we are actively involved in the research and development of new vaccines against infectious diseases for which there are currently no effective vaccines, such as Lassa fever, shigellosis or tuberculosis.On the other hand, we are improving the efficacy and safety of existing vaccines through research.Finally, we work to strengthen vaccine capacities, by developing new formulations and optimizing production methods to make vaccines more accessible and affordable. And we help those involved in the research and development of new vaccines in many countries around the world, particularly in the South, by developing local capacities : as a member of the Pasteur Network, a network of research organizations in over 30 countries that contribute to improving global health, we work to strengthen vaccine research and production capacities in low- and middle-income countries. This includes training vaccinology researchers, improving research infrastructure and promoting international partnerships in a spirit of partnership. Focus 2030 : Unequal access to vaccines for the countries that need them most was clearly demonstrated during the recent Covid-19 pandemic. The limited resources devoted to research into the most widespread diseases in developing countries, and the extent to which vaccines are deployed in the poorest countries, are a stark reminder that market forces accentuate the inequalities between rich and poor countries. Can you tell us about the obstacles research institutes face in financing their vaccine research ? Yasmine Belkaid : To answer this question, it is important to understand the many obstacles that research institutes face in financing their vaccine research, particularly in developing countries.I’m thinking first of all of financial reasons. Many countries suffer from a lack of public and private funding. Governments in developing countries often have limited budgets for healthcare research and development (R&D). Public funding is often insufficient to support the high costs of vaccine research. The private sector may also be reluctant to invest in research into diseases that mainly affect poor countries, as the return on investment is perceived as low due to these countries’ low purchasing power. In addition, the financial risks are high. The research and development of new vaccines is an expensive and risky process. They require heavy investment of time and resources, with no guarantee of success. Pharmaceutical companies are often reluctant to invest in high-risk projects without some form of financial support or guarantee. Moreover, there are inequalities in international funding. International and philanthropic funding programs, while important, do not always fully bridge the financial gap. The priorities of international donors do not always correspond to specific local needs, creating mismatches between available funding and research requirements on the ground. Funding mechanisms such as grants and loans can also be complex and difficult to obtain for research laboratories in developing countries.But there are also many other factors at play, particularly in the field of infrastructure and equipment. Research infrastructures are limited in many parts of the world. In particular, in many developing countries, research infrastructure, including laboratories and the necessary equipment, is insufficient or obsolete. This limits the ability of local researchers to conduct advanced studies and develop new vaccines. The lack of research centers and qualified personnel also hinders the progress of research projects. I’m also thinking of limited access to technologies and materials. Researchers in developing countries may find it difficult to access the cutting-edge technologies and materials needed for vaccine research. This may include restrictions due to intellectual property rights, or simply a lack of financial resources to purchase the necessary technologies. International collaborations, while important, can be difficult to establish and maintain, not least because of bureaucratic and logistical barriers.To overcome these obstacles, an integrated and collaborative approach is essential, involving partnerships between the public and private sectors, increased investment by governments and international donors, and initiatives to strengthen local research and infrastructure capacities. These combined efforts can help reduce inequalities in access to vaccines and improve public health in developing countries. Focus 2030 : The African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator (AVMA), to be officially launched by Gavi on June 20 in Paris, aims to promote and develop vaccine production on the continent, helping to achieve the goal of African countries producing and supplying over 60% of the continent’s vaccine needs by 2040. To date, the African continent has only 13 vaccine producers, able to meet 1% of the continent’s demand. Gavi will also make its financial needs known to the international community in order to accelerate access to vaccination for the greatest number of people and strengthen health systems by 2030. To what extent do you think these initiatives, which complement research, will be able to meet the challenge and contribute to the achievement of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 ?  Yasmine Belkaid : The launch of the African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator (AVMA) is an excellent initiative in its own right, and for the complementarity it will create with existing initiatives.First and foremost, this initiative will help strengthen local production capacity. At present, Africa produces only around 1% of the vaccines it needs, making it extremely dependent on imports. By increasing local production capacity to 60% by 2040, the AVMA will make a significant contribution to the continent’s health security, reducing the time and costs associated with importing vaccines. This increased capacity will make it easier to respond to local health emergencies, such as epidemics, by ensuring rapid and appropriate access to the vaccines needed. Within the Pasteur Network, Institut Pasteur Dakar, Institut Pasteur de Tunis and Institut Pasteur Maroc are already actively contributing to local manufacturing initiatives. Institut Pasteur Dakar and Institut Pasteur Tunis are WHO messenger RNA technology transfer centers.The AVMA will also help strengthen healthcare systems. Indeed, a robust healthcare system is essential for the efficient distribution of vaccines and to ensure high immunization coverage. The initiative will help to improve healthcare infrastructures, train medical staff and set up efficient, resilient supply chains. Within the Pasteur Network, where these institutes represent major public health players for their countries and regions, strengthening diagnostics is essential.I also expect a great deal from complementarities with research. Vaccine production initiatives must be closely aligned with research efforts to develop new vaccines. This includes research into diseases pre

            [text] =>   Unmute EditorialDespite the international community’s commitment to ensuring universal access to health by 2030, vaccine inequity persists.Even today, at least 2 million people still die every year from diseases that could be prevented by vaccination.Globally, 14.5 million children have not received any routine vaccines, rising to one in five children in low-income countries.At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic,  70%  of vaccines were administered in wealthy countries, as opposed to 0.3% in the poorest countries.The African continent has only 13 vaccine-manufacturing companies, covering at most1% of its population’s needs and making it dependent on the goodwill of other nations.These vaccine inequities impact the lives of millions of children, women and families worldwide and reinforce the North-South divide. Unequal access to vaccines also creates the conditions for the emergence of pandemics, with well-known knock-on consequences.And yet vaccination is one of the most cost-effective solutions for improving the health and future of populations.Over the past 50 years, vaccines have helped prevent at least 154 million deaths worldwide, thanks to progress in research and international cooperation.This action in favor of equitable access to vaccines must be continued and strengthened.This is precisely the mission of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, an international partnership that aims to support the vaccination of 500 million children between 2026 and 2030. At the Global Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation, co-organised on 20 June 2024 in Paris by France, the African Union and Gavi, the partnership announced that 9 billion dollars would be needed to achieve its mission.The Forum also saw the launch of the African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator (AVMA), an initiative aimed at producing vaccines 'made in Africa'.Until 25 June 2025, the date of Gavi’s final replenishment conference, efforts will be made to meet the financial needs identified in June 2024 and thus accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in health.Will France and the international community rise to the occasion ?Discover our special report on vaccine inequity around the world. ContentsGlobal Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation : an overviewThe state of global vaccine inequity: facts and figuresWhat is Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance ?Mobilizing funding for Gavi to achieve global health objectives by 2030AVMA: Supporting African Vaccine Manufacturing and strengthening health sovereigntyExclusive interviews with leading expertsCivil society mobilizes against vaccine inequalitiesCitizens’ opinions on vaccination and international solidarity in healthClosing the vaccination gap, key to achieving the Sustainable Development GoalsTimeline of global health events The Global Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation: an overviewOn 20 June 2024 in Paris, France, the African Union and Gavi organized the launch event for Gavi’s replenishment campaign. The Alliance presented its funding requirements for the period 2026-2030, aimed at fighting at least 20 diseases and support access to immunization programs in 54 countries.Gavi’s 2026-2030 Investment Opportunity details the need for \$9 billion, including \$1.7 billion for the International Finance Facility for Immunization (IFFIm), to immunize an additional 500 million children by 2030, saving 8 to 9 million lives.3.4 billion dollars have already been pledged by contributing governments and philanthropic organizations, including 1.58 billion from the United States and at least 813 million from France. The Gavi replenishment will continue until mid-2025, and public and private donors are invited to announce their financial contributions. The final high-level pledging summit will be co-hosted in Brussels by the European Union and the Gates Foundation on 25 June, 2025. The Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation also marked the launch of the AVMA (African Vaccine Manufacturing Accelerator) initiative, which aims to support the African continent in producing its own vaccines. As part of this initiative, commitments of \$1.2 billion to AVMA were confirmed by the international community, including \$318 million from Germany, \$233 million from the European Commission, \$150 million from Italy, \$150 million from the United States and \$100 million from France. Around \$1 billion of these commitments came from the reallocation of funds initially earmarked for the Covax initiative, which ended at the end of 2023. The state of global vaccine inequities: facts and figuresIn the last 50 years, vaccines have helped to avert at least 154 million deaths worldwide.

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Ahead of the launch of the 2026-2030 Gavi Investment Opportunity, on 20 June in Paris, Focus 2030 wishes to highlight the key issues around global immunization in a special edition.   Interview with Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health OrganizationFocus 2030 : The World Health Organization (WHO) is a founding member of the Alliance and a permanent member of the Gavi Board. Could you detail the implication of WHO in Gavi and more broadly the role of WHO in access to vaccines around the world ? Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus : WHO plays a critical role to deliver on the Alliance’s mission to save lives and protect health by increasing equitable and sustainable use of vaccines. The Gavi strategy is based on Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030), the decade-long vision and goals for immunization that every country endorsed at the World Health Assembly in 2020. Across each of Gavi’s strategic goals, WHO contributes leadership and technical expertise at the global, regional and country levels. WHO is the lead technical agency in the Alliance.WHO has played a key role in expanding access to immunization for 50 years, through the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), though which every country has developed and implemented a national immunization programme with universally-recommend safe and effective vaccines. When EPI was launched in 1974, fewer than 5% of the world’s children were vaccinated. Today that number stands at 84%.WHO’s vaccine prequalification service is the stamp of approval for safety and efficacy on which Gavi relies for the vaccines it buys. As a result, more people are reached with quality vaccines because immunization programme managers can plan, select and buy appropriate products for their national immunization schedules. But our work doesn’t stop there. Even when vaccines are prequalified, we regularly re-evaluate, test and investigate any product complaints or adverse events following immunization so that countries and communities have the confidence that vaccines are safe and effective.WHO also establishes global immunization strategies and policies to drive national, regional and global immunization coverage and work towards eliminating or eradicating vaccine-preventable diseases. For example, in 2022, more than 14 million children did not receive a single dose of vaccine. Working together with Alliance partners under IA2030, WHO is working with our Member States to halve that number by 2030. Likewise, global disease elimination strategies developed and implemented by WHO, such as the Defeating meningitis by 2030 global road map and the Eliminate yellow fever epidemics (EYE) strategy, aim to control, eliminate and eradicate vaccine-preventable diseases.WHO also plays an important role in research and innovation, by assessing, prioritizing and monitoring the development and licensure of high-impact vaccines and immunization delivery innovations. Our TB Vaccine Accelerator Council is one such example. The Council will facilitate the licensing and use of new TB vaccines, by aligning funders, agencies, governments and end users in identifying and overcoming barriers to TB vaccine development.Vaccine pricing plays a huge role in supply, equitable access and decision-making at both the national and global level. Through programmes like our Market Information for Access Initiative (MI4A) we regularly analyze and report on global vaccine market dynamics in order to enhance access to vaccines, especially for countries that benefit from limited international support. Initiatives like MI4A are one area where we help countries and partners identify needs, risks and opportunities to assure sustainable vaccine supply and financing. Focus 2030 : WHO recently released a study published in the Lancet concluding that immunization efforts over the past 50 years have saved an estimated 154 million lives. What drove this progress, according to WHO ? Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus : Vaccines are among the most powerful inventions in history. According to the recent WHO-led study published in the Lancet, we found that in the past 50 years immunization was the single greatest contribution of any health intervention to ensuring babies not only see their first birthdays but continue leading healthy lives into adulthood. Thanks to vaccines, smallpox has been eradicated, polio is on the brink, and many once-feared diseases can now be easily prevented, including measles, cervical cancer, yellow fever, pneumonia and diarrhoea. And, with the recent development of vaccines against diseases like malaria, we expect millions more lives to be saved in the future.What started as a global vision 50 years ago for vaccinating all children against diphtheria, measles, pertussis, polio, tetanus, and tuberculosis, as well as smallpox, has turned into a life-saving programme reaching beyond children to adolescents and adults.Today, thanks to these efforts, every country has a well-established immunization programme, often with support from WHO, UNICEF, and our partners. Additionally, through a unique public-private partnership between WHO, Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Gates Foundation and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the world stands on the brink of eradicating polio.The creation of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, added another dimension to EPI’s success by providing international support to lower-income countries to enable the broader introduction of a range of new vaccines. Over the past 50 years, we have witnessed the development and introduction of new and under-utilized vaccines targeting diseases like pneumococcal infections, rotavirus, HPV, meningitis A, Japanese encephalitis and malaria – further contributing to even more lives saved in the most vulnerable parts of the world.However, our greatest partners are health workers around the world. Vaccines do not deliver themselves. They require the dedication of trained health and care workers to reach the most remote locations, and it is through their efforts that 84% of infants globally are vaccinated, up from just 5% when we founded EPI.Finally, innovations through EPI, such as injection safety practices, creation of the cold chain, and solar power integration in health facilities, have extended the reach and impact of immunization programmes to benefit other health programmes, including in responding to health crises.Today, there are vaccines to protect against more than 30 life-threatening diseases. With continued partnership, research, and investment, we can save millions more lives in the next 50 years, and beyond. Focus 2030 : The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG3 related to access to health, are to be met by 2030. Yet, current estimates indicate that the world is off track on the SDGs. What key interventions would be needed to accelerate progress ? Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus : In the first five years of the SDG era, we

            [text] => Ahead of the launch of the 2026-2030 Gavi Investment Opportunity, on 20 June in Paris, Focus 2030 wishes to highlight the key issues around global immunization in a special edition.  Interview with Rafael Vilasanjuan, Director of Policy and Global Development at ISGlobalFocus 2030 : ISGlobal has been actively involved since its inception in the fight against under-funded diseases affecting the poorest countries. As a close observer of the global health architecture for the last 20 years, what is in your opinion the added value of Gavi, the Vaccine alliance ? What has been its impact so far ? Rafael Vilasanjuan : The Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) gave path to the golden era of Global Health. After the 90s and the aids pandemic, the link between development and health was defined as a major layer to close the equity gap worldwide. There was social mobilization, fresh and new philanthropic booster funds such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and very high political will. No meeting of the major powers has gone by without health and equity issues being on the agenda. The idea of translating commitments into action more quickly was also raised.This was a new beginning, to push for new organizations ready to deliver and search for direct impact. Gavi was among this organizations. Its creation 20 years ago was the beginning of a new idea to reach unimmunized children all over the world. What was needed ? First, a mechanism ready to buy (i.e. with capacity to enter and shape the market of vaccines, always much more difficult than drugs in terms of supply) ; to develop a roadmap of priorities and action in immunization ; adequate governance to ensure that the various actions required are ready to be implemented in countries lacking the fiscal capacity to do so, from vaccines to financial experts, from multilateral organizations to civil society organizations, in order to bring the key players around the same table. ; a well-informed connection to the realities of children through UNICEF, and to the immunization and health capacities through WHO. The result was the creation of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, an impact-oriented organization that has achieved in just two decades 1 billion children vaccinated, the first step to a healthy life and development in more than 70 countries. It is hard to find a better cost-effective intervention, but above all it would have been almost imposible to reach this impact without Gavi. Focus 2030 : The impact of global health instruments, such as Gavi or the Global Fund Against AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, to support national health systems is sometimes questioned as their interventions, seen by some observers as “vertical” or programmatic, focus on specific diseases. According to your experience and analysis, how are these interventions aligned with national health systems and policies ? More broadly, how can multilateral health organizations like Gavi help strengthen public health systems ? Rafael Vilasanjuan : Indeed, there are some misperceptions about the real impact on health systems of some of these Global Health initiatives such as the Global Fund, Gavi, GFF and others. While on the one hand they search for impact indicators in the domains they are ready to act on, the fact is that most of their interventions would be almost impossible without strengthening health systems, and particularly Primary Health Care capacities, as there relies the basis for their work. In this sense, a big part of the resources allocated in countries by the main global health multilaterals is to support a much more robust health system, from strengthening central capacities to improving logistics, health workers know-how and delivery.In addition, if we take the example of vaccination, we cannot talk about vertical intervention. Achieving routine immunization for children under five in Gavi-eligible countries means to regularly follow-up on the health of children in these countries. While vaccines cover the big burden of the diseases heavily affecting the children, vaccinating also means keeping track of the health status of these children, thus facilitating the real sense of primary health care for all the under five population. This shows that vaccination not only is the most cost-efficient intervention in health, but also the best possible strategy to keep the health system delivering even beyond vaccines. Nevertheless, bearing in mind the example of Gavi, a great deal of resources and effort go into ensuring, strengthening and operating the whole chain of the health systems. This has been of particular concern during the Covid-19 crisis, where supply of the vaccine doses was just the starting point of the whole vaccination strategy. Since vaccination required a stronger logistics capacity, health centers were reinforced, cold chains financed, and even new and innovative infrastructures were funded to access remote areas. Although vaccines required additional cold chains, the resources were not dedicated exclusively to doses and, now that the pandemic is over, most of these facilities, larger and much faster than before, are used as routine logistical capabilities by country health systems. These were also supported with new platforms to gather information on health at subnational level and are now being used for surveillance.The delivery of vaccines also strengthens capacities at community level, both by engaging health workers and liaising with Community Based Organizations, being at the forefront of health delivery. Not lesser also is the role played at the central level to support technical and administrative capacities in Health Ministries. Covid-19 made clear that in fighting the pandemic, global health multilaterals focused their effort on strengthening health services rather than just focusing on a sole disease. Most of these efforts deployed are now part of the strategy to be sure that systems can better surveil and be ready for response, and this applies not just to vaccination but in general to the main global health initiatives. Focus 2030 : After a decrease in its support to Global Health, following the financial and economic crisis in 2009, Spain has played a major role in the Covid-19 pandemic response, and recommitted to major global health instruments such as Gavi, CEPI, the Global Fund, and even the new Pandemic Fund. To what extent do you think Spain will be able to maintain and even increase its leadership on Global Health ? How do you envision the specific role of Spain ahead of Gavi replenishment ? Rafael Vilasanjuan : The political landscape in Spain is as unstable as in many other Western countries. The Parliament is so far split between right- and left-wing parties. The coalition of PSOE and Sumar, both on the left side, with the support of the minorities in Catalunya and Basque Country, holds power with a very narrow margin for approving laws. The scenario of a motion to change government from the left to the right, although very unlikely, could keep the legislature moving forward, which would influence new budgets every year, thus forcing on the table the promise to scale up development aid to 0.5% of GNI. Commitments to the main global health instruments, such as the Global Fund and Gavi, have been led by President Pedro Sanchez himself, and executed through development aid. This is evolving, through a new Spanish strategy for Global health, from the president’s initiative to the Minist

Based on your field experience, what are the main challenges girls need to overcome to benefit from health services, and vaccines in particular ? Jessica Posner Odede : Negative attitudes and social norms often prevent girls from accessing the HPV vaccine, even when it is available. Cervical cancer usually occurs later in life, so adolescent girls and their parents often feel it is irrelevant to them. They have rarely heard about HPV or the vaccine or how this links to cervical cancer. This is coupled with more complicated issues like myths that exist around vaccinations (worrying that the HPV vaccine will make them infertile). Without information being available, misconceptions or harmful rumors can circulate.The perceived quality of care influences the utilization of immunization services, especially for girls. Where healthcare providers are not trained and sensitized on youth friendly approaches and services, they can become a barrier to access and utilization of health services.Immunization programmes are at times designed without the meaningful involvement of girls, thus limiting their agency in the journey towards immunization. Meaningful inclusion through innovative strategies that put girls at the center of intervention design, implementation and monitoring, are key to overcoming barriers to health information and services access.Without the appropriate social support, girls may lack access to necessary health services including vaccines. In cases where parents and caregivers for example need to consent to girls getting vaccinated, without correct knowledge, they too become a barrier to access.Our 2024 research in Tanzania and Ethiopia indicates that awareness and knowledge of HPV, cervical cancer and the HPV vaccination remains low among girls of age 9-14 years. Only 10-11% report being aware of what HPV is and that it can cause cervical cancer.Building resilient demand is vital for the long-term sustainability of HPV vaccine uptake. To do this, you have to talk to girls themselves.That is why before implementing any intervention, Girl Effect conducts formative research to get insights from girls and those around including parents, teachers, health workers, religious leaders etc. To get more authentic insights we have co-created with girls, TEGA (Technology Enabled Girls Ambassadors), a mobile based research programme that allows girls themselves to collect real-time insights into the lives of their peers. Focus 2030 : Gavi is providing HPV vaccines to multiple countries to fight cervical cancer in developing countries. Beyond the deployment of vaccines in countries, to be successful, vaccination campaigns need to address multiple barriers. Could you indicate how your organization engages with girls to design services and contribute to behavior change ? Can you provide an overview of the types of actions you are leading to engage the public, and girls in particular, to facilitate access to vaccines ? Jessica Posner Odede : Immunization doesn’t exist in a silo, so Girl Effect holistically addresses barriers to vaccination alongside issues like sexual and reproductive health, education and nutrition. Unlike other vaccines, the HPV vaccine is administered to girls during adolescence, and is often their first health intervention since childhood. As such, the HPV vaccine is an opportunity to inform girls about the benefits not only of vaccines, but also of other health interventions, at a crucial time in their lives. This can help set them on a path to adopting positive, health-seeking behaviours.Girl Effect firmly believes in girls’ strength and recognises them as autonomous individuals whose ideas, perspectives and skills can help inform, inspire and shape work. It’s with their advice and support that we can deliver effective programmes that are relevant, culturally responsive, and impactful. Girls aren’t just end-users. They are our informers, our inspiration, and our co-creators, whose opinions are valued and whose ideas we bring to life. Some examples of how we engage girls but also the public to facilitate health services access are the following :Human Centered Design : we convene development experts, tech innovators and youth advisers to meet girls, parents, health care workers and community leaders to co-design solutions. From these co-creation workshops and focus group sessions we design behavior change communications approaches to drive behavior change. We don’t make assumptions so that’s why this approach is important to us.Multi-sectoral partnerships and engagement. In every country, we engage with various layers of the health system. This includes NGOs, local governments, service providers, media, and other actors. In particular, we work with governments at every stage of our programs to ensure that we are creating sustainable, long-term solutions that can scale. We launched a “Girl Focus Toolkit” in 2020. The toolkit aims to support Ministries of Health and other partners to deliver HPV immunization programmes, providing a resource that will live on beyond Girl Effect’s interventions. It includes a set of creative and strategic resources that aim to encourage and enable others to develop their own girl-focused approach to HPV vaccine communications.Girl Creators : co-design products and solutions with our team. Our creators help design & create SBCC content and play a pivotal role in driving conversations about health, particularly vaccines.Youth Advisory Panel (YAP) members : voices and ideas are integrated into our program design, implementation, and accountability of our work. From safeguarding to content creation to evaluations, YAPs are at the heart of our engagement approach. Focus 2030 : Your organization has partnered with Gavi for the last eight years to promote access to vaccines. What are the key results you have observed ? What kinds of interventions do you consider worth replicating in other countries ? Jessica Posner Odede : In the last 8 years, we have engaged 3.7 million girls and had a ripple effect to appeal to a broader audience, almost 31 million people across Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Malawi, influencing support groups and enabling discussions within the family.Our partnership has significantly improved awareness about the benefits of the HPV vaccine as well as knowledge about dosage, and reversed the myth that HPV vaccination causes infertility. Using media formats such as chatbots, radio and television dramas or talk shows, our content has busted myths, fought misinformation and inspired conversation about the importance of vaccination programmes and health more broadly. In Ethiopia, those who watch our TV drama are 32% more aware of cervical cancer & 3x as likely to know of the HPV vaccine. Of those aware of the vaccine, 50% say they learned it from our TV drama – more than from health professionals (22%). Readers of our magazine in Malawi were 32% more likely to have had the first dose of the HPV vaccine than non-readers.Based on lessons learned, our partnership has scaled to additional locations, most recently in Nigeria, in support of the Government’s HPV Phase 2 launch. Some of the interventions we are replicating include : the use of digital technology to enhance community interventions, radio and Tv dr

            [text] => Ahead of the launch of the 2026-2030 Gavi Investment Opportunity, on 20 June in Paris, Focus 2030 wishes to highlight the key issues around global immunization in a special edition.  Interview with Dr Mercy Mukui Mwangangi, Senior Health Systems Strengthening Director at Amref Health AfricaFocus 2030 : 30 million children suffer from preventable diseases on the African continent, among which half a million die every year. As an organization operating in the field with local and national institutions, can you detail the actions Amref Health Africa is conducting to support access to immunization by local populations in your countries of intervention ? Dr. Mwangangi : Amref employs a Health Systems Strengthening approach to support access to immunisation in all the Countries of operation in East, West and Southern Africa. Amongst many other programs and projects, Amref is a Lead Partner for the Saving Lives and Livelihoods initiative (funded by the Mastercard Foundation, through Africa CDC) providing immunization services in different settings – hospitals, primary health care centres and through mobile clinics. One of our primary approaches involves supporting governments to strengthen health systems, particularly at the community level by integrating routine immunization into different Primary Health Care and special programs to improve coverage, sustainability of programs, enhanced demand and improved user satisfaction. We have trained thousands of health workers in several African countries, including Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and South Sudan, in proper immunization procedures providing Job Aids and refresher training for Health Care Workers on integrated Routine Immunization.Additionally, we aid in establishing and maintaining cold chain infrastructure to preserve vaccine potency and ensure last-mile delivery to hard-to-reach and low coverage areas. Furthermore, we assist governments at the sub-national level in enhancing data collection and monitoring systems for tracking vaccination coverage using innovative technological approaches. For instance, the mVaccination program in Tanzania trained 100 healthcare workers from 50 facilities, resulting in significant registration and immunization rates, along with updates on stocks and temperatures, and SMS reminders to registered caregivers.Amref also supports community mobilization and education efforts, collaborating with communities to raise awareness on the importance of immunization and address vaccine hesitancy through education campaigns, community dialogues, and engagement with local leaders. In Senegal, we promoted the use of digital technology in accessing healthcare through the Digital Health and Innovative Solutions for Safer Pregnancy, Child Survival, and Nutrition : Cellal e Kisal program, which benefited over 9,000 pregnant women and 67,662 children aged zero to five years.We prioritize reaching the most vulnerable children in the countries we support, as demonstrated by our work in Ethiopia’s Afar province and in Kenya using the ‘Kimormor’ project, where we have reached over 20,000 and 1,000 children respectively through our outreach services for immunization. In Uganda, in collaboration with Amref UK and funding from Comic Relief, we supported 650 district and sub-district management teams and communities to improve the provision and uptake of maternal, newborn, and child health services, benefiting over 73,000 people directly. In South Sudan, through the Everywhere = mobile clinics project, we activated eight mobile clinics to identify and treat various health concerns, including ensuring vaccinations for children.Amref is also engaged in advocacy and policy engagement with like-minded bodies, advocating for government policies that prioritize immunization and supporting the allocation of adequate resources for vaccine programs. We provide technical assistance to governments to develop life course immunization policies & programming tools in line with immunization Agenda 2030. Focus 2030 : What are the main challenges governments need to take up to ensure a universal access to vaccines for their populations ? What are the main constraints health professionals face to implement successful vaccination campaigns ? Dr. Mwangangi : While huge gains have been made in increasing access to vaccinations and thus reducing child deaths in Africa, several challenges hinder universal access to vaccines in Africa. Most African countries have yet to reach the recommended coverage for vaccinations, and it is estimated that 1 in 5 children in Africa do not receive the vaccines they need in a timely manner. Limited domestic financial resources for vaccines are a critical challenge that many African countries face. Most vaccination programs are heavily financed by external donors, leaving gaps in critical aspects of the vaccination programs such as supply, cold chain, and the purchase of vaccines. As some African countries phase out of GAVI support, this challenge will become more prominent and may lead to a reversal of the gains made in vaccinations in the last decade. Therefore, countries must engage innovative mechanisms to finance vaccination campaigns to ensure access to life-saving vaccines.Furthermore, vaccine hesitancy and misinformation remain constant challenges for governments in Africa. While most countries work with development partners like Amref Health Africa to create awareness and sensitize communities on vaccinations, there remains a large proportion of African communities that refuse vaccinations due to cultural and societal reasons. Also, political instability and conflict, which are on the rise in a number of African countries, directly disrupt vaccination services and limit access to healthcare. Additionally, these conflicts can result in the destruction of expensive cold chain equipment, which can strain the limited financial resources available to governments to finance vaccination programs.Health professionals also face various constraints in implementing vaccination programs successfully. Lack of adequate training, supportive supervision, and resources hinders the effective delivery of vaccinations by health workers, especially in rural and hard-to-reach areas. Healthcare workers may require additional training on proper immunization procedures, cold chain management, and communication skills to effectively address vaccine hesitancy. While Amref Health Africa and other development partners endeavor to close these gaps, there remains a deficit that governments must take leadership to address.Another challenge is the sub-optimal data systems leading to vulnerable populations being overlooked, the operation of multiple vertical programs at the health facility level, and poor health worker remuneration all contribute to reduced motivation, incentives and ability for effective delivery of vaccination services by health workers.Logistical challenges with delivering vaccines to remote areas and maintaining the cold chain can be difficult due to limited infrastructure and poor access to transportation networks, and this can hinder the effective delivery of vaccination campaigns. Moreover, workforce shortages are a major challenge to the health workforce in many African countries. Health workers usually find it challenging to dedicate sufficient personnel to vaccination programs. Governments need to improve processes, cold chain equipment/infrastructure, transport and human resource by strengthening National Vaccine Stores and promote seamless use of both pull and push strategies to move vaccines from National Vaccine stores to service delivery points. To do this, there is a need to transition from traditional vertical disease approaches to integrated immunization, integrating vaccination into routine primary health services to reach high-risk populations effectively. Focus 2030

            [text] =>  According to the latest available data (2021), 4.5 billion people - more than half of the world’s population - are not fully covered by essential health services. It means that they are deprived of access to the health services they need throughout their lives, including prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care, and that they aren’t able to benefit from them when and where they need them without suffering financial constraints.Yet, universal access to healthcare is one of the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, at all ages, by 2030.Therefore, significant progress is needed. To achieve this goal, the WHO estimates that between 200 and 328 billion dollars per year must be allocated to developing countries until 2030.The recent downturn in the global economy primarily affects the poorest countries. Between 2019 and 2021, 62 developing countries devoted more resources to debt repayment than to their healthcare systems; they were 34 between 2012 and 2014.To achieve SDG3 by 2030, an increase in resources for global health is essential. While the Addis Ababa Action Agenda on Financing for Development calls for greater mobilisation of domestic resources to achieve the SDGs, Official Development Assistance (ODA) remains a crucial tool for supporting essential services in many countries. In 2022, almost 34 billion dollars were allocated to health in developing countries by the industrialised countries of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC).2024 and 2025 will be decisive as several multilateral institutions promoting global health will replenish their resources, including the WHO, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the Pandemic Fund.Analysis of the main funding allocated to the promotion of global health by industrialised countries, particularly France. Official development assistance for global health: key figuresIn 2021, high-income countries, home to 16% of the world’s population, accounted for 79% of total health spending worldwide, compared to 3.8% for low- and lower-middle-income countries, which account for 52% of the world’s population. One of the objectives of official development assistance is to reduce these inequalities in access to health and enable everyone to have access to quality health services.According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, 60% of the world’s total healthcare expenditure comes from national governments, but this amount varies considerably from one income group to another and from one country to another. It averages 26% in low-income countries (compared with 66% in high-income countries), where 36% of expenditure is covered by official development assistance.Between 1995 and 2020, the share covered by the governments of low-income countries remained stable, but the share covered by ODA increased considerably from 8% to 32%: this contributed to a reduction in expenditure borne by individuals in low-income countries from 60% to 37% of total health expenditure in 25 years.Therefore, in 2001, the World Health Organisation recommended that industrialised countries devote 0.1% of their gross national income (GNI) to financing global health, as part of their official development assistance. However, in 2022, the DAC countries devoted 34 billion dollars to this, or 0.06% of their GNI. Only one country, Luxembourg, met the WHO recommendation in 2022 (0.12%), followed by Germany and Norway (0.09%).However, the proportion of ODA devoted to health in 2022 is one of the highest ever observed: between 2012 and 2019, it fluctuated between 0.04 and 0.05% of the GNI of DAC countries. It was not until 2021 that it exceeded 0.06%, mainly because of the Covid-19 pandemic: the fight against the pandemic accounted for 49% of bilateral health ODA from DAC countries in 2021 and 2022.  Multilateral organisations in global health: what funding? The budget of the World Health Organisation (WHO) is renewed every two years. It is made up of various types of contributions (compulsory and voluntary) from the organisation’s member states and other partners (foundations, private sector, etc.). The WHO budget for 2022-2023 amounts to 10.4 billion dollars]. From 2025, the WHO’s funding model should evolve towards a replenishment model, in order to provide the organisation with more predictable and flexible funding. This change will be put to a vote by the Member States at the World Health Assembly in May 2024. For the period 2025-2028, the financial requirements for the WHO’s core budget are estimated at 7.1 billion US dollars. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria operates in three-year cycles, with a replenishment period prior to each cycle. For the period 2024-2026, 15.7 billion dollars have been pledged by contributors. The Global Fund’s main historical donors are the United States, France, the United Kingdom and Germany. The 8th replenishment cycle for the period 2026-2028 will be held in 2025.   Funding for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, is organised around five-year periods. During its last replenishment for the period 2021-2025, held in June 2020, 8.8 billion dollars were pledged by donors in direct contributions. Since its foundation in 2000, Gavi has received \$22.5 billion from sovereign donors, including \$6.4 billion from the UK (28% of the total), \$3.6 billion from the US (16%), \$2.9 billion from Norway (13%), 1.9 billion from France (9%) and \$1.6 billion from Germany (7%). Gavi’s new investment opportunity for the 2026-2030 period was launched on June 20, 2024 in Paris, at the Global Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation organized by France and CDC Africa. It details needs of up to \$9 billion, including \$1.7 billion for the International Finance Facility for Immunization (IFFIm), in order to vaccinate an additional 500 million children by 2030 and preserve 8 to 9 million lives.   In 2021, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) adopted a strategy for the

            [descriptif] => Survey: what role should the European Union play in international solidarity? A comparative look at France, Italy and Germany.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => In partnership with Stack Data Strategy, Focus 2030 carried out a sample survey in February 2024 in three countries: France, Germany and Italy. In the run-up to the European elections, this study aims to provide development players (NGOs, foundations, think tanks, ministries, public institutions, international organisations), opinion multipliers and journalists with facts and figures to help them better understand citizens’ expectations of Europe’s role in the world.The results presented below are based on surveys carried out between 16 and 22 February among representative samples of the adult population in each of the three countries (around 1,500 respondents per country).Ahead of the forthcoming European Parliament elections to be held from 6 to 9 June 2024, Focus 2030 asked citizens in France, Italy and Germany about their perceptions of the European Union’s role in international solidarity. Analysis.The European Union, which brings together 27 Member States, is a key multilateral player in an increasingly divided and unstable world, as demonstrated by the Covid-19 pandemic, ongoing wars and humanitarian crises, not to mention the ravages of climate change. The European Union wields considerable influence on the international stage, notably through its representation on multilateral bodies and its aid to developing countries as the world’s largest donor (93 billion dollars from its member countries and 27 billion dollars from EU institutions in 2023). The economic strength of this regional organization (accounting for 16% of the world’s total wealth) also implies a special responsibility towards the rest of the world, particularly towards developing countries.With this in mind, Focus 2030 surveyed citizens in France, Italy and Germany to find out whether they would like the European Union to be more involved in international development.This survey highlights a strong sense of European citizenship (69% on average across the three countries), although national identity, which is not exclusive, remains more predominant (84%). Additionally, 73% of respondents in France, Germany, and Italy support maintaining or increasing European Union (EU) aid to developing countries, demonstrating a collective desire for solidarity with the poorest nations, which is considered one of the EU’s core values by the majority of citizens (58%). Respondents also expressed support for a European tax on financial transactions (57%) and increased EU financial support for gender equality in the world (63%).Analysis.Compare the sense of belonging to a national, European or global citizenshipDo people surveyed in France, Germany, and Italy consider themselves citizens primarily of their own country, of the European Union, or of the world? This question offers insight into attitudes towards national identity, support for the European project, and awareness of the interdependence within a globalized society, including potential tendencies towards national isolationism.In all three countries, the sense of national belonging is the strongest (averaging 84%), followed by European citizenship (69%) and global citizenship (60%) in two out of three countries. However, European citizenship is notably weaker among respondents in France (-13 percentage points compared to Germany and Italy).In more detail, we can observe that the sense of national citizenship is notably stronger among respondents aged over 55 compared to those aged 18 to 44 (+18 points in France and Germany, +11 points in Italy).On the other hand, the feeling of belonging to European citizenship does not vary significantly with age, but rather with political orientation and level of education. Those with a university degree are more likely to consider themselves European citizens than those without (+7 points in France, +9 points in Italy and +10 points in Germany). In France, European citizenship is claimed more by people who say they are ’left-wing’ (moderate) or ’centre’ (+14 points compared to those who say they are either ’far left’, ’right-wing’ or ’far right’). In Germany, it is higher for people who say they are ’left-wing’ or ’centre’ (+10 points compared to those who say they are ’centre-right’, ’right-wing’ or ’far right’). In Italy, European sentiment is much more widely recognised by ’left’ and ’centre-left’ supporters (+15 points compared to centre/centre-right supporters and +23 points compared to ’right’ supporters).The sense of belonging to a global citizenship is also strongly dependent on political orientation. In all three countries, left-wing supporters express a greater sense of belonging than centre or right-wing supporters (+18 points in France, +17 points in Germany, +15 points in Italy). A majority of citizens in France, Germany and Italy are in favour of increasing or maintaining European aid to developing countries73% of respondents in France, Germany and Italy believe that EU support for health, education and development in the poorest countries should be maintained or increased. Only a minority (15%) oppose this idea.Left and centre-left supporters are more likely to be in favour of this support than right-wing supporters (+17 points in France, +9 points in Germany, +12 points in Italy). Is solidarity with the poorest countries a value of the European Union?An average of 58% of respondents in France (56%), Germany (53%) and Italy (64%) agree with the statement that “Supporting the development of the poorest countries is one of the European Union’s values”. Only 13% are opposed to this principle.The strongest support for the fact that supporting the development of the world’s poorest countries is a value of the European Union comes from Italy. Respondents in Germany disagree with this statement proportionately more than those in France.Once again, the main discriminant on this question is the respondents’ political orientation: being ’left-wing’ (’far left’ and ’left-wing’) is associated with acknowledging the value of solidarity on a global scale (+14 points than the average of respondents in Italy, +16 points in France and +17 points in Germany). Broad support in France, Germany and Italy for a European tax on financial transactions to finance the fight against global poverty and climate change80% of respondents in France, Germany, and Italy are in favor of or would not oppose the establishment of a tax on 'financial transactions' (FTT) to finance the fight against global poverty and climate change. Only a minority of respondents would oppose this measure (13% on average in the three countries).In the run-up to the next European elections in June 2024, this tax initiative does not therefore represent a political risk.Support for a European financial transaction tax is highest in France (82%), with the lowest level of opposition (9%). This French support for an FTT to finance development in the poorest countries confirms what Focus 2030 has regularly measured as part of the DEL project.Although the majority of those questioned do not oppose or support the idea of a European FTT, this measure remains more popular with people who declare themselves to be ’on the left’ (far left, left-wing or centre-left) than with those on the rest of the political spectrum (+11 points in Italy, +12 points in France, +22 points in Germany). The European Union is expected to fight for gender equality in the worldEquality between women and men is not seen exclusively as a domestic issue, but as a global concern that needs to be addressed at European level through appropriate financial commitments, among other things. This is something that Foc

Each of the samples selected was weighted using the quota method to represent the adult population in terms of age, gender, region, level of education and vote in the last national elections, respectively in the three countries surveyed (France, Italy and Germany).Due to weighting and rounding, the percentages shown in the data tables do not always add up to 100%.Given the size of this survey, when interpreting these results it is prudent to use a margin of error of 2.5% at the 95% confidence level. The margin of error decreases when the statistic in question is closer to 0% or 100%.

This reform is being pushed forward by a growing number of developing countries facing an unprecedented contraction of their fiscal space. Progress is also expected on the recapitalization of the World Bank, the mobilization of its callable capital for development and climate financing, and ambitious commitments for the replenishment of the International Development Association (IDA) on December 5-6. COP29, which will take place from November 11 to 22 📆 in Baku, Azerbaijan, will be an opportunity to place climate finance at the center of the meetings and make clear commitments to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The G7 Summit under the Italian presidency will gather heads of States and government from June 13 to 15 📆 in Italy. The summit will be the occasion to pursue discussions on reforming the international financial architecture. Find out here the calendar of G7 and G20-related events in 2024. The G20 Summit, under Brazilian presidency, will bring together heads of States and governments in Rio de Janeiro. This annual meeting, that’ll be held on November 18 and 19 📆, will be an opportunity to make commitments on the challenges linked to developing countries’ fiscal room for maneuver, in particular the better allocation of IMF special drawing rights, the reform of global tax rules, and the treatment of debt.

This may be due to the polysemy of the expression 'sustainable development' which mostly refers, in the common language, to environmental issues, a cause which is particularly supported by the younger generations. This specificity looks less relevant in the US.Like in most surveys, men are more likely than women to declare that they know (about something in general), which is not enough, for instance, to draw the conclusion than men are more aware than women of the SDGs as a concept, nor of the 17 themes of the SDGs.FranceGermanyUnited KindgomUnited States of AmericaThis data comes from our survey conducted by the YouGov Institute and piloted by the research team at University College London and the University of Birmingham as part of the Development Engagement Lab project which measures the evolution of opinions and behaviors on issues of international solidarity in four countries.

            [text] => Special edition on the state of gender inequality around the world in 2025: This overview focusing on the access to contraception around the world is one of the components of a special report dedicated to gender inequalities in the world in 2025. In 2015, all countries in the world committed to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Among these goals, SDG 5 aims to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls worldwide. However, achieving gender equality requires sufficient investment, especially in the poorest countries.Official Development Assistance (ODA) from the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) is an important source of funding in this regard. To what extent do DAC member countries take into account the promotion of gender equality in their ODA? What trend has been observed in recent years? Analysis.Gender equality, an issue that remains underfunded by donorsMonitoring of ODA for gender equality is carried out by the OECD DAC, using the aid policy marker in support of gender equality (see box).Significant objective, principal objective: definitionsAs part of the annual reporting of their aid to the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC), DAC members are required to indicate for each project/programme whether it targets gender equality as a policy objective according to a three-point scoring system:  Principal (score 2): gender equality is the main objective of the project/programme and is fundamental in its design and expected results. The project/programme would not have been undertaken without this gender equality objective. Significant (score 1): gender equality is an important and deliberate objective, but not the principal reason for undertaking the project/ programme. Not targeted (score 0): the project/programme has been screened against the marker but has not been found to target gender equality. Source : OECD (2016).On average, between 2022 and 2023, the 31 OECD-DAC donor countries and European Union institutions have collectively committed to directing US\$68.7 billion per year, or 45.8% of their screened bilateral ODA, towards gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. Of this amount, US\$5.7 billion targeted gender equality as a principal objective (3.8% of bilateral ODA), and US\$63 billion as a significant objective (42% of bilateral ODA).Over the same period, DAC members disbursed an average of \$55 billion in support of gender equality (39.8% of their screened bilateral ODA disbursements), including \$5.8 billion in support of projects with gender equality as a principal objective (4.2%) and \$49.3 billion for projects with gender equality as a significant objective (35.6%).Commitments, disbursements: clarificationIn addition to the detailed database, the OECD communicates ODA amounts for gender equality and women’s empowerment expressed as commitments, in order to reflect the intentions of donor countries. As these commitments may be made over several years, their total sum may vary significantly from one year to the next without signifying a change of direction, which is why the OECD communicates on the average of two years.In terms of volume, the largest ODA donors to gender equality are also the largest donors of total ODA (Germany, Japan, USA, France).However, no country has reached the international target of directing at least 85% of its ODA to gender equality, and only the Netherlands and Spain have devoted at least 20% of their ODA to the direct promotion of equality.Rising commitments to gender equality, but stagnating disbursements since 2020ODA commitments to gender equality have been on an upward trajectory. A temporary drop was observed in 2021, a year after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, during which donor countries concentrated their resources on other priorities linked to the health crisis and its economic repercussions. This decrease was reversed in 2022, when the commitments made at the Generation Equality Forum, where international players collectively pledged to mobilize \$40 billion for the promotion of gender equality, were taken into account. However, commitments to the direct promotion of equality fell sharply between 2020 and 2022, and the slight upturn in 2023 did not restore the 2019 levels.In addition, disbursements for gender equality projects and programs have stagnated since 2020.France, a future champion for the promotion of gender equality in the world?France ranks 17th, having allocated 46.4% of its bilateral aid to gender equality on average in 2022-2023. 6.3% of the amounts allocated targeted the pursuit of gender equality as a primary objective (\$0.5 billion), and 40.1% as a significant objective (\$3.1 billion).On 4 August 2021, France enacted a new law to frame its development aid policy: the Programming Law on Inclusive Development and the Fight against Global Inequalities. This law establishes gender equality as a cross-cutting objective of French ODA. It provides that 75% of projects financed by French ODA should have gender equality (according to the OECD gender marker) as their principal or significant objective by 2025, of which 20% should have it as their principal objective. This commitment could result in €3.3 billion being allocated to the direct promotion of equality in 2025, four times the amount dedicated in 2021.France stands out, however, for its level of support for women’s rights organizations, movements and government institutions, an integral part of its feminist diplomacy. On average in 2022-2023, it has allocated \$97 million to them, behind Germany, which ranks first with \$118 million.

            [descriptif] => While the French are broadly in favor of France making a fair contribution to global efforts to redistribute wealth, and of the country’s commitment on the international scene to combat global inequalities, the level of media coverage and public knowledge of the role of the international community, France’s development policy and the SDGs is low.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015, are ambitious targets that require international cooperation and the mobilization of all stakeholders. These goals are closely related and interdependent to ensure that the actions taken to achieve one of them can have positive repercussions on the others, or negative consequences from chain reactions in the opposite case. Through its three annual survey waves, Focus 2030 examines the attitudes, opinions and knowledge of the citizens on major global challenges. The results of theses studies show that, while the French largely support France’s fair contribution to global wealth redistribution efforts and its commitment on the international scene to fight global inequalities, the level of media coverage and knowledge of France’s development policy and the SDGs among the general public is low.  Here’s how.   A limited media coverage of global challenges and the Sustainable Development Goals in French media Although the last five years have been marked by a number of major international events held in France, these happening have been relatively ignored by the French media despite their crucial importance for human rights defenders, and those committed to fighting global poverty and inequality.  To measure the media coverage of development issues in France, Focus 2030 looked at the coverage of six events that took place since 2017: the Generation Equality Forum organized in Paris in the second half of 2021, the adoption of the Programming Act of August 4, 2021 on inclusive development and combating against global inequalities, the 6th replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria organized in Lyon in 2019, the unveiling of the amounts allocated to official development assistance by OECD countries (including France), the launch of the systematic malaria vaccination campaign in Cameroon, and the reduction of France’s official development assistance announced in February 2024. Generation Equality Forum  Long-awaited by the feminist organizations worldwide as the first international conference dedicated to gender equality since 1995, the Generation Equality Forum took place in France in July 2021. Although 40 billion dollars were pledged for gender equality worldwide and over 2,000 commitments were made by governments, companies and NGOs, and despite the presence of renowned personalities such as Hilary Clinton, Antonio Gueteres, Melinda Gates and numerous heads of state, this high-level event was only mentioned in 112 publications in the French media. Results: only 3% of French people claimed to be aware of this conference, despite the fact that 80% said that the issue of gender equality was important to them personally, and 57% said they supported their government’s adoption of feminist diplomacy.  Programming Act on inclusive development and combating global inequalities The adoption of the Programming Act on inclusive development and combating global inequalities (LOP-DSI), which aims to allocate 0.7% of gross national income to official development assistance by 2025, was only mentioned in 26 media in France. This law, adopted unanimously by all parliamentary groups and welcomed by all NGOs, had been awaited for 50 years - and marked the end of a commitment made to the United Nations by developing countries - a commitment supported by 65% of French people.  Replenishment of the Global Fund The 6th replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria only received 34 mentions in the French media in 2019. Yet this event, hosted by France, raised \$14 billion to save 16 million lives between 2020 and 2022 by providing free access to HIV, tuberculosis and malaria treatments for the world’s poorest populations. On this occasion, France itself pledged to increase its contribution, allocating the historic sum of 1,296 million euros to the Global Fund.   Amounts allocated to official development assistance The announcement, on Wednesday April 12, 2023, of the amounts allocated to official development assistance in 2022 by OECD countries received very limited media coverage. Only 13 media outlets (internet and print) covered the news (9 articles, 1 AFP dispatch and 4 AFP reprints), reporting on the amounts allocated by France, despite a surge in international solidarity on the part of the 30 countries providing \$204 billion (€194 billion) in official development assistance - an all-time record -.  Introduction of the malaria vaccination campaign in Cameroon The delivery of 331,200 doses of RTS,S vaccine to public and private health centers in the 42 health districts of Cameroon’s 10 regions marks a crucial step in the fight against malaria. With the support of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, 19 other countries on the African continent will follow suit in 2024, enabling 6.6 million children to be vaccinated by 2026. This historic turning point was only mentioned in 23 media in France (16 AFP reports), despite the fact that malaria kills over 600,000 people every year.  France’s reduction in 2024 ODA budget Bruno Le Maire’s announcement on February 18, 2024 of a 742 million euro budget cut to France’s official development assistance (ODA) received scant media coverage.  Only fourteen articles exclusively cover this subject in terms of official development assistance and NGO reactions to this disproportionate cuts, despite the fact that ODA is proportionally the most affected budget line.   Global Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation On June 20, 2024, France, the African Union and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, co-hosted the Global Forum for Vaccine Sovereignty and Innovation in Paris, a crucial event that mobilized \$2.4 billion to protect 500 million children by 2030. The forum received significant media coverage, including 82 publications in the French press. Among these mentions, many television media relayed the event, underlining its importance for global health and international cooperation.

            [text] => Phase 2 of the project, 2019-2025: a series of opinion polls to better capture and analyse public feeling and understanding about international developmentThe Development Engagement Lab research project (DEL, 2019-2025) aims to measure and better understand what the general public think about international development issues, and why (and how) they become involved.The term 'development' refers to poverty reduction and development of poor countries but also the Sustainable Development Goals.The DEL project, which is a second phase of the Aid Attitudes Tracker research project (AAT), will be run over five years.  Like the AAT, DEL research will be based principally on quantitative data from opinion polls carried out to measure feelings, opinions, behaviour or expectations of the general public in four countries: France, Germany, the UK and the US.The results from the DEL project will provide data and information to  development actors (development NGOs, Foundations, think tanks, ministries and public institutions) to support the design and delivery of their communication and advocacy.Focus 2030 is the partner for the DEL project in France.  We co-construct the questions and content of the opinion poll, according to the needs of our partners, and then analyse and publish the results. Focus 2030 works with data concerning France specifically but also to produce comparative analysis of France against the other three countries surveyed.The DEL project, financed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is led by Professor Jennifer Hudson of University College London and Professor David Hudson from the University of Birmingham.There are three different types of polling tools used in the project: The Tracker: to measure trends in answers across all four of the DEL countries (France, Germany, the UK and the US). 10 identical questions are put three times a year over five years to a sample of around 2000 respondents, and once a year to a sample of around 6000 respondents. The Sandbox: to measure views on specific issues to each one of the four countries.  For this survey, there are 30 new questions each time, put twice a year to around 2000 respondents. The Panel: finally, to measure views on subjects common to all four countries, this tool contains 60 questions which are put to a panel of around 6000 people once a year.MethodologyYouGov, which is in charge of conducting the polls, is a opinion polling institute established in 2000 in the UK, with 31 offices in 21 countries (including in France, since November 2011). YouGov has a panel of 5 million people across 28 countries, representing all ages, socio-economic categories and genders. This panel enables a representative sample of national populations for different opinion polls.  In France, the panel has 175,000 people.You can find out more about YouGov here.Survey methods used by YouGovYouGov carries out its opinion polls on line, mostly using a system called ‘active sampling’.  For each poll, emphasis is on the quality rather than the quantity of respondents.With this system, restrictions are introduced to ensure that only those people contacted are authorised to participate in the survey. This means that all of the respondents to the survey have been pre-selected by YouGov, from their panel of registered respondents, and only those chosen from the panel can participate.To represent the French population according to the quota method, YouGov uses socio-demographic data published by the French national statistics bureau, INSEE.Survey samples for each poll take into account the following categories for respondents: – age– gender– location– annual income– level of educationThe panel members are recruited from several different channels, such as classic advertising, or through various different websites.Which respondents take part in DEL surveys?Various socio-demographic information is recorded for each new panel member.Respondents have a log-in and password, and can only reply once to each online survey.Data analysisOnce the survey is complete, the final data are weighted statistically against the national profile of adults aged over 18. The weighting is carried out for age, social class, region, level of education, political votes at recent elections, and political preference.‘Active sampling’ therefore ensures an accurate and proportional representation in participation in the survey.  Combined with statistical weighting, the sample provides representative findings for the whole of the population of the country under study (including those who do not have access to internet).Presentation of resultsResults are presented as a percentage of responses calculated in relation to the representative sample of the adult population in each of the four countries in which DEL surveys are conducted.For every questions offering a response scale from 0 to 10, responses are presented according to the following groupings: sum of 0 to 3 - sum of 4 to 6 - sum of 7 to 10.Reimbursement for participationRespondents earn ‘YouGov points’ each time they take part in a survey.  Depending on the size of the survey, taking part in between 10-15 polls will earn around 400 points.  5000 points equal a monetary value of around 56 € (£50). Participants must reach a minimum of 5000 points before being able to claim any kind of reimbursement.Margin of errorThe margin of error for DEL surveys (which involve between 2000 and 6000 respondents) is ± 2%.Any other questions?

            [descriptif] => Juan Pablo Uribe answers Focus 2030’s questions on the actions undertaken by the Global Finance Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents on the occasion of the International Women’s Rights Day.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => In the run-up to March 8, International Women’s Day, and as part of its special edition on the state of inequality in the world in 2024, Focus 2030 wants to put forward the stakeholders who try to achieve gender equality on a daily basis. The Global Financing Facility (GFF) is a country-led partnership, hosted at the World Bank, that fights poverty and inequity by advancing the health and rights of women, children and adolescents.Interview with Juan Pablo Uribe, Director of the Global Financing Facility for Women Children and Adolescents (GFF)Focus 2030 : The Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents (GFF), a global partnership hosted by the World Bank and created in 2015, aims to address the gaps in the areas of health, nutrition and well-being for women, children and adolescents. Can you share the trends observed since the start of the covid-19 pandemic which has had a major impact on women’s health ? Is there a return to pre-crisis trends or even progress ?Juan Pablo Uribe : We observe a trend where countries we support have made progress however overlapping crises related to health emergencies, macroeconomic conditions, climate change, and conflict threaten these gains. Too many disruptions risk taking countries back on their hard-fought progress unless urgent action is taken.Right now, 250 million women and girls who want to avoid pregnancy are unable to access safe, modern methods of contraception. Today, 800 women will die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth – and 40,000 girls under the age of 18 will be married – taking away their education, and agency.Until this is addressed, adolescent pregnancies will remain high, and complications during pregnancy and childbirth will remain a leading cause of mortality among teenage girls in Africa.For many countries, this reversal is not just impacting lives today. It is limiting future growth; it is restricting resilience and risking security. All of these are needed for a more stable future. The good news is that we can see that the longer countries prioritize the health of women and girls – the greater the progress. More than 90 percent of countries partnering with the GFF have reduced maternal mortality and under-five mortality. Major progress has also been achieved across other health outcomes — including reductions in adolescent birth rates, stunting and stillbirths. There are many challenges, but I do want to pass a more positive message, which is that based on our experience, change is possible with the right financing, engagements, and partnerships.Focus 2030 : Part of the GFF’s work is to mobilize catalytic funds in favor of women’s health, drawing on public, private and domestic financing. What are the key tangible results achieved ?Juan Pablo Uribe : One of the greatest challenges is finding ways to allocate more financing to health, and to ensure that increasing proportions of that money is from domestic budgets and targets the needs of women, children and adolescents. Because of the GFF’s partnership with the Bank, countries use relatively small amounts of GFF grant financing blended with the WB resources to drive more funding towards women, children and adolescents. And it works, the average percentage of IDA funding (the WB main financing instrument to the poorest countries) allocated to this agenda has risen by 40 percent between 2016-2023 as compared to the previous years.We use our catalytic funding and deploy our resources in three different ways : First, the data, evidence and knowledge that build a common platform of understanding to advocate for stronger opportunities for women and ensure that all partners align behind a prioritized costed plan led by countries. Second, driving policy and health financing reforms. For instance, we saw that changes in legislation were causing uncertainty about what package of services are available for women’s health, which is just one type of barrier we need to address. In Cameroon, the GFF and the WB supported the reversal of a circular from 1980 that banned pregnant girls from staying in school. We cannot ignore the political discussions at stake for governments, but our approach is always to work with governments as the starting point and meet them where they are on policy matters. This is essential for country-owned and sustainable outcomes. We are using evidence to show that creating an enabling environment and driving reforms can lead to countless opportunities for women – from the pursuit of an education to employment, to actively contributing to the economy. Third, supporting expansion of services to reach more women and girls and working across sectors. As part of our partnership with Mozambique, for example, the country expanded sexual and reproductive health services through a school health platform with a particular focus on adolescent girls. Between 2015 and 2022, Mozambique reported a 19-percent reduction in its adolescent birth rate.  We are now looking at how to use this platform for HPV roll out. In Burkina Faso for example, the GFF funding focuses on ensuring that the health workforce reaches community in conflict-affected areas. Despite security challenges, nearly 10,000 health workers were trained in 2022 with GFF–World Bank support, up from 2,000 health workers in 2021.And of course, we can’t do this alone and we are working in close partnership with many stakeholders including public, private, and civil society actors, UN agencies. We are for example deepening our partnership with UNFPA to coordinate efforts in countries on family planning. We have also expanded our support to CSOs and youth so they can have a seat at the table and push government and the GFF partnership further.Focus 2030 : You launched your “Deliver the Future' replenishment campaign in July 2023, aiming to raise at least \$800 million by the end of 2023. An event will be organized in April 2024 by the GFF at the Spring Meetings of the World Bank and IMF, providing an opportunity for several countries to announce new contributions. Major donors such as Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany or the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation already support the GFF. What will be needed to ensure the GFF can properly support countries to deliver on their population needs ?Juan Pablo Uribe : We need a relentless commitment, focus and continued investment in women, children and adolescent health and well-being. We need all partners to come together to support efforts and champion innovative approaches to sustainable development financing. We know that there are a lot of competing priorities, and that budget are stretched.The GFF is highly cost effective when you consider the significant leverage effect and scale that it helps bring: working with catalytic grants, the model allows for increasing the scale and impact of World Bank and government funding for women’s health. As a country-led approach, with on-budget on-system focus, the GFF partnership ensures that donors are aligned with national priorities, which leads to better coordination, pooling of funding, and efficiency gains and sustainability. The numbers speak for themselves: to date, every US dollar invested in the GFF has generated a US\$7 match from the World Bank, US\$6.3 from other global funders and US\$9.3 from governments’ own domestic resources.We want to focus on practical solutions and policy reforms; we want to focus on bringing new models of co-investment and partnership that can bring financing to scale and break silos across sectors.I am convinced that progress is possible if we highlight both the cost of inaction and the opportunities.There is a lot of work ahead of us, but I am also hopeful that we can deepen our partnership with partners, such as France – whose leadership has been instrumental and steadfast in support of better health and opportunities for women, adolescents, and marginalized populations.NB: The opinions expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the ideas of Focus 2030.

            [descriptif] => Overview of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) worldwide, their funding and the new French strategy to promote them. Analysis.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Special edition on the state of gender inequality around the world in 2025 : This overview focusing on the overview of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) worldwide is one of the components of a special report dedicated to gender inequalities in the world in 2025. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are regarded as critical components of women’s empowerment and sustainable development by many feminist and civil society organizations. Improving access to SRHR for women and girls is central to the achievement of universal health coverage, and a key issue in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals.SRHR cover three main issues : human rights and individual freedoms, gender equality and the sustainable development of societies, and public health. The latest stage in the definition of SRHR was the opening up of these rights to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender + (LGBT+) people in the 1990s.Despite progress over the past two decades, major challenges remain, and greater financial mobilization and awareness on the part of the international community are required to meet current needs. To meet these challenges, France launched in 2023 a new international strategy for SRHR for the period 2023-2027.What are SRHR ?Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) refer to the set of rights guaranteeing individuals the right to control their own bodies and freely make all decisions relating to sexuality and reproduction. They are therefore not limited to the field of maternal health alone, and cover other fundamental aspects such as information and education on sexuality, access to contraception, prevention and screening for sexually transmitted diseases, and so on.According to the UNFPA’s Background document for the Nairobi summit on the 25th anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD25), 'Good sexual and reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well- being in all matters relating to sexuality and the reproductive system. All individuals have a right to make decisions governing their body and to access services that support that right. Every individual has the right to make his or her own choices about his or her sexual and reproductive health, which implies that people should be able to have a satisfying and safe sex life, the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so'.Over 30 years of progress...Over the past three decades, significant advances have been made in the SRHR landscape.The 'Cairo Programme' adopted in 1994 at the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), and the Beijing Conference on Women in 1995, marked a decisive turning point in the recognition of SRHR. A new approach based on human rights led to significant progress in the field of women’s health in the following decades. Between 2000 and 2023, for example, the maternal mortality rate fell by around 40% worldwide.SRHR are largely addressed, too, in the 'Agenda 2030' and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted in September 2015 by the 193 member states of the United Nations. Indeed the specific issue of SRHR appears both in the context of SDG 5, which aims to 'Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls' (target 5.6), and SDG 3 - 'Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages' (target 3.7).In 2021, SRHR also received increased attention at the Generation Equality Forum, organized by UN Women and the governments of France and Mexico. On this occasion, governments, NGOs and international organizations drew up a Global Acceleration Plan for Gender Equality, including a series of actions and commitments in particular in favor of bodily autonomy and SRHR. But there are still considerable needs to be metDespite these advances, major challenges remain. The rise of conservatism and anti-choice movements jeopardizes the gains made, while humanitarian, climatic and health crises often relegate them to the background. In particular, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the progress made, disrupting essential health services worldwide and particularly affecting women.In 2024, 61% of women of reproductive age - over 1.2 billion - are living in countries with restrictive abortion legislation. These restrictions have a major impact on women’s lives : every year, the WHO estimates that 39,000 women die as a result of unsafe abortions.800 women die every day worldwide from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth270 million women worldwide have no access to modern contraceptionMore than 12,000 girls are at risk of female genital mutilation every day Funding for SRHR remain scarceA major challenge lies in the lack of dedicated funding for SRHR, which hinders the implementation of effective programs and jeopardizes the achievement of the ambitious goals set.According to OECD data, aid volumes integrating gender equality issues have increased tenfold since 2002, reaching 74.9 billion dollars in 2023 Yet, amounts allocated to reproductive rights and health dropped by 27% in 2023 compared to 2022, according to the report Donors Delivering for SRHR 2025 by the Deutsche Stiftung Weltbevölkerung (DSW). Furthermore, only 4.3 % of the total bilateral ODA from the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) countries was dedicated to SRHR in 2023, amounting to 10.77 billion dollars. In the same year, France allocated 3.28 % of its ODA to SRHR, compared to 9.35 % for the United States, 6.15 % for Luxembourg, and 6.06 % for the Netherlands .    In January 2020, the United States reinstated the Global Gag Rule (also known as the Mexico City Policy). This measure suspends U.S. aid to foreign organizations that support access to abortion, regardless of the legal framework in the countries where they operate or their other sources of funding.According to the Guttmacher Institute, the suspension of this aid may already have deprived 11.7 million women and girls of access to contraceptives, led to 4.2 million unintended pregnancies, and caused over 8,000 deaths due to complications during pregnancy or childbirth.The

            [descriptif] => Ahead of 8 March, 2024, Focus 2030 commissioned representative surveys in France, Germany and Italy on the perceived state of gender inequalities nationally and internationally, and the measures to eradicate them.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] =>  Special report on gender inequality in 2024: These survey results are part of a special report dedicated to gender inequalities around the world in 2024, available in its entirety here. In the run-up to March 8, 2024, Focus 2030 commissioned Stack Data Strategy to survey people in France, Germany and Italy on the state of gender inequality in their countries and around the world, and on what needs to be done about it.The survey was conducted online using the quota method. The survey was conducted between February 16 and 22, 2024 among a representative sample of 1,496 adults in France, 1,499 in Italy and 1,534 in Germany. Data are weighted and the margin of error is ±2.5%.Low awareness of gender inequality at the national levelWhile the objective data available reveals that no country in the world has achieved gender equality, measuring respondents’ views reveals contrasting perceptions of inequality.On average, 51% of respondents believe that equality between women and men has not been achieved in their country, while 43% declare that it has. In France and Italy, more people believe (or are aware) that equality has not been achieved than the contrary, while in Germany the opposite situation is observed.In all three countries, more women (58%) than men (44%) declare that equality has not been achieved ('mostly not' or 'not at all'). The likelihood of respondents being aware of gender inequality increases with left-wing political orientation and, perhaps counter-intuitively, age (44% among 18-24 year-olds versus 57% among over-65s).Perceived stagnation in progress towards gender equality, both nationally and internationallyAsked about the evolution of gender equality in their own country over the last five years, which saw the emergence of an international public debate with the #MeToo movement, respondents in France, Germany and Italy were more likely to agree that equality had stayed the same (46%), than mostly progressed (34%). Here again, women (62%) are more likely than men (54%) to feel that equality has stagnated or regressed.People’s perceptions differ depending on whether they are asked about the situation of women in their own country or on a global scale. When the question mentions the evolution of gender equality in the world, opinions are even more pessimistic, possibly influenced by the media coverage of recent crises that have disproportionately affected women and girls: Afghanistan, Iran, Poland, Ukraine, the reversal of Roe v. Wade in the USA...Feminists without naming itIn all three countries, the term 'feminist' elicits support and rejection in equal measure. In France, opinions are divided; in Germany, more people do not consider themselves feminists; while in Italy, a small majority declare themselves feminists. In all three countries, and perhaps unsurprisingly, more women (47%) than men (36%) consider themselves feminists, and younger people are slightly more likely to declare themselves feminists than their elders (45% of 18-24 year-olds versus 38% of 55-64 year-olds and 41% of over-65s on average).On the other hand, when asked about their support for the principle defended by the feminist cause (ensuring that women and men have the same rights and opportunities, and fighting gender-based discrimination), a large majority of people in France, Germany and Italy support this principle (71%), with a narrower contrast between the responses of women (72%) and men (67%).These data point to a dissociation between the word and the principle, and raise questions about the reasons for such a discrepancy, whether it’s a misunderstanding or a set of negative ideas and representations associated with the term 'feminist'. Nevertheless, seven out of ten people agree with the principle, and it is almost equally adhered to, whatever the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents.Strong support for feminist foreign policies to promote women’s rights worldwideAfter Sweden in 2014, several countries have officially adopted a feminist foreign policy, or 'feminist diplomacy', as in the case of France and Germany. Conversely, other countries, such as Italy, have chosen to promote traditionalist and conservative values through their foreign policy.Nevertheless, respondents in France, Germany and Italy declare majority support for the adoption of feminist foreign policies. This support is strongest in France (71%), followed by Italy (59%) and Germany (48%). Considering the large proportion of people who say they are neither in favor nor opposed (28% on average), net opposition to such a measure is actually very modest (9%).In France, women are more in favor of feminist diplomacies than men (+7 percentage points), as are the over-65s (+6 points compared to the average). Education and income levels have little influence on responses.Enshrining access to abortion in the Constitution: strong support and a powerful signal to other countriesOn March 4, 2024, France became the first country in the world to make abortion access a constitutional right. A measure supported by a large majority of people in France, Germany and Italy (64% on average).The constitutionalization of abortion is not strongly rejected by any category of the population in any of the three countries, with the exception of those on the far right of the political spectrum in Germany (19% are opposed) and Italy (18%).Furthermore, according to 61% of respondents in all three countries, by adopting this measure, France could encourage other countries to guarantee the right to abortion. 67% in France identify a possible knock-on effect.

            [text] => In the run-up to March 8, International Women’s Day, and as part of its special edition on the state of inequality in the world in 2024, Focus 2030 wants to put forward the stakeholders who try to achieve gender equality on a daily basis.  The Gender in Geopolitics Institute is the only think tank in France that uses gender as a tool to explore and understand the complex realities of international affairs.Interview with Alice Apostoly and Déborah Rouach, Co-founders and co-directors of The Gender in Geopolitics InstituteFocus 2030 : In 2020, you founded The Gender in Geopolitics Institute, a think tank that analyses international issues from a gender perspective. Four years on, what are your primary constatations ? To what extent has the IGG succeeded in establishing itself among feminist organizations and international solidarity players ?Alice Apostoly et Déborah Rouach : Since the creation of our think tank, we have witnessed the rise of conservative anti-gender and anti-rights ideologies shared on an international level, by influential countries that are attacking the rights of women and LGBTI+ ever more violently. Women’s right to freely dispose of their bodies has been taken over in the USA and Poland, the feminist cause is openly denigrated by masculinist politicians for political ends as in South Korea and India, and women’s bodies are instrumentalized for the benefit of a natalist discourse in France and Hungary.The progress made in feminism over the last years, led by the international MeToo movement to denounce sexist and sexual violence based on gender, have provoked sexist and misogynist reactions that have become commonplace in all areas of society, and notably in politics with the far right.Thus, our societies are increasingly polarized between progressivism and conservatism. This polarization even reaches the spheres of feminist organizations, by the time dialogue and cooperation are urgently needed.In this context, the Institut du Genre en Géopolitique (IGG) strives to produce well-argued, popularized, open-access research to raise society’s awareness and stand up against the masculinist and conservative rhetoric that is gaining increasing ground in politics and public and political debate.The IGG has been able to legitimize its expertise in analyzing international issues through a gender lens and has, in fact, succeeded in exposing the need to think international relations and global challenges differently to create egalitarian, inclusive, just and livable societies. Through over 400 published research papers and recommendations, we defend the transformative potential of international cooperation based on human rights, intersectionality, and inclusion.We take part in the creation of dialogues and exchanges with a diversity of associative, institutional, and private actors in France and internationally, to create a positive and progressive counter-power in favor of the rights of women and LGBTI+ people. The 300 volunteers welcomed to the IGG since its creation enabled our work. It is very important to us that the IGG provides a springboard for young professionals, researchers and students. We’d like to thank them all on this March 8 !Focus 2030 : You are about to publish a study analyzing how countries that committed to feminist diplomacy are actually implementing it. What are the main conclusions of this report ? How is France different from countries such as Spain and Germany ?Alice Apostoly et Déborah Rouach : Although many countries have committed to fight for women’s rights and gender equality at an international level,only a dozen countries have officially adopted a feminist foreign policy. Although the main objectives differ from a country to another, each objective constitute awareness-raising actions within bilateral and multilateral bodies, and of national and international programs in favor of women’s rights - and sometimes those of LGBTI+ minorities.We observe common trends in countries from the Global North and Global South. Countries in the Global North that have already committed to gender equality, prior to the adoption of their feminist foreign policy, prioritize official development assistance and support for grassroots feminist initiatives as vectors for sustainable change. Countries from the Global South often have to work harder to align their public policies with their stated commitments to women’s rights and gender equality. But they offer an innovative approach, considering women in all their diversity, whether they are members of the LBTI+ community, racialized, poor, etc.An intersectional and decolonial approach are essential in order to take into account the multiple forms of discrimination, the fight against systemic inequalities, and promote truly inclusive solutions that promote gender equality and social justice.The feminist foreign policies studied could greatly benefit from a more cross-functional approach. A strengthened inter-ministerial approach would imply greater collaboration between the various foreign affairs ministries and actors. In terms of financial commitments, a cross-cutting approach would guarantee gender-sensitive budgets in all sectors and maximize the impact of allocated resources. Political stability, which ensures the sustainability of the fight for gender equality, would be strengthened by integrating the gender perspective in a coherent and systematic way.France announces the implementation of its feminist diplomacy in 2019, followed by Spain in 2020 and Germany in 2021. By positioning itself as one of the leaders of this policy, France intends to maintain an important role in international negotiating bodies in the field of gender equality. The guideline focuses on sexual and reproductive health and rights, and support for grassroots feminist organizations.Through its official development assistance, France supports equality between women and men in a wide range of sectors, including education, entrepreneurship, SRHR, the fight against gender-based violence and climate change. Every year since the adoption of its feminist diplomacy, France has increased the funds allocated to support feminist organizations and UN agencies. The austerity plan, announcing a reduction of 800 million euros allocated to official development assistance will weaken this feminist ambition and the commitments made by France as part of Law no. 2021-1031 of August 4, 2021 on programming for inclusive development and the fight against global inequalities.Unlike Germany, France’s approach is not holistic. It does not address defense and security, trade or digital issues. Spain has also distinguished itself by drawing up a detailed guide to its feminist foreign policy, providing a clear framework for the practical implementation of this approach and a coherent roadmap for orienting Spanish diplomatic action towards feminist objectives. To date, French feminist diplomacy lacks a clear definition.In addition, France needs to assert its positions more firmly in multilateral bodies : greater political support would boost the country’s visibility and influence on the international scene, and enable it to take a leading role in the fight for gender equality.Focus 2030 : What do you think of France’s position on the United Nations’ Women, Peace and Security Agenda ? To what extent is France’s feminist foreign policy reflected in the resolution of current conflicts and crises ?Alice Apostoly et Déborah Rouach : For France to truly embody the feminist values it promotes on the international scene, it is imperative that the country gives concrete expression to its commitments to feminist diplomacy. France contributed to the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on the Women, Peace and Security Agenda. France has adopted its third national plan for 2021-2025 with 4 flagship commitments : prevention by raising awareness of the issues involved in combating gender-based violence, women’s rights, and gender equality ; protection of women and girls and the fight against impunity ; women’s participation in decisions relating to peace and security ; promotion of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda and the National Action Plan.While feminist diplomacy should mean defending the fundamental rights of women regardless

            [text] => In the run-up to March 8, International Women’s Day, and as part of its special edition on the state of inequality in the world in 2024, Focus 2030 wants to put forward the stakeholders who try to achieve gender equality on a daily basis. Partnering with civil society, the Generation Equality Forum is a global gathering designed to promote gender equality.Interview with Delphine O, Ambassador and General Secretary of the Forum Génération ÉgalitéFocus 2030 : On the occasion of March 8th, France wishes to highlight the crucial role of women in conflict resolution, prevention and resolution, as well as in peacebuilding. This agenda aligns with Resolution 1325 'Women, Peace and Security', unanimously adopted by the United Nations Security Council in 2000. Could you tell us more about France’s position on this issue and the actions planned to implement this agenda ?Delphine O : In Ukraine, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Israel and Gaza, women are the primary civilian victims of violence in crises and conflicts. They represent most Ukrainian civilians who had to flee the country following the Russian aggression of February 19, 2022. With no access to economic resources and limited mobility, they are also specific targets of sexual violence in conflict zones.Resolution 1325 and the Women, Peace and Security Agenda unanimously adopted by the United Nations Security Council on October 31, 2000, recognized both their special status as victims and the specific role that girls and women can and must play in preventing conflicts and contributing to their resolution, by helping to build peace. Yet in 24 years, the situation has not changed significantly, and the urgency remains the same. On the one hand, in 2022, 614 million women and girls were living in countries affected by conflict, exposed to an increased risk of sexual violence used as a weapon of war. On the other hand, women’s full and equal participation in conflict resolution and peacebuilding remains largely insufficient. The recent events and the growing number of armed conflicts remind us of our international obligations to protect women and promote their role in negotiations.In 2021, France adopted a third national action plan for the Women, Peace and Security Agenda for the period 2021-2025, which emphasizes the importance of the full, equal and meaningful participation of women and girls in the maintenance of peace and security, as well as the need to combat all forms of sexual and gender-based violence in crisis and conflict situations. Our actions in this area are numerous, and have gained in intensity in recent years.France has supported the Global Fund for Survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence, created by Nobel Peace Prize laureates Dr. Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad, since its inception in 2018. It has renewed its financial contribution of 6 million euros for the next three years, following an initial contribution of 8.2 million euros over 2020-2022; the fund, active in the DRC, Guinea, Iraq and Turkey, will be investing in Ukraine. We have also stepped up our involvement in programs run by UNFPA and UN Women in Ukraine to help women victims of sexual violence, providing them with medical, psychological and economic support. Finally, France is deliberately committed to the fight against impunity, and has stepped up its support for the International Criminal Court’s investigation of war crimes, and in particular sexual crimes, in Ukraine, while providing direct support to the police and justice forces.The year 2024 will be a milestone year for French feminist diplomacy, which will adopt its International Strategy in this area. This strategy will place the rights of girls and women in the context of crises and conflicts at the heart of its priorities, in conjunction with the Humanitarian Strategy and the Prevention, Resilience and Sustainable Peace Strategy of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs.Focus 2030 : You are the Ambassador and Secretary General of the Generation Equality Forum (GEF), that took place in 2021, an initiative that raised \$40 billion in commitments for gender equality and during which France pledged to allocate 400 million euros in favor of Sexual and Reproductive Rights (SRHR) over the following five years. Given the numerous backlashes against women’s rights around the world, starting with the Roe vs Wade reversal in 2022 in the United States, do you think that the French initiative to constitutionalize the 'freedom guaranteed to women' to access abortion could send a strong signal to the rest of the world ?Delphine O : The Generation Equality Forum, which France hosted in Paris in 2021, co-chaired with Mexico and under the aegis of UN Women, launched six Action Coalitions, including the Action Coalition on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, of which France is the champion. To this end, France has pledged 400 million euros to promote SRHR between 2021 and 2025. The promotion of SRHR is absolutely crucial, as these rights lie at the crossroads of three priorities: the promotion of human rights and fundamental individual freedoms, the defense of gender equality, and public health.The international scene is full of contrasts when it comes to abortion rights. On the one hand, several countries have recently legalized abortion, sometimes discreetly (Argentina, Benin, Sierra Leone), while others have extended the legal waiting period (Thailand) or facilitated medical abortion (Japan). On the other hand, many countries have tightened their legislation (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, USA), or have taken a step backwards, putting hundreds of millions of women at risk. These counter-attacks, this 'backlash' against rights that were thought to have been taken for granted, are taking place in a frontal and totally 'unabashed' manner, in a worrying context of rising anti-rights movements, which openly advocate a regression in the rights of girls, women and LGBT people.By becoming the first country in the world to enshrine abortion in the Constitution, France would be sending out an extremely strong signal in favor of the freedom of all women worldwide, in this context of shrinking rights.In addition to securing the abortion right in France, which is essential regarding the regressions observed, even in neighboring European countries (Poland, Italy), this historic legal advance carries an essential message: we will not let ourselves be taken for a ride, and we will be intransigent with regard to fundamental rights. Unlike the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, which prompted governments to toughen their anti-abortion legislation and galvanized anti-rights movements, the constitutionalization of abortion in France could encourage other states to strengthen the protection of this right, or even to follow the French example. This is a message of hope for women and feminist movements worldwide.Focus 2030 : You recently wrote a book entitled 'La diplomatie féministe est un sport de combat' (Feminist diplomacy is a combat sport), which takes stock of the struggle for gender equality since the beginning of the 20th century. The internationalization of the fight for women’s rights has since been characterized by numerous summits, events and movements, and today fifteen countries have officially adopted a feminist foreign policy. Beyond the differences between each of these countries, what directions do you think need to be taken to advance the cause of equality faster and stronger ?Delphine O : In order to advance the cause of gender equality faster and stronger, and to better protect the rights of women and girls at risk, collaboration between various players is key. We work closely with states that have a feminist foreign policy, but we also need to form coalitions with governments that are less advanced in this area, on every continent; with private sector companies and philanthropic foundations, whom we encourage to invest more in the field of gender equality. This was the spirit of the Génération Egalité Forum - to create multi-stakeholder coalitions that transcend geographical, cultura

            [title] => 3 questions to Maria Grazia Panunzi, President and Advocacy Manager, AIDOS

            [text] => In the run-up to March 8, International Women’s Day, and as part of its special edition on the state of inequality in the world in 2024, Focus 2030 wants to put forward the stakeholders who try to achieve gender equality on a daily basis. AIDOS - Associazione Italiana Donne per lo Sviluppo (Italian Association of Women for Development) works for the rights, dignity and freedom of choice of women and girls worldwide.Interview with Maria Grazia Panunzi, President and advocacy manager, AIDOSFocus 2030 : Italy does not officially have a feminist foreign policy, and the actions of the current Conservative government don’t seem to be in favor of the adoption of measures in this direction. In this context, Italy will hold the G7 presidency, from June 13 to 15 in Borgo Egnazia. What role will gender inequality play in the summit’s agenda? Can you tell us more about the W7, the group of civil society organization promoting women rights in this arena? What are your ambitions in this context ?Maria Grazia Panunzi : Gender equality is set as one of the Italian G7 priorities. This priority will focus on the elimination of gender-based violence, including harmful practices and any form of discrimination; the promotion of women’s participation in policy making processes; the gender pay gap, care work; the impact of climate change on women’s life; the interlinkages with war and food security.Women 7, created in 2018, is one of the official G7 engagement groups and focuses on gender equality and women’s empowerment, bringing together associations from different countries, including those that are not a part of the G7. The group’s mission is to bring attention to equality as both a specific issue and a cross-cutting theme in the work of the G7. This transversality can be seen in several key issues, such as tackling gender stereotypes, access to education, with a focus on STEM disciplines, access to health and, in particular, sexual and reproductive health and rights. Gender equality is closely linked to the fight against poverty, and the issues we have mentioned are vital in reducing poverty, especially for women who often face multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination.
We have an advisory group of 72 people from 30 countries that aims at developing a W7 communiqué delivered to the Italian prime minister and other institutional representatives at the W7 summit on May 8 and 9 in Rome.I think it is important not to go back on the positions expressed by the Japanese G7 presidency on gender equality and women’s rights, where there was a commitment 'to work with all segments of society to ensure the full, equal and meaningful participation of women and girls in all their diversity and LGBTQIA+ persons in politics, business, education and all other spheres of society, and to consistently mainstream gender equality in all policy areas.'In addition, I think it is crucial to have concrete actions and initiatives supported by adequate and appropriate financial resources to contribute to the achievement of the 5th SDG of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and to increase the ODA of G7 countries for gender equality and, in particular, for sexual and reproductive health and rights as a critical part of Universal Health Protection (UHC).Focus 2030 : According to the OECD, only 5% of Italy’s bilateral aid supports women rights as a main objective, i.e. 42 million dollars per year on average between 2020 and 2021. As a result, Italy ranks 19th among 28 nations providing resources to tackle gender inequality. As an advocacy NGO specialized in those issues, do you envision any potential progress in the future ?Maria Grazia Panunzi :Increasing the share of the ODA to support women’s rights and gender equality as main objective is a political decision, it is a matter of firmly believing that gender equality is the basis for the sustainable development.In 2022 Italy increased its ODA for sexual and reproductive health and rights compared to 2021. This increase was due to the allocation of major funds (UNICEF, UNFPA) to specific programs in humanitarian contexts. If this increase will be maintained, it is possible to think that Italy will make some progress and increase its position in the OECD ranking.Focus 2030 : At an international level, millions of women do not have access to modern contraception methods. 12 million women lost access to contraception during the pandemic leading to 1.4 million unintended pregnancies. As an organization dedicated to SRHR with field experience for more than 43 years, what are your key recommendations to drastically advance access to contraception and meet the SDGs targets ?Maria Grazia Panunzi :Increase information and awareness raising activities, especially targeting young people, in particular girls, on sexual and reproductive rights and remove any barriers to contraception information and services. To ensure that everyone not only has the right to SRH, but also access to this right, we must work at every level of society: strengthening public health services and more specifically community health services, improving access to education for girls, working towards the elimination of gender stereotypes, promoting the empowerment and self-determination of girls and adolescents, and so on.Increase services, including youth friendly space and online services, to provide information on SRHR and more specifically contraception options.Support UNFPA as the main agency working on contraception and SRHR at large.Scale up the financial support for CSOs working on sexual and reproductive rights and gender equality.These recommendations are crucial to meet today’s challenges and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs by ensuring that all women have equitable access to contraceptive services and can fully exercise their sexual and reproductive health rights.NB: The opinions expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the ideas of Focus 2030.

This year will be characterized by the European Parliament elections, the Summit of the Future as well as the Italian presidency of the G7 and the Brazilian presidency of the G20. What are the highlights of the Sustainable Development Goals agenda in 2024 ?With the agreement of the Council of the European Union, Spain will hold a peace conference on the conflict between Israel and Hamas in April 2024 📆. Elections for the European Parliament will be held from June 6 to 9 📆. The first European Parliament elections since Brexit is expected to be one of the most contentious elections given the rise of far right parties and will determine the European Union’s involvement in solidarity-related issues. The 29th Ibero-American Summit in November 2024 📆 will bring together presidents and prime ministers of 22 Spanish-speaking countries in Quito, Ecuador, to address issues such as the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, youth employment, indigenous rights and cross-border migration. The 29th Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) will take place from September 11 to 22 📆 in Bakou, the capital of Azerbaijan. The State Parties will negotiate a new collective goal for climate financing, which is the amount that rich countries commit to pay each year to the most vulnerable countries in order to support them to fight climate change. On the occasion of this event, the Spanish government plans to organize a high-level seminar on climate change and children.  During 2024, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation plans to approve a new Master Plan for Spanish Cooperation and a new Strategy for Global Health (dates still need to be confirmed). The Ministry also intends to make progress in the administrative reform of the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) and a reform of the cooperation system as a whole, as indicated in the new Sustainable Development Law.

            [descriptif] => ODA rose by 17% in real terms between 2021 and 2022, totalizing USD 211 billion and 0.37% of the combined GNI of DAC members.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] =>  This article presents the official development assistance figures for the main OECD donors in 2022. For the latest available statistics, please consult this articleOn January 22, 2024, the OECD published the final figures for the amounts allocated by donor countries to Official Development Assistance (ODA) in 2022.ODA issued by members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) reached a historical level of USD 211 billion in 2022 or 0.37% of the combined gross national income of DAC countries. This is the highest level ever. Latest intel and analyses. ODA REACHES A NEW HIGH IN 2022 In 2022, ODA from DAC countries amounted to USD210,7 billion (about EUR 200 billion at 2022 exchange rates), an increase of 17% in real terms over 2021.However, this increase is largely due to increased spending on refugees in donor countries, which reached USD 31 billion (up from USD 13 billion in 2021, an increase of 147% in real terms), or 14.6% of total DAC member country ODA in 2022, a record high. Excluding these expenditures, total ODA increased by 7.3 percent in real terms compared to 2021, and decreased in ten countries.The increase in ODA in 2022 is also driven by the surge in support for Ukraine following its invasion by Russia (8.4% of total ODA, or USD 17,6 billion, compared to USD 922 million the previous year). On the other hand, while spending to support activities to combat the Covid-19 pandemic has declined by 33% from 2021, it still accounts for 6.8% of total ODA (14.4 billion).In addition, support for the world’s poorest countries (Least Developed Countries or LDCs) has fallen by 4% between 2021 and 2022, mainly due to reduced support for these countries’ response to Covid-19. On average, support for LDCs has fallen from an average of 31% of total ODA between 2010 and 2021 to 23% in 2022. Despite the target of allocating 0.08% of DAC members’ GNI to LDCs, only four countries are meeting this commitment. This amount represents 0.37% of the combined gross national income of DAC countries in 2022. Although this ratio had not been reached since 1982, it remains far below the 0.7% GNI/ODA target, which was adopted back in... 1970 by industrialized countries the United Nations.Only Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, Germany allocate at least 0.7% of their national wealth to international solidarity. However, it should be noted that 21 of the 30 DAC countries (in 2022) have increased their ODA compared to 2021, some of them significantly: Poland and Ireland (+268% and +121%, respectively, due to a sharp increase in the cost of hosting refugees on their territories, but also due to an increase in their contributions to international organizations), or Lithuania (+173%, due to hosting refugees on its territory as well as its support to Ukraine).  Overall, ODA for bilateral projects and programs and technical cooperation increased by 19% compared with 2021, while DAC members’ contributions to the budgets of multilateral organizations fell by 5%.An increase in ODA since the adoption of the Sustainable development goalsSince 2017, net ODA has increased by 35%. ODA budgets increased steadily between 2013 and 2016, when it first peaked, driven in particular by the influx of refugees into Europe, and the associated in-country refugee costs. In 2017, 2018, and 2019, it decreased due to the decline in refugee-related expenditures. In 2020 and again in 2021 and 2022, ODA reached its highest level on record, driven in part by support in the context of the Covid-19 crisis as well as the war in Ukraine and its consequences for the displaced populations.  France, fourth largest donor country in volume France’s aid rose by 13% in 2022 compared to 2021, totalizing USD 16 billion (approximately EUR 15,2 billion), or 0.56% of France’s GNI, in line with the financial trajectory adopted by France in 2018.According to the OECD, this increase in French aid is mainly due to a large increase in aid to sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the cost of hosting refugees on its territory (which represents 9.6% of French ODA in 2022). France has also allocated 2.9% of its ODA to support Ukraine. In addition, the sharing of vaccine doses in excess of its domestic supply represents 1.7% of the total.Despite this increase, France is still far from the 0.7% target. While it ranks fourth among donor countries in terms of volume after the United States, Germany and Japan, it has fallen to 10th place in terms of the proportion of its gross national income.Find out more about the final figures for ODA in 2022.

            [timestamp] => 1705532400
            [descriptif] => Only 10% of French people say they know what the SDGs are. Understanding is even lower when it comes to the details.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => If 10% of French people claim to know 'what the Sustainable Development Goals are', their perception of the SDGs still seems to be fairly vague, with many respondents selecting 'Don’t know' or fairly random answers to more detailed questions.This lack of awareness remains very stable between September 2019 and October 2023.To which countries to the Sustainable Development Goals apply?On average, 21% of respondents know (or understand) that the SDGs apply universally to all countries. More men (26%) than women (16%) correctly answer this question, but this result should be considered keeping in mind that women are consistently more likely to give a 'don’t know' answer than men in opinion polls. For instance, there’s an 18 percentage point difference between men’s 'don’t know' (38%) and women (56%).Clearly, the scope of the SDGs is better known among French people between 18 and 24 years old, who are the most likely to have selected the correct answer 'all countries of the world'. There is a difference of 6 percentage points between respondents aged 18 to 24 and those over 45.Among those who have correctly selected the right answer there are slightly more center or right wing voters than left wing voters (+4 percentage points), which can be confirmed by the 'don’t know' rate.Unsurprisingly, the higher the level of education, the better the knowledge of the SDGs. 25% of respondents who declare to have at least Bac+2 know that the SDGs apply to every country in the world, ie. +7 percentage points compared to those who say they have no more than a baccalauréat.How many Sustainable Development Goals are there?This seemingly simple question immediately demonstrated the lack of knowledge about the SDGs amongst the French public. 90% were not able to know how many SDGs had been agreed (by the United Nations) in the 2030 Agenda. It corresponds to the highest 'don’t know' rate in this series of questions. Only 10% knew there were 17 Goals, i.e. +2 percentage points compared with the data  collected in August 2021. While this figure is probably partly based on chance, it is nevertheless consistent with the 10% of French people who say they know what the SDGs are (data from October 2023).When we delve a bit deeper into the answer, once again we can observe how much people from 18 to 44 have better knowledge than older generations of the SDGs, ie. +10 percentage points.For reasons that might be correlated with other factors (level of education, age, etc.), center and right-wing supporters are also twice as likely as left-wing supporters to be able to give an answer to this question. This observation is confirmed by the 'don’t know' rates.On this point, there’s no consistency between a higher level of education and the ability to select the right answer, although fewer respondents with at least a Bac+2 declared that they couldn’t answer this question.Even if some French people are aware of the existence of the SDGs, the correct figure (17 SDGs) doesn’t seem to be so easily appropriated by people. Always associating the figure '17' with the word 'SDG' could easily make a difference in this respect.What is the deadline to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals?This is the detail question that now has the most correct answers. In August 2018, only 12% of French people were able to select '2030'. Three years later, in August 2021, the rate of correct answers rose to 32%, a strong increase (+20 percentage points), suggesting that the deadline for the SDGs is much better known. In fact, in October 2023, 25% of respondents were able to identify the correct answer, which means that from one survey wave to the next, a proportion of responses are probably due to chance. The 'don’t know' rate in 2018 (63%) also fell in 2021 (41%), before rising again in 2023 (51%).Significantly more center-leaning supporters (15%) than those on the left (7%) or right (5%) have selected '2030'. Furthermore, the rate of correct answers to this question related to the deadline for the 2030 Agenda is distributed in similar proportions according to the socio-demographic discriminants in terms of age or level of education like in the two questions above.

            [descriptif] => On average, a quarter of people questioned in France, Germany, the UK and the US have heard of the SDGs.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Unsurprisingly, there is a lack of knowledge and understanding of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a framework adopted in 2015 by 193 countries. Only a small minority of people seem to have heard of the SDGs.When we look at the responses collected in France, Germany, the UK and the USA, only a minority of respondents (between 8% and 12%) claim to have already heard of it 'while knowing what it is'. Actually, this percentage has remained relatively stable over the survey waves since 2019.The proportion of those who admit not knowing at all what the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are, ranges from 51% among the French to 68% among the British. If we look at the distribution of percentages across the four possible answers, it’s in the UK that knowledge of the SDGs seems to be the least spontaneous.Actually, among respondents who claim to 'know what the SDGs are without really knowing what they are', the French are far more numerous than their German, British or American counterparts. On closer examination, there are wide fluctuations among the answers chosen, i.e. between those who choose the intermediate answer 'I know but I don’t know', those who answer 'no' with certainty, and those who simply 'don’t know' how to answer this question.Behind these disparities lie the influence of national public policies about environment, the degree of awareness of sustainable development in each country, and the semantic dimension attached to the expression 'sustainable development', which is probably used with different frequency in different languages and countries. For example, 'sustainable development' is particularly polysemous in French. The popularization of this concept, initiated at the Rio Conference in 1992, is illustrated in France by the adoption of public policies using the concept of 'sustainable development', newspaper columns dedicated to the topic, the appropriation of this concern and expression in corporate communications, even in the titles of ministries.What the majority of French people understand by Sustainable Development Goals undoubtedly refers in part to 'sustainable development' in its ecological and environmental dimension. In previous waves of surveys, we noted that when the same populations were questioned without any reference to the United Nations in the phrasing of the question, awareness of the SDGs was suddenly much higher in France. This suggested that some respondents tended to claim to know about 'sustainable development' without properly answering the question on knowledge of the SDGs.QUESTIONS ASKED IN FRANCE IN 2018 TO COMPARE THE INFLUENCE OF THE REFERENCE TO THE 'UNITED NATIONS'This data comes from our survey conducted by the YouGov Institute and piloted by the research team at University College London and the University of Birmingham as part of the project Development Engagement Lab project and the Aid Attitudes Tracker which measure the evolution of opinions and behaviors on issues of international solidarity in four countries.

            [text] => 3 questions to Achim Steiner, Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)Written interview received on December 20, 2023.Focus 2030: The multiplication of crises, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the re-emergence of conflict in the Middle East, the historic indebtedness faced by 52 developing countries, and unfulfilled promises in terms of development aid, financing the climate transition or in-depth reforms of the international financial architecture, have clearly contributed to the fragmentation of the international community. Some commentators speak of a situation unseen since the fall of the Berlin Wall, others of the 'return of the North-South divide', while others still describe the state of health of the United Nations as 'brain-dead'. To what extent is this polarization affecting international cooperation, which is so essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals? How do you see this inability of nations in working together? What consequences do you observe in your day-to-day actions?Achim Steiner: We are seeing a world in perhaps its greatest state of flux since the foundation of the United Nations in 1945. There may not be a world war, but we are seeing the highest number of violent conflicts around the world since then including Gaza, Ukraine, Haiti, and Yemen along with ‘forgotten crises’ like Myanmar and Sudan. They have dramatically reversed hard-won development progress, sometimes by generations. Being also a mirror of the world, when geopolitics is in upheaval, that makes some of the work of the United Nations (UN) more difficult, particularly when the Security Council is divided. As sovereign members of the UN, all countries have an equal voice: still one of the organization’s greatest assets. At the same time, they have vastly different resources and power and often diverging interests. Yet every day, across the globe, the UN family continues to be an effective partner to many countries across its three pillars - peace, human rights, and development - despite geopolitical tensions.For instance, that includes Afghanistan where we are working to help create new jobs and livelihoods for hundreds of thousands of people, many of them women; to the Continent of Africa where we are rolling out life-changing access to clean, affordable energies that will help to drive down poverty and advance climate action. Or consider the operation led by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the UN with the support of many countries earlier this year to safely remove over one million barrels of oil from the decaying FSO Safer supertanker that was stranded off the coast of Yemen. In doing so, we prevented an environmental and humanitarian catastrophe with global ramifications.The UN continues to be the world’s foremost means to bring countries together to talk; to resolve and prevent conflict; and find new avenues to cooperate. The UN is far from perfect, but this unifying strength of the organization and its ability to bring improvements to the daily lives of millions of people across the world -guided by the Sustainable Development Goals’ (SDGs) clear vision of what the future can look like - demonstrate how it is still taking the world forward unlike any other institution. Focus 2030: The results of COP28 seem to demonstrate that through cooperation, debates based on science, and citizen mobilizations, multilateralism is not dead and that significant agreements are still possible at the multilateral level despite the multiple conflicts and competitions between nations. What immediate assessment do you draw from these negotiations?Achim Steiner: COP28 was a moment when many thought that multilateralism would fail. Yet this UN Climate Change Conference was the foundation for nearly 200 countries to come together and formally agree to “transition away” from fossil fuels in a just and equitable manner for the first time: a vital step forward in our efforts to address the very core of humanity’s climate problem. There are understandable frustrations that the agreed language could have been stronger, but it remains the most unequivocal signal to date that the world is moving beyond fossil fuels towards a new era of clean, renewable energies. The declaration should be considered the startpoint for more ambition, not the endpoint.While the operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund will help those suffering most from the effects of climate change, COP negotiations continue to fall short on unlocking sufficient finance to allow climate-vulnerable countries to carry out climate action at the level of ambition necessary. At COP28, climate resources did not dramatically increase to support the most vulnerable nations to end the use of fossil fuels and to adapt to the catastrophic effects of a hotter climate that we see happening every day around the world. This critical issue of freeing up sufficient finance to address the climate crisis will be the focus of next year’s COP. However, we cannot wait another year. Investments need to happen now. It is time for a surge in finance, including for mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, and reform of the international financial architecture. Powered by this fit-for-purpose financial framework, extraordinary technology like artificial intelligence, and human ingenuity, countries must work together to decarbonize their economies in a way that is just and equitable for all. Focus 2030: The year 2024 will be marked by a series of summits, the outcome of which could prove decisive for the course of the world. The G20 under the Brazilian presidency, the G7 under the Italian presidency, the Summit of the Future on the occasion of the 79th General Assembly of the United Nations, the proposed adoption by the WHO of a treaty to improve pandemic preparedness, COP29, the Commission on the Status of Women, the World Bank and IMF World Assemblies. From your point of view, what does 2024 have in store for us?Achim Steiner: The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres has underlined the pressing need for more efforts to directly address a series of financing issues in the interests of global, financial, and macroeconomic stability. It comes as we are seeing how the current financial system constrains, rather than facilitates, access to capital for the geographies and sectors where it is needed most. At the same time, UNDP analysis found that low-income countries are allocating more than twice as much money to servicing their debt as they do to social assistance, perpetuating chronic poverty and inequalities that are often the root causes of crisis or even conflict. Developing countries need \$4.3 trillion per year by 2030 to avoid the worst impacts of climate change yet they lack access to the financing to respond. This should be considered as a ‘co-investment’ by our global community as the consequences of climate inaction carries a much higher price tag for everyone.Like the Bretton Woods system that concluded that economic cooperation was the only way to achieve both peace and prosperity in the wake of global conflict, there is a pressing need for a new international financial architecture. It must align capital with sustainable development; and efforts to address the climate emergency, our global community’s greatest challenge since the Second World War. That will be amongst the key issues for Brazil’s Presidency of the G20 and Italy’s Presidency of the G7 to take forward in 2024. The UN is committed to continue supporting momentum in this critical area.Next year, the world will come together at the Summit of the Future to answer essential questions including how do we get ahead of the challenges to come? ‘Beyond GDP’ will also be high on the agenda as the world seeks to design the metrics of the future where progress is not merely measured by GDP growth but rather by decarbonisation, climate action, environmental restoration, and new opportunities for all. UNDP will also release the latest edition of its seminal Human Development Report in 2024, which will explore how to enhance collective action and address shared challenges in this era of polycrisis. The UN itself must continue to evolve, empowered by cutting-edge skills to turbocharge our support to people and planet. In short, now is a moment for nations united: working t

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => From 30 November to 12 December 2023, the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) took place in Dubai, bringing together stakeholders to discuss strategies, policies and actions to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. This year’s event was attended by over 80,000 people, including heads of state and government, members of international organizations, representatives of civil society and the private sector.The meeting provided an opportunity to draw up the first Global Stocktake of the COP21 decisions agreed by nations in Paris in 2015, which were aimed in particular at limiting global temperature warming to +1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. While a recent study warns of the possibility of reaching this limit within 5 years, and developing countries are already suffering disproportionately from the consequences of climate change, this COP28 marked a crucial step towards stepping up climate efforts.Focus 2030 compiled the major announcements and developments unveiled at COP28 in the areas of climate and development financing, gender equality, and global health, with a focus on France’s commitments. Analysis. Climate and development financingLoss and damage:A text for the operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund, a mechanism developing countries have called for the past 30 years, was adopted by the States Parties. Among other things, it states that the interim Secretariat of the Fund will be hosted by the World Bank for a period of four years, and does not define any financial targets for its funding.To date, industrialized countries have pledged US\$655 million to the Fund, with a further US\$115 million in financing to mobilize additional funds for loss and damage. However, the estimated financial needs for loss and damage are estimated at between \$290 and \$580 billion a year by 2030.In parallel, an agreement was reached on the Santiago network. Created in 2019, this network aims to minimize loss and damage in developing countries at local, national and regional levels. The decisions taken at COP28, in particular its hosting by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction and the UN Office for Project Services, make it now possible to officially launch the Santiago network.  France, Kenya, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda and Spain, supported by the European Climate Foundation, have jointly launched a taskforce dedicated to finding new avenues for international taxation (carbon tax on fossil fuel trade, shipping and aviation, global financial transaction tax, etc.) to finance development and climate action. The taskforce will present a progress report on its work at COP29, and concrete proposals for new sources of international taxation will be put forward at COP30. The creation of this taskforce is the result of a commitment made at the Paris Summit for a new global financial pact. Reform of the international financial architecture:The World Bank, the African Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Inter-American Development Bank, France and the United Kingdom have announced that they are extending the availability of debt suspension clauses in the event of climate-related disasters in their loan contracts.Multilateral development banks have issued a joint statement in which they pledge to develop a joint approach to reporting climate performance. They will launch a program to help stakeholders at national and local levels to develop long-term climate and development strategies, and to increase the amount of private capital devoted to climate investments, notably by working on regulations and developing new instruments.The United Arab Emirates has announced the reallocation of US\$200 million in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Resilience and Sustainability Trust (RST). This announcement brings total reallocation pledges to \$87.1 billion, still short of the G20 countries’ pledge to reach \$100 billion by 2021.The IMF reaffirmed its support for the reallocation of special drawing rights via multilateral development banks. France and Japan also indicated their support, in particular via the African Development Bank.The World Bank Group has pledged to devote 45% of its financing to the climate by 2025, i.e. \$40 billion annually, of which 50% for mitigation and 50% for adaptation.The Inter-American Development Bank has announced a tripling of its climate investments to \$150 billion over the next ten years. New commitments were made for the second replenishment of the Green Climate Fund, to reach a record \$12.8 billion. Pledges include \$3 billion from the United States, €2.2 billion from Germany, \$2 billion from the United Kingdom, €1.6 billion from France and \$1.2 billion from Japan. Thirteen countries, including India, France, Kenya, Barbados, the United States and the United Kingdom, have agreed on a Declaration on a Global Climate Finance Framework, aimed at making climate and development financing more available, accessible and affordable. Collective action, at the heart of this strategy, goes hand in hand with the need to leave no country behind, and to mobilize more public and private financing to meet today’s global challenges. The United Arab Emirates announced it will hold a forum on financing the fight against climate change in 2024. A study proposing a new climate finance framework, authored by Vera Songwe, Nicholas Stern, Amar Bhattacharya and Eléonore Soubeyran, has been released to identify new steps to finance the ecological transition. These steps include measures to reform multilateral development banks, promote debt sustainability, optimize tax policies and mobilize more private financing. Several multilateral dev

What are the key moments for gender equality in 2024?The UN Commission on the Status of Women, from March 11 to 22 in New York, will focus on accelerating the achievements of gender equality by tackling poverty and strengthening the consideration of this issue in institutions and funding. Around March 8 📆, the OECD will publish the 2022 data on ODA allocated to gender equality. In France, the Simone Veil Prize of the French Republic will be awarded. The 30th anniversary of the Conference on Population and Development from April 29 to May 3 📆, will be the opportunity to recall the importance of this program, which advocates people-centered development, rights and choices for all, and the pursuit of common goals such as peace and prosperity. Adoption and launch of France’s new strategy for its feminist diplomacy, in the first half of the year (TBC), will define France’s gender equality objectives. Every year, from November 25 to December 10 📆, the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence global campaign reminds us of the urgent need to fight injustice against women and girls around the world. From the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (November 25), to Human Rights Day (December 10), civil society organizations, activists and politicians are devoting 16 days to collective reflection, awareness-raising and action in favor of equality between women and men, and even more to the fight against violence against women.

            [descriptif] => Summary of France’s new global health strategy for 2023-2027.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => On October 12, 2023, the French government launched its new global health strategy at a conference held at the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon. This strategy defines France’s priorities for the 2023-2027 period to meet current global health challenges and contribute to the achievement of SDG3 worldwide by 2030.Vaccination, maternal and neonatal health, access to healthcare...: despite progress in global health over the past 20 years, many challenges remain. In 2022, 20.5 million children had still not received routine vaccinations, 2.1 million more than in 2019. Every two minutes, a mother dies from complications during pregnancy or childbirth.To meet these numerous challenges, France has identified strategic priorities and key actions to be implemented, with the ultimate aim of creating a new global health architecture. Summary.Strategic prioritiesHealth is a global objective, affecting every country on the planet, and is closely intertwined with other issues such as gender, economic inequality, human rights and climate change. The guiding principles of the French strategy integrate these intersections: they aim to promote access to health for all, through a 'One Health' approach, which recognizes the interdependence of human, animal and environmental health. They include respect for human rights and gender equality as sine qua non conditions for the implementation of effective health systems. Finally, the strategy is also founded on principles based on results and scientific methods, on the co-construction, ownership and sustainability of interventions, and on coherence and complementarity with other international strategies.These guiding principles underpin the three strategic priorities and nine specific objectives identified for the 2023-2027 period: Promote equitable, sustainable, resilient, adaptive and people-centered healthcare systems to achieve universal health coverage (UHC). This priority focuses specifically on the impacts of climate change on health, the promotion of people-centered health services and the strengthening of human resources for health. Promote the health and well-being of populations and prevent and combat disease at all stages of life by providing support for programs to prevent and promote health and well-being, develop integrated healthcare solutions and combat infectious diseases. Better anticipate, prevent, prepare for and respond to public health emergencies and climate change, with a 'One Health' approach, strengthening emergency preparedness mechanisms and their financing, and ensuring a coordinated and effective response.In addition to these three priorities, two cross-cutting themes, broken down into seven specific objectives, have been identified to implement this new strategy: Contribute to the creation of a new global health architecture through strengthening the functioning of multilateralism in health, promoting the regionalization of global health and contributing to the emergence of a shared vision of global health financing. Make public and private research and expertise levers for action and influence in support of the global health strategy through the coordination of French, francophone and European stakeholders in global health, training and capacity-building, support for the implementation of public policies, and strengthening dialogue between diplomats, scientists and the private sector.Key actionsFrance’s actions under this new strategy can be summed up in 3 main areas: Economic support for european and international initiatives aimed at reinforcing progress in terms of global health (WHO Academy, Global Fund, Unitaid, Gavi, GPEI, PREZODE, Pandemic Fund, IEE, MPCUE), United nations agencies (WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, UN Women), public development banks through the 'Finance en commun' network and international networks coordinating funding stakeholders (P4H, UHC 2030). France’s participation in European (ECDC, EMA) and international bodies (WHO, G7, G20, Quadripartite Alliance, UN, multilateral funds, Global health and foreign policy initiative) and support for the negotiation of progressive agreements, notably concerning the future international treaty on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, due to be adopted by the World Health Assembly in May 2024, and in work to revise the International Health Regulations (IHR). The implementation and continuation of bilateral actions to sustainably strengthen partner countries’ healthcare systems: hospital cooperation, technical assistance, support for civil society and community projects. This support will be carried out in particular through the mobilization of a range of French stakeholders such as the AFD Group, academic institutions, foundations, the private sector and NGOs.A monitoring committee, comprising players from government, public agencies, civil society organizations and the higher education and research sectors, will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the strategy.

            [descriptif] => Guillaume Lafortune, Vice President and Head of Paris office, UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, answers three questions on the state of the 2030 Agenda, ahead of the SDG Summit.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => On September 19 and 20, 2023, a SDG Summit will take place in New York, on the sidelines of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions and make commitments to accelerate implementation of the SDGs by 2030.In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 has conducted a series of interviews with representatives from governments, international organizations, NGOs, and think tanks.Discover our special edition on the SDG Summit and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit. Interview with Guillaume Lafortune, Vice President and Head of Paris office, UN Sustainable Development Solutions NetworkWritten interview received on September 15, 2023. Focus 2030  : The UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) has produced the Sustainable Development Report every year since 2015, assessing the progress of UN member states in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2023 report reveals that halfway to the 2030 deadline, the majority of the SDG targets will not be met. The SDG Summit will take place on September 18 and 19, on the sidelines of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Its aim is to mobilize the international community and secure commitments, including financial ones, to accelerate the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. What are your expectations for this crucial event ?Guillaume Lafortune : In 2015, when the 193 UN member countries adopted the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda, they also put in place mechanisms to monitor commitments. It is a very good thing. On one hand, each year, around forty countries present their SDG action plan to the international community as part of the High-Level Political Forum. These are the Voluntary National Reviews. On the other hand, under the auspices of the UN Statistical Commission, a global indicator framework for the SDGs was established. Finally, every four years, heads of states meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly to take stock of progress made globally on the SDGs and define major priorities for action.The SDG Summit in September 2023 is particularly important. The last meeting at heads of state level on the SDGs took place in September 2019. However, the world has changed a lot since then, with multiple and simultaneous crises and a slowdown, or even in many countries a regression, of SDG progress as shown in the latest edition of the SDSN Sustainable Development Report. If the trend continues, there is even a risk that the gap between rich and poor countries in sustainable development will be higher in 2030 than it was in 2015. At the mid-point, it is It is therefore important that heads of states adopt a joint and strong political declaration at the SDG summit renews the commitment of all UN Member States to work together to implement the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda.This SDG summit is part of a broader series of international meetings and processes that can help advance cooperation and financing for sustainable development over the next two years. In this regard, it is important to underline the diplomatic success of India during the G20 at the beginning of September which, despite the major divisions on the international scene, including within the G20 itself, managed to make the G20 adopt a joint declaration putting SDG actions and financing at the heart of this New Delhi. The integration of the African Union as a permanent member of the G20, which should therefore be renamed G21, is also a big step forward because from now on 1.4 billion individuals will be represented at these meetings.Then, the COP28 in Dubai, the Brazilian Presidency of the G20 in 2024 (followed by South Africa in 2025), the Summit of the Future in September 2024, but also the Olympic summit on sustainable development in July 2024 announced by President Macron at the end of August must also lead to the adoption of ambitious measures, particularly to unlock additional financing to implement the SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement. Focus 2030  : Released ahead of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, which took place on June 22 and 23, 2023 in Paris, the report highlights the need for a reform of the global financial architecture. This reform would be aimed at addressing chronic gaps in financing for the SDGs and reducing the growing disparities between high-income and low-income countries. Can you provide us with more details on the report’s specific recommendations for this reform, and explain how it could help close the financing gap for developing and emerging countries ?Guillaume Lafortune : At their core, the SDGs are an investment agenda, both in human capital (health, education, social protection) and infrastructure (access to electricity, clean energy, drinking water, transport, digital technologies). Disbursements are also needed to adapt existing infrastructure and to finance the rising costs related to the loss and damages caused by climate change, particularly in the most vulnerable countries. However, many developing countries do not have access to the financing needed to implement the SDGs. In the long term, the costs of inaction are greater than investments made today. There are also great opportunities, including for the private sector, to increase investments in sustainable development.In his opening speech to the United Nations General Assembly on September 20, 2022, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for an “SDG stimulus” to compensate for the deterioration of market conditions in developing countries and accelerate progress towards the SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement. By 2025, an additional US\$500 billion per year should be mobilized for SDG financing in developing countries. This is a large amount, but it corresponds to 0.5% of global GDP and a reasonable share of global savings. At SDSN, we emphasize four major action priorities :Reform the global financial architecture, in particular by increasing financing for multilateral development banks (including the World Bank) and public development banks ;An increase in Official Development Assistance (ODA), particularly in rich countries which have not reached the target of 0.7% of Gross National Product dedicated to ODA, but also an increase in the effectiveness of ODA ;Review of methodologies used by sovereign credit rating agencies to better consider the long-term growth potential of SDG investments ;The adoption of long-term investment framework and policy plans, the strengthening of administrative capacities and partnerships with various institutions in developing countries, in order to be able to effectively mobilize additional funds made available to implement the SDGs Focus 2030  : The SDSN also evaluates countries through the 'Spillover index', an instrument that measures the positive and negative impacts that a country’s commercial and financial activities have on the achievement of the SDGs outside its borders. Taking this index into account, France ranks 6th among the countries most advanced in achieving the 2030 Agenda, but 148th when considering spillovers. Which are France’s strengths and weaknesses in implementing this agenda ?Guillaume Lafortune : In a globalized world, State’s actions can have positive or negative effects on the ability of other States to achieve the SDGs. The 2030 Agenda and the SDGs recognize the importance of international spillovers. SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) calls for “policy coherence” for sustainable development, SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) highlights the need for more sustainable production and consumption and SDG 8 (Decent work and economy) calls for the eradication of child labor and modern slavery.Like other European and OECD countries, France generates some negative externalities on the rest of the world, partic

            [text] => On September 19 and 20, 2023, a SDG Summit will take place in New York, on the sidelines of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions and make commitments to accelerate implementation of the SDGs by 2030.In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 has conducted a series of interviews with representatives from governments, international organizations, NGOs, and think tanks.Discover our special edition on the SDG Summit and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit.  Interview with Delphine O, Ambassador and Secretary General of the Generation Equality ForumWritten interview received on September 5, 2023.Focus 2030  : The mid-point moment of the Generation Equality Forum, of which you are Secretary General, will be held on September 17, 2023 on the sidelines of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. This could be a crucial step in assessing the commitments announced in 2021 around the six 'Action Coalitions' launched at the conference, co-presided by France and Mexico. What are France’s ambitions for maintaining and accelerating the momentum created in favour of gender equality ? What do you think a successful mid-point moment would look like ?Delphine O : The Generation Equality Forum is one of the emblems and success stories of French feminist foreign policy. In 2021, we have invested a lot, both humanly and financially, to ensure the success of this international conference that had been awaited for a quarter of a century ! But the work hasn’t stopped since. The GEF is intended to be a long-term project : it is both a catalyst for commitments from governments and all stakeholders, and a unique advocacy platform. The political and financial momentum must be maintained if the Forum is to become a reference framework for gender equality and multi-stakeholder work. For the mid-point moment, France and Mexico are passing the torch to Iceland and Tanzania, proving the appeal of the concept and its success both in the North and the South. For our part, we remain committed to carrying the ' GEF brand ' in all multilateral and bilateral forums, and to supporting accountability.This mid-point moment is crucial : it allows us to come together and take stock of the progress made, but also of the challenges that lie ahead. A successful mid-point moment can take different forms : high-level political participation by various heads of state and private sector leaders, strong representation from the civil society sector and youth who contributed to the success of 2021, and of course new political, financial and programmatic commitments. Focus 2030  : How does France plan to contribute to the mid-point moment ? What concrete achievements would France like to highlight, particularly in relation to its commitments under the Action Coalition on Bodily Autonomy and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (’SRHR’), for which France is overseeing the follow-up ?Delphine O : We have of course reported on the commitments we have made in 2021, by contributing to the accountability exercise led by UN Women. This accountability report concerns the commitments made by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs within the action coalition you mentioned (400M euros over 5 years), but also the initiatives and commitments made by other ministries (Industry, Culture, Gender Equality, Sports...).Our commitments have been fully met : in 2021, 2022 and 2023, we have disbursed the amounts set out in the action coalition. The amounts indicated are not just figures : this funding represents as many projects, most of them led by feminist civil society, which are being implemented, enabling us to make concrete progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, and particularly SDG 5.To cite just one example, our financial commitments have enabled us to support civil society organizations within the framework of the Fonds de soutien aux organisations féministes (FSOF), to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescents and young people, to end female genital mutilation, and to combat gynecological and obstetric violence in Senegal. Focus 2030 : For many civil society organizations, the Generation Equality Forum represents an important step in putting gender equality issues on the agenda, both internationally and on a national level, as seen recently at the Women Deliver Conference in Kigali. Rarely have feminist movements been so audible and visible, and the United Nations has drawn up an alarming report on the achievement of SDG 5 by 2030, as revealed by the UN’s recent Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR) 2023. In your opinion, to what extent is it possible to relaunch a common dynamic to advance equality and women’s rights ?Delphine O :  The momentum is there, and we need to keep it going ! We know that there is a real risk that the rights of women and girls will be profoundly undermined in international forums. Since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action in 1995, which remain the reference documents, the balance of power has made it difficult to preserve the gains made in the texts adopted by the United Nations. At the United Nations General Assembly, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) and the Human Rights Council (HRC), France continues to defend the rights of women and girls, and in particular SRHR, which are the subject of major and repeated attacks.Nevertheless, more and more countries are adopting feminist foreign policies, and we are working hand in hand with like-minded countries to counter attempts at regression at the multilateral level. We make our funding available to feminist civil society, notably through the Fonds de Soutien aux Organisations Féministes.Unfortunately, the rise of anti-rights movements is being confirmed in all multilateral arenas, including on issues that were thought to be 'spared' by reactionary attacks, such as food security. At the Women Deliver conference in Kigali, the French delegation took the floor, clearly and repeatedly, to reaffirm its defense of sexual and reproductive health and rights, abortion rights and LGBT+ rights - in short, fundamental rights.We are part of the resistance to backlash : we are reacting to the rise of conservatism, by organizing with like-minded countries, by funding civil society organizations, and by developing a new strategy to guide our feminist foreign policy.   The opinions expressed in this interview are those of Delphine O and do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus 2030.This interview was translated by Focus 2030 from French.

            [descriptif] => CICID 2023 renews the priority objectives of France’s development and international solidarity policy. Analysis.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => The CICID, Interministerial Committee for International Cooperation and Development, a body chaired by the Prime Minister, met on July 18, 2023. The CICID’s conclusions set out a series of guidelines for France’s action in the fields of development and international solidarity. Analysis.Under the supervision of the Prime Minister, the CICID convenes the relevant departments of the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, the Secretariat of State for Development, Francophonie and International Partnerships, and the Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, to define a series of guidelines for France’s action in the field of development and international solidarity.The CICID follows the Presidential Development Council held on May 5, 2023, which set 10 priority objectives. These 10 objectives are reiterated in the CICID conclusions. The objectives :  Accelerating the phase-out from coal and finance renewable energies in developing and emerging economies to limit global warming to 1.5°C Protecting carbon and biodiversity reserves in forests and the oceans, to preserve the planet Investing in youth by supporting education and teacher training in developing countries Strengthening resilience to sanitary threats, including pandemics, by investing in primary health systems and supporting the training of health workers in fragile countries Promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa, a shared destiny for young people in Europe and Africa Mobilizing expertise and private and public funding for strategic, quality and sustainable infrastructures in developing countries Strengthening food sovereignty, notably in African countries Promoting human rights, democracy and fight disinformation and impunity Promoting women’s rights and gender equality, notably through supporting feminist organizations and institutions promoting women’s rights Supporting [France’s] partners in fighting illegal immigration and clandestine networks New features of this CICID include, in comparison with the 2018 edition :The postponement to 2030 of the target of allocating 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) to official development assistance, rather than 2025 as set out in the August 4, 2021 programming law on inclusive development and the fight against global inequalities. Nevertheless, France is determined to maintain its position as one of the world’s leading donors.Postponement of 0.7% target: 11 billion euros less to fight global inequalityAccording to Focus 2030 projections, meeting the target voted in 2021 of devoting 0.7% of France’s wealth to official development assistance by 2025 would mobilize almost 20 billion euros in 2025. Conversely, pushing back this target to 2030 would represent a shortfall of 10.9 billion euros for international development between 2025 and 2030.The reinforcement of official development assistance in the form of grants, with France currently being one of the world’s biggest lenders, and the experimentation of very concessional loans.The removal of a list of priority countries for France’s bilateral aid (previously 19 countries) in favor of a target set at 50% of the State’s bilateral financial effort towards the least developed countries (LDCs). This target will also be promoted at the multilateral level in relevant forums.The decision to include clauses suspending debt servicing in vulnerable countries in the event of major macroeconomic shocks resulting from climate-related disasters in concessional loans from the French Treasury and sovereign loans from the French Development Agency, in line with commitments made during the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact.A commitment to increase France’s humanitarian aid to one billion euros a year by 2025 (compared to EUR 500 million in 2022). The commitment to maintain the target of 6 billion euros per year for climate finance at least until 2025, as well as that of one billion euros per year for biodiversity. Promoting the adoption, notably within the framework of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC), of a new methodology for measuring the amounts allocated by France to international solidarity, based on 'Total Official Support for Sustainable Development' or TOSSD, an international standard that measures all resources, public and private, intended to support sustainable development and investments linked to the SDGs in developing countries. Strengthening the political support and evaluation of France’s international cooperation policy, through an annual meeting of Foreign Affairs and Economic Affairs ministers, as well as quarterly meetings between the State Secretariat for Development and the Ministry of the Economy, and the launch of the evaluation commission’s work by the end of 2023. The adoption of accountability indicators for each identified priority policy objective and the identification of steering methods to achieve them. While indicators are necessary to measure the real impact of France’s international cooperation policy, those adopted at this CICID are nevertheless imprecise and few in number (1 to 3 indicators per major objective). Consolidating the role of the private sector in international solidarity, through the AFD Group and Proparco in particular. A target of €1 of private finance mobilized for €1 of Proparco activity has been set for the end of 2025. The promotion of risk sharing with the private sector has also been assumed, a novelty compared to the orientations of the 2018 CICID.Emphasis is also placed on aid 'effectiveness', coherence and maximization of impact, visibility of France’s action and alignment of its ODA allocation with France’s economic and political interests.Former priorities adopted in 2018 that no longer appear in the 2023 CICID conclusions :Any reference to the distribution of France’s financial effort in favor of bilateral or multilateral aid. However, a multi-year strategy should be drawn up by the end of 2023 to ensure better articulation between bilateral, multilateral and European channels, and better management of aid flowing through international organizations, as well as France’s larger influence in and via these organizations. A list of priority vertical funds and international organizations will also be drawn up for this purpose. Increasing the amount of funds channeled through civil society organizations, to bring France closer to the OECD average in this area. The objective of marking 100% of AFD’s projects and programs according to the OECD gender marker, and 50% of its annual commitment volumes according to the main or significant gender objective.Generally speaking, any specific measures planned in connection with modernization efforts, new projects, political priorities: G7, G20, international summits, etc., or amounts allocated to specific instruments or projects, with the exception of climate finance.Any explicit reference to the United Nations, apart from a mention of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).It should be noted that France’s development policy, whose name had been consider

            [text] =>   April 7, 2023, World Health Day, also marks this year the 75th anniversary of the World Health Organization (WHO).In 2015, all the governments of the world committed to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, including SDG 3 'Good Health and Well-Being', which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages.Significant progress has been made in global health in recent decades : increased life expectancy, reduced incidence of certain infectious diseases, increased immunization coverage, decline in maternal and child mortality...  Explore all Our World in Data graphs and interactive maps related to global health through this link.  However, much remains to be done to achieve SDG 3 by 2030, including solving the persistent disparities between rich and low and middle income countries ; or countering the growing incidence of non-communicable diseases (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc). In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic has revealed gaps in health systems around the world, highlighting the need for greater investment in pandemic preparedness and public health in general.Progress toward achieving SDG 3 is slow, and has been slowed or even reversed by the Covid-19 pandemic : according to the Goalkeepers 2022 report, at the current rate, none of the SDG 3 targets will be met by 2030. In a new open letter, civil society organizations call on France to invest and reaffirm its ambition, leadership and credibility for global health. In 2020, the year the Covid-19 pandemic was declared, only 8% of French development aid was directed to global health projects and programs.  ODA and health financing needsIn 2021, Official Development Assistance provided by OECD DAC members to health projects amounted \$18 billion, representing 10% of total commitments. To build health system resilience, the OECD report 'Ready for the Next Crisis ? Investing in Health System Resilience' calls for a targeted annual investment of 1.4% of GDP for OECD countries compared to 2019 spending, with a priority on investing in the health workforce.In addition, financing global health is one of the best investments possible: international aid can help create better conditions for development and allow for reductions in certain expenditures. For example, eradicating polio could save between \$40 and \$50 billion in health care costs and lost productivity, according to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). Seven years before the deadline to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, what is the international community’s agenda to accelerate progress in health ? Highlights. 2023 milestones for global health United Nations High-level Meetings (September 2023) In September 2023, the UN General Assembly will convene three high-level meetings: on universal health coverage (UHC), pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, and tuberculosis eradication.   UN High-level Meeting on Universal Health Coverage (September 21) This year’s World Health Day, under the theme 'Health for All', recalls the importance of deploying universal health coverage (UHC), given that 30% of the world’s population does not have access to essential health services.Target 3.8 of SDG 3 aims to ensure that by 2030, all people have access to the health care and services they need, regardless of their geographical, economic or social situation.This meeting is an opportunity to reaffirm the commitment of States to universal health coverage, after the previous meeting held in 2019, which resulted in a political declaration on the subject. 'The State of Commitment to Universal Health Coverage (UHC)' report, published in 2021 by UHC 2030, explores whether States have met their commitments to UHC. This report will be updated this year.   UNGA High-level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response (September 20) The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the need for increased international cooperation to jointly address and respond to global health threats in a more coordinated manner. For example, according to the People’s Vaccine Alliance, unequal access to vaccines among countries delayed the response to the pandemic and caused an estimated 1.3 million preventable deaths in the first year of vaccination: while wealthier countries were already administering booster doses to their populations, some vulnerable countries still lacked access to the first doses. In addition, many low and middle-income countries face significant challenges in financing the response to pandemics. The 2023 Financing for Sustainable Development Report : Financing Sustainable Transformations points out, for example, that in developed countries, in 2020 and 2021, pandemic recovery expenditures amounted to \$12,200 per capita. This is 30 times higher than in developing countries (\$410) and 610 times higher than in least developed countries (\$20).In December 2021, the World Health Assembly created an intergovernmental negotiating body to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or a new international instrument to strengthen prevention, preparedness and response to pandemics. A preliminary draft agreement was unveiled at the WHO Executive Board on 1 February 2023. The agreement, which is expected to be adopted in 2024, should promot

            [text] => Focus 2030 published a Special Edition to present the issues at stake at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, and the solutions it could bring. In this dossier, you’ll find facts and figures, infographics, experts’ interviews, citizen mobilization campaigns, and opinion survey results related to the Summit.Summit proceedingsThe Summit for a New Global Financing Pact was held on June 22 and 23, 2023 in Paris. It brought together some 40 heads of State and government, over 120 NGOs and NGO coalitions, more than 40 international organizations and over 70 partners from the private and philanthropic sectors. These actors came together on June 22 for a series of six official round tables and 50 thematic side events at the Palais Brongniart, the OECD and UNESCO. In addition to the official Summit program, some 30 affiliated events were also organized.At the end of the two-day meeting, several documents were published to conclude the discussions and enshrine the directions taken during the event.A summary of discussions was presented at the Summit’s closing ceremony, followed by the publication of a Paris Agenda for People and the Planet and a proposed roadmap to put the implementation of the Summit’s commitments in favor of a new global financing pact on the international agenda. A call to action for Paris aligned carbon markets and a vision statement for a common vision of multilateral development banks were also made public.Outcomes of the Summit Given the scale of the challenges to be met, expectations for the Summit were high. A number of outcomes were envisioned: collective momentum for new international taxes, effective reallocation of Special Drawing Rights, and progress on the reform of multilateral development banks in particular.As the Summit was not part of an institutional multilateral framework like the United Nations, and as only two G7 countries were represented at the highest level (France and Germany), it was not expected that the meeting would result in a complete reform of the international financial architecture; it aimed to initiate or accelerate initiatives to mobilize additional funds for the fight against poverty and climate change.Nevertheless, the Summit brought to the front of the stage many heads of State and government from the global South, who were able to openly point the finger at the lack of commitments from the international community, and particularly the countries of the North, to solve the crises facing their countries.UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called on stakeholders to create a 'new Bretton Woods moment', notably through the reallocation of more Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), the creation of a mechanism for issuing new SDRs in the event of a climate crisis, the implementation of innovative financing mechanisms and an end to fossil fuel subsidies. The President of Kenya, William Ruto, called in particular for an in-depth reform of the international financial institutions to improve the repartition of decision-making power in these bodies and, ultimately, the distribution of resources. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has reiterated his commitment to 'zero deforestation' of the Amazon by 2030, and has made several references to the climate debt owed by the countries of the North to the countries of the South. Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia, urged the attendees to create a new Marshall Plan to finance climate action, notably through a new allocation of Special Drawing Rights to a new fund dedicated to tackling the climate crisis. Melinda French Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, also called for a reform of the international financial architecture to rethink policies in favor of climate and the planet, digital technologies, and women’s empowerment. A number of concrete advances were also announced during the two-day Summit:G20 countries’ 2021 commitment to redistribute the equivalent of \$100 billion in Special Drawing Rights is reportedly on track, as International Monetary Fund Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva announced during a roundtable discussion. However, dedicated mechanisms at the IMF currently allow only 40% of the promised amount to be redistributed to low- and middle-income countries. The IMF announced an increase in the capacity of the Resilience and Sustainability Trust to \$60 billion, which would raise the total amount that could be reallocated through the IMF to 80% of the total pledge. New mechanisms will therefore have to be put in place, notably within multilateral development banks, and the summit did not allow concrete advances. In addition, the \$100 billion total includes a pledge of \$21 billion from the United States, which has yet to be approved by the US Congress. According to a study by economists Amar Bhattacharya and Nicholas Stern presented at the Summit, the \$100 billion annual pledge for climate action should be reached in 2023, three years after the deadline. However, this announcement will have to be corroborated by data collected by the OECD.  While no concrete progress has been made on the reform of multilateral development banks (MDBs), the Paris Agenda for People and the Planet, published at the end of the Summit, calls for an increase in MDBs lending capacity of \$200 billion over the next ten years, including the 50 billion increase in World Bank lending announced at the Spring Meetings in April 2023. Although welcomed, this increase remains modest in relation to MDBs’ potential lending capacity. The new President of the World Bank Group, Ajay Banga, announced a series of new measures designed to support countries in their response to crises. Among them, clauses suspending debt repayment in the event of natural disasters will gradually be included in World Bank loan contracts. A coalition of countries supporting this measure has also emerged, some of which have pledged to implement these clauses by COP28. These commitments do not, however, include the suspension of debt service in the event of a pandemic or oth

In this dossier, you’ll find facts and figures, infographics, expert interviews, citizen mobilization campaigns and survey results relating to the Summit.  POWER OUR PLANET » CAMPAIGNInspired by the 'Bridgetown Initiative' developed by Mia Mottley, the Prime Minister of Barbados, 'Power Our Planet' calls for a radical transformation of the functioning of global financial systems. .This campaign encourages governments, development banks, philanthropists, and big corporations to provide vulnerable and developing countries access to the financing they need to accelerate their ecological transition, build resilience to natural disasters, and invest more rapidly in essential programs to fight poverty, but also for public health, food security, and education.The Global Citizen campaign is co-chaired by the Prime Minister of Barbados and supported by political leaders from both the South and the North, as well as organizations such as the Center for Environmental Peacebuilding, Germanwatch, Malala Fund, ONE, Oxfam and ReWild.Launched on April 27 at the Global Citizen NOW event in New York, the campaign will continue throughout the year and will focus on major international events scheduled for 2023 : the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact to be held in Paris on June 22 and 23, the G20 summit in New Delhi in September, the annual fall meetings of the World Bank and the IMF in October, and the COP28 to be held in Dubai from November 30 to December 12, 2023.As part of this campaign, Global Citizen organizes 'Power Our Planet : Live in Paris - a public event on the Champ de Mars - alongside the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact.It will bring together activists, world leaders and artists - such as Billie Eilish, Lenny Kravitz, Ben Harper and others - to call on world political leaders at the Summit to make ambitious commitments to finance the fight against climate change and extreme poverty in the most vulnerable countries. Click here to win tickets to the event.  GLOBAL CITIZEN’S REQUESTSThe campaign has three main objectives : Goal 1 : Ensure that industrialized countries meet their commitmentsBy implementing the \$100 billion per year in climate finance pledged to vulnerable countries in 2009 at COP15, scheduled to be achieved by 2020By reallocating \$100 billion in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to vulnerable countries. The majority of the SDRs emitted in 2021 to support countries in their response to the Covid-19 pandemic and to invest in green energy, have so far been allocated mostly to the richest countries.By meeting the target of allocating 0.7% of the gross national income of the wealthiest countries to official development assistance, particularly in the areas of education, health and food security.Goal 2 : Reform development banks to unlock additional fundsBy unlocking new funds through the reform of international financial institutions, such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The development banks have an estimated \$1 trillion in assets, but the way they currently operate hinders the mobilization of these resources.By providing more loans to countries that need financing, by reforming their procedures to better respond to the climate crisis and, in the current context of the debt crisis that is severely hitting low-income countries, by finding urgent solutions to prevent further debt distress.Goal 3 : Make the biggest polluters contribute to the fight against climate changeBy involving the most polluting companies win the fight against climate change, especially since 20 companies are responsible for a third of the world’s carbon emissions and yet continue to expand their activities despite their harmful consequences for the climate and populations. The campaign calls on these companies to go zero carbon and create new sources of revenue to fund climate solutions. In addition, it encourages governments to implement a global solidarity tax on the largest CO2 emitters. ACTIONS TO SUPPORT THE GLOBAL CITIZEN CAMPAIGNSign the petition calling for urgent global financial reform.Call on the French government, co-host of the Paris Summit, to act and invite President Emmanuel Macron to put forward ambitious measures for the reform of the international financial architecture on June 22 and 23.Email or tweet to invite heads of states in high-income countries to take action to build a more sustainable, just and equal world. Calling on U.S. Congress representatives on Twitter to approve the 2024 budget, which proposes an ambitious 11 percent increase in U.S. development assistance, reaching a total of \$70.5 billion. Download the application and share the campaign with your friends and family to encourage them to take action and post your commitment on social networks. Check out Emmanuel Macron’s intervention at the Global Citizen NOW event on April 28, 2023 in New York :

What do you see its role will be in the new global financing pact that will be discussed in Paris?  Pilar Garrido: Calls for an overhaul of the global financing architecture inherited from Bretton Woods have multiplied recently: that’s why we are all meeting in Paris this week. The DAC is one of the pillars of that architecture, providing official development assistance (ODA) that has been considered as the “gold standard” of foreign aid since 1969. DAC members provide around 80% of the voluntary contributions to the UN development system; 89% of the latest International Development Agency (IDA) replenishment; and more than 60% of the external finance received by low-income countries (LICs). Thus, the DAC’s role and that of ODA remain prominent in the global financing architecture.While a number of new aid providers have appeared in recent decades, the level of their official assistance is difficult to measure and compare, due to differences in definitions and reporting standards. Nevertheless, like the IMF and World Bank, the DAC needs to evolve to remain fit-for-purpose in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) era. The OECD, which hosts the DAC, and members of the Committee are taking part in the New Global Financing Pact summit to discuss improvements and the way forward. Later in the year, at its High-Level Meeting, the DAC will discuss a new programme of work around a renewed ambition. The Committee intends to actively engage in the forthcoming discussions on the revision of the Addis Ababa Action Agenda.Focus 2030: Official development assistance (ODA) has reached a record level in 2022. But most of the increase is driven by the emergency response to crises (COVID-19 and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine). How to ensure ODA responds to both short and long term development objectives? Pilar Garrido: ODA levels have indeed reached a record level in 2022, breaking the bar of USD 200 billion. Responses to crises have largely driven this growth: in 2021, COVID-19 related activities represented 12% of ODA, and in 2022, in-donor refugee costs and aid to Ukraine represented 14.4% and 7.9% of ODA respectively. This is a good sign: it means that DAC members are agile and ODA is flexible enough to respond to urgent situations, including by front-loading some already planned disbursements. Beyond disbursements, however, one should look at new commitments to anticipate future trends. Going forward, the challenge will be to lock-in the level of ODA reached and, as crises phase out, reallocate the funds to long-term sustainable development objectives.The COVID-19 crisis has reaffirmed the need to invest in preparedness to shocks, including health, climate or forced displacement of populations. In other terms, the need to invest in global public goods. The DAC has already started to shift its portfolio: 60% of ODA is now going to producing global public goods or fighting global public bads, up from 37% a decade before. Thus, the DAC seems to manage to combine both short-term and long-term agendas.  But it should be clear that ODA cannot do it all, and probably shouldn’t do it all! We are looking forward to having these conversations at the summit: how can ODA be best spent on both crises and longer term development? To answer this question, we must take into account country priorities, their contexts and levels of development, as well as their capacities to mobilise other sources of financing, domestic and foreign, public and private.Focus 2030: This raises the question of addressing vulnerabilities, in particular climate vulnerability. Do you think the DAC is sufficiently taking into consideration vulnerability in the allocation of ODA? Pilar Garrido: Vulnerability is at the heart of agenda of financing sustainable development. When Small Island Developing States (SIDS) reignited the debate on vulnerability, with a new focus on exposure to climate shocks, the international community reacted very positively. Then, a number of countries started to point at their own vulnerabilities, and it felt like a Pandora’s box had been opened. The DAC is criticized for using GNI per capita as a criterion for ODA eligibility. While it recognises its imperfections, GNI remains the “least worst” of all available measures, given limited access to data in the poorest countries, and methodological challenges in the compilation of so-called multi-dimensional vulnerability indexes (MVIs). The DAC has adopted a pragmatic approach: recently, it has introduced the possibility of reinstatement on the ODA eligibility list for recent graduates affected by adverse shocks. It also agreed to the possibility of a moratorium on graduation for some countries during the COVID-19 crisis, due to uncertainty on data. Beyond the question of graduation, MVIs could definitely help improve the allocation of ODA. Many DAC members are revisiting their country priorities and engagement strategies.The Paris Summit echoes the need to address vulnerability in its many dimensions. Many middle income countries are on the brink of debt distress, and development is not a linear process. As our transition finance work shows, moving income categories might be a hurdle in itself, even from low to middle income: many donors disengage and countries face difficulties in managing debt sustainability once they gain access to private capital markets.There is no one-size-fits-all in development cooperation, and vulnerability should be used as a warning signal that even greater attention required from a country’s partners. Graduations from income categories should be celebrated, not mourned. To get there, the most vulnerable need specific care throughout their development process. The opinions expressed in this interview are those of Pilar Garrido and do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus 2030.

Many leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions for financing global development and the climate transition. In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 aims to gather and highlight the point of view of organizations that are expert in their respective fields and is conducting a series of interviews with representatives of governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, and others. Discover our Special Edition about the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit.Interview with Peter Sands, Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and MalariaWritten interview received on June 15, 2023.Focus 2030: Many developing countries are facing a debt crisis, with loan repayment levels reaching record highs due to the combined effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the aftermaths of the war in Ukraine, and climate change. This reduces their fiscal space and affects their ability to finance public policies to meet the basic needs of their populations. The Global Fund operates in more than 100 countries: to what extent are you observing constrained investments in public health? Peter Sands: After the initial strong response to the COVID-19 pandemic, government health spending contracted in 2022, down to its pre-pandemic trajectory. Many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have seen their fiscal spaces shrinking, resulting in fewer resources to dedicate to their health systems. The World Bank projects that government spending capacity in 18 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) will lag below pre-COVID-19 levels through to 2027. This dire situation is mostly due to a challenging geo-political context: monetary tightening in advanced economies and — following the Russian invasion of Ukraine — increased sovereign spreads have increased the costs of borrowing across developing countries. New funding from international capital markets and from China has declined steeply. In addition, the war in Ukraine has contributed to a sharp increase in prices of key food and fuel commodities. For low-income countries, which are net importers of these commodities, the cost of living on average increased faster than gross domestic product (GDP) in 2022, leaving the population poorer. These trends are concerning and threaten our progress toward ending AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.In these challenging times, a strong partnership between the most impacted countries and the Global Fund is more important than ever. We have identified several ways to help these countries recover their capacity to increase domestic health financing. First, we need speedy deployment of Special Drawing Rights through the IMF’s Resilience and Sustainability Trust to support LMICs to simultaneously reduce their debt burden and release funds for climate change mitigation and adaptation, including for health. We also call for a framework to enable radical streamlining of blended finance transactions between multilateral development banks and grant-making institutions like the Global Fund. Lastly, we need to create more fiscal space by improving tax system design and implementation, including through the provision of technical assistance, greater transparency, and reinforcement of mechanisms to address multinational corporate and high-net-worth individuals’ tax evasion or avoidance.Focus 2030: Some Global Fund donor countries are raising financial resources through innovative financing mechanisms, such as Debt2Health, financial transaction levies, airline ticket taxes, etc. To what extent do these innovative forms of financing help support the Global Fund and ensure sustainable and predictable resources for an organization like yours? Peter Sands: Financial innovation is absolutely critical to attract new sources of finance and increase the efficiency of current resources to fulfill our mission of ending AIDS, TB and malaria. One key priority is to catalyze domestic resource mobilization through co-financing requirements: Global Fund grants typically include an obligation on the recipient government to commit additional domestic resources equivalent to 15% to 30% of the allocated grant. This mechanism has proved remarkably successful in incentivizing increased domestic investment in health.Another mechanism is our debt swap mechanism. To date, 10 countries have benefited from it, generating more than US\$232 million for national health programs. In return, Australia, Germany and Spain have canceled debt owed by those countries. We also devise and support blended finance solutions whenever possible. As an example, the Regional Malaria Elimination Initiative was created in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Clinton Health Access Initiative and Pan American Health Organization to secure a mix of grants and concessional credit funding for collaborative programs to eliminate malaria across Central America and the Dominican Republic. The Global Fund has also worked with the Lives and Livelihoods Fund, which, through a collaboration between the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Islamic Development Bank, offers countries an opportunity to access concessionary funding for health and priority areas.Along governments and global organizations, the private sector also plays a crucial role in pushing forward innovative forms of financing. We’re facilitating consumer-based fundraising initiatives such as (RED), which works with the world’s most iconic brands and organizations to develop (RED)-branded products and experiences that, when purchased, trigger corporate giving to the Global Fund. These contributions are then invested in HIV programs across the globe. Within just 10 years of launching, (RED) generated more private sector funds than any other business initiative among Global Fund contributors. In Asia, the Global Fund has joined forces with the Asia Pacific Leaders Malaria Alliance and private sector partners to support M2030, a consumer-marketing initiative that will raise money from Asian consumers to support malaria elimination efforts in the region.The solidarity levy on airline tickets and other financial transaction taxes implemented by France are benefiting the Global Fund and its partner Unitaid, allowing both organizations to initiate, pilot and scale up innovations in the fight against HIV, TB and malaria, such as the HIV self-test or new generations of mosquito nets to fight malaria. Those innovative financing mechanisms, launched by France, have inspired other countries to undertake similar initiatives to support global health.Focus 2030: The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, that will take place in Paris on June 22-23, aims to identify sources of financing to address both global climate challenges and the critical needs of people in developing countries, including health needs. From the Global Fund’s perspective, how important is it to combine a reform of the international financial architecture with a response to climate change? Peter Sands: Climate change exacerbates existing health challenges and introduces new ones.

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => In partnership with University College London (UCL) and the University of Birmingham, Focus 2030 is conducting an action-research program to analyze citizens’ opinions, attitudes, knowledge and feelings on issues related to international solidarity. This program covers four countries: France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.This project called the 'Development Engagement Lab' (DEL) provides data to development actors (NGOs, foundations, think tanks, ministries, public institutions, international organizations) to help them better understand citizens’ expectations and increase the effectiveness of their communication, mobilization and advocacy activities. The results presented below are based on a survey conducted by the YouGov institute between May 19 and 25, 2023 among a sample of 2,000 people representative of the adult population in France. Margin of error: ±2%.Focus 2030 published a Special Edition to present the issues at stake at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, and the solutions it could bring. In this dossier, you’ll find facts and figures, infographics, experts’ interviews, citizen mobilization campaigns, and opinion survey results related to the Summit.The scale of today’s global challenges, including the fight against extreme poverty and climate change, requires to rethink the financing of international solidarity. While questioning current models for financing these efforts, as well as the possibility of innovative financing on a global scale, today’s challenge is to imagine new political and economic relationships between the richest countries, on the one hand, and countries facing these challenges with too few resources, on the other.Ahead of the Summit for a new global financing pact (June 22-23, 2023 in Paris), we asked the French about a number of initiatives that could help meet these challenges. This is more a collection of opinions and points of view than a true measurement of knowledge about international issues, which are certainly identified by public opinion (poverty, climate change, the economic situation of poor countries), but whose solutions involve technical and political aspects that are relatively unknown. On the one hand, we questioned the French on the timeliness and impact of such a summit, which they had probably heard little or nothing about. Secondly, we asked them about the principle of certain development financing mechanisms.In this series of questions, we observe that a higher level of education is invariably associated with stronger support for the initiatives questioned. 64% of French people surveyed believe that the summit is necessaryWhen asked about the need to organize an international summit in Paris to (attempt to) resolve the economic difficulties currently facing the poorest countries (notably as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequences of the war in Ukraine), a majority of French people support the principle of such an international meeting. Only a quarter of those questioned thought it unnecessary.  84% of French respondents believe that the financial difficulties of poor countries will have an impact on the French and global economies over the next three yearsWhen asked about the medium-term impact of the economic difficulties currently facing the world’s poorest countries, the French show that they understand the reality of a globalized economy. In other words, 84% recognize that what affects one country affects the whole world. This perception is slightly more pronounced among 25 to 34 year-olds (88%), a difference of +9 percentage points compared to their elders aged 45 to 54. In the same proportions, 83% believe that the French economy will be affected by the difficulties experienced by the poorest countries over the next three years.It’s hardly surprising, then, that the French support the organization of this international summit, since they perceive that the economic situation of France on the one hand, and of the whole world on the other, is at stake, due to the situation the poorest countries are facing.In addition, 71% of French respondents (down 13 points) feel that their personal situation is also likely to be affected by the situation in poor countries. This perception is slightly more pronounced among men (73%) than among women (67%).  The French are rather divided as to the responsibility of the French government in organizing this type of international summitIrrespective of their views on the relevance of such an international summit to resolving the economic difficulties currently facing poor countries, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the French were asked about France’s role or responsibility in organizing this international event.36% recognize that organizing such a meeting is (also) France’s responsibility, while 34% feel the opposite. 21% are undecided on this question, which is a matter of international politics. In more detail, we note that slightly more 18-44 year-olds (40%) than their elders (33%) feel that it is France’s role to organize this summit.  The French are skeptical about the summit’s ability to (truly) change thingsWhen asked whether this international summit is the right way to resolve the major economic difficulties currently facing poor countries, the responses of the French people show that they are particularly dubious.Only a quarter (27%) believe that this summit will provide an opportunity to resolve the major economic difficulties facing the poorest countries today. Even more glaringly, 46% believe that it will not change things, while 21% are undecided.On this question, women are slightly less pessimistic than men: 42% of them believe it will not solve anything, compared to 50% of men. Youth is also associated with a more positive view of the summit’s effectiveness. For example, 35% of 18-44 year-olds believe the summit will make a difference, compared to 26% of people over the age of 45.  61% of French people support the principle of a global tax to combat world poverty and climate changeWhen asked about the idea of introducing a global tax, the majority of French respondents supported the principle of such an initiative. Only 12% were against such a tax. If we combine support for this innovative form of financing with the percentage of those who don’t have any very precise ideas on the subject (21%), but who are not opposed, we can see that 83% of those questioned would be likely to support, or not oppose, this global tax, which would echo the globalization of the economy that the French seem to perceive in this series of questions.  The French support above all the taxation of companies whose profits are based on poor compliance with environmental standards, and of billionairesConsidering the impact t

            [text] => On June 22 and 23, 2023, a Summit for a New Global Financing Pact will be held in Paris, organized by France. Many leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions for financing global development and the climate transition. In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 aims to gather and highlight the point of view of organizations that are expert in their respective fields and is conducting a series of interviews with representatives of governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, and others. Discover our Special Edition about the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit.Interview with Liza Henshaw and Friederike Röder, President and Vice President of Global CitizenWritten interview received on June 14, 2023.Focus 2030 : Global Citizen recently launched the campaign 'Power Our Planet: Act Today. Save Tomorrow.', a global initiative co-chaired by Prime Minister Mia Mottley of Barbados, aimed at mobilizing essential funding for developing countries to fight climate change and extreme poverty. Can you tell us more about this campaign? How can citizens get involved? What can you say about the event you will hold in Paris during the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact? Liza Henshaw and Friederike Röder : We announced in April the launch of the Power Our Planet campaign, to give poor and vulnerable countries a better financial foundation and access to financing solutions so they can more rapidly shift to clean energy and withstand natural disasters. This campaign encompasses the G7 in May, the New Financing Pact Summit in Paris in June, the G20 and UN General Assembly in September, and COP28 in November. The Power Our Planet will run alongside and be part of our End Extreme Poverty NOW campaign, which will take center stage in New York at Global Citizen Festival. During the all year, together with Global Citizens and global artists, we will call on world leaders, multilateral development banks, philanthropists, and private sector leaders to make ambitious commitments to unlock critical funding, invest in the green transition to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees and increase support for the poorest countries to address health inequity, education and fight poverty. We will call on the shareholders of the World Bank and other wealthy countries to make ambitious reforms to leverage more funding and make climate change a priority alongside poverty eradication.To support this campaign, push for change and demand action from world leaders and financial institutions, you can add your voices and get involved by joining the movement at globalcitizen.org, download the Global Citizen app, and follow Global Citizen on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and Twitter.As part of this campaign, Global Citizen will hold an event in Paris during the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact on June 22 on the Champs de Mars, in front of the Eiffel Tower.  ‘Power Our Planet: Live in Paris’ is a free, ticketed event, featuring performances from Lenny Kravitz, Billie Eilish, H.E.R., Jon Batiste, with special guests FINNEAS and Mosimann. We are calling for strong commitments from incoming World Bank President Ajay Banga, the US secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen and other leaders and ministers of G20 Nations at the Summit for a New Financing Pact, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, in Paris on June 22 and 23. We hope this event will encourage decision-makers and will lead to real progress. Because we need pledges to be fulfilled and actions to be taken now. Not tomorrow.Focus 2030 : Among the solutions put forward to fund the fight against climate change and extreme poverty, discussions have revolved around the rechanneling to developing countries of IMF’s 2021 allocation of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs). Would you say the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact can deliver on this issue? Liza Henshaw and Friederike Röder : We think it can, yes - but we’re not sure it will.While the IMF did issue \$650B of these SDRs in 2021 amid global economic concerns due the Covid-19 pandemic, the world’s 44 poorest countries just got 7% of them. That’s why in 2021, the G7 and G20 endorsed a global aim to relocate at least \ 100B in SDRs to poorer countries. Yet the pledge remains unfilled.So the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact must deliver on this issue. By the end of the year, wealthy countries should reach the \$100B reallocation target - without counting on the US contribution. The White House has agreed to recycle \$21B in SDRs, but the Congress is blocking this. Indeed, the US shouldn’t be an excuse for the rest of the wealthy countries, in particular those members of the G20 and the EU, to make good on their promise.Focus 2030 : If the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact were to deliver one outcome, which one would you pick? What will be the next steps? Liza Henshaw and Friederike Röder : We need the World Bank reform, we need SDRs reallocation, we need a deal on debt, but in the end we also need additional grant funding, not just loans and mechanisms to leverage capital markets. So if we could choose one outcome from this Summit it will be to find additional funding by implementing an international tax. The Paris ‘New Global Financing Pact’ summit in June has to be a crucial moment to lay the foundations for a set of international solidarity taxes. These taxes would fund the fight against extreme poverty and global public goods on one hand and partially compensate for the inequalities that globalization structurally generates on the other. In total, the summit should be a historic opportunity for a group of vanguard countries to commit to explore the introduction of one or several taxes and raise a total of \$100B a year of additional funding from taxes. We know that three taxes in particular have been discussed: the maritime transport tax, the fossil fuel tax and the Financial Transaction Tax (FTT).These taxes could raise much needed grants, to help the poorest, most indebted countries, and resolve finance issues that don’t yield returns and cannot be funded by private capital (i.e. part of loss and damage or adaptation, but also the strengthening of health systems and preparation for future pandemic shocks).Just to give you one example, Gunther Capelle-Blancard, in the study The taxation of financial transactions: an estimate of global tax revenues, shows that a tax on financial transactions similar to the French FTT or the British stamp duty extended at a global level could raise billions of euros. Extended to G20 countries, an equivalent tax would raise, despite its many exemptions, up to €26

            [descriptif] => Mwanahamisi Singano, WEDO Senior Global Policy Lead, shares her expectations for gender mainstreaming in the fight against climate change and in global negotiations such as the Summit for a New Global Financing pact
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => On June 22 and 23, 2023, a Summit for a New Global Financing Pact will be held in Paris, organized by France. Many leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions for financing global development and the climate transition. In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 aims to gather and highlight the point of view of organizations that are expert in their respective fields and is conducting a series of interviews with representatives of governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, and others. Discover our Special Edition about the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit. Interview with Mwanahamisi Singano, WEDO Senior Global Policy LeadWritten interview received on June 6, 2023.Focus 2030 : The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact aims to find financial solutions to the challenges of poverty and climate change, with a particular focus on vulnerable countries. WEDO has been working for more than 20 years on the links between climate justice and gender equality ; could you explain to what extent women face greater difficulties than men regarding climate change and poverty, especially on the African continent ? Mwanahamisi Singano : On the surface, looking at gender and climate change is about how women, men, and gender-diverse people experience climate and environmental impacts differently. But applying a gender lens to the climate crisis also allows us to consider power more broadly – and see the patterns and structures in the world that keep systemic inequities in place. As a result of structural discrimination and social norms, women, girls, and gender diverse people are disproportionately affected by climate change.We know, for example, that extreme heat and environmental pollutants have devastating health impacts on pregnant people and reproductive health. We know that, due to social norms that deem women caretakers, women are more likely to die in climate disasters and disproportionately take on caretaking duties after such events.Last year, as part of the African Feminist Taskforce under the Women & Gender Constituency, we came up with 27 collective demands from African women and girls that speak to the realities we face on the African continent. These include women’s access to and control over land and respect for community agroecology ; renewable clean energy projects that reduce the burden of unpaid care work ; and enhancing the safety and security of women environmental defenders in conflict areas – among others.Focus 2030 : WEDO contributed to the inclusion of language on women’s specific experience of climate change in the Paris agreement at the COP21 in 2015. What do you think are the best ways of ensuring that women’s voices are heard on the environmental, climate and development agendas, and how can we make sure this is the case during the Summit ? Mwanahamisi Singano : First, we must acknowledge that women have a human right to fully, equally and meaningfully participate in the development and implementation of policies related to climate change and the environment. In the UNFCCC COPs, for example – where WEDO has historically tracked women’s participation and has the most data – we know that women are not participating fully, meaningfully and equally in the climate change negotiations. We also know that progress has been unevenly slow, and at times included setbacks.In order to combat this inequality, we need more commitment and intentionality from governments and other stakeholders to achieve delegations with gender parity. We also need to guarantee that women have the same place of power in any climate negotiations–including in spaces (like COPs), where decisions hold the most weight. Equitable representation also goes beyond gender, to include ethnicity, race, class, ability, education, age, and geography, among others. These recommendations can be applied to all global policy spaces – including the Summit. Focus 2030 : In your view, what actions should be taken to mobilize new financing for climate justice and gender equality on a global scale ? To what extent do you think the Bridgetown Initiative can contribute to progress on these issues ? How can this aspect of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact contribute to the upcoming COP28 ? Mwanahamisi Singano : Our advocacy in the UNFCCC and beyond is grounded in an understanding of climate finance as an obligation of the Global North to pay its historical climate debt to the world. It should not be regarded as a matter of solidarity, but of obligations, including legal ones, and reparations. With this core understanding, climate finance should also be grant-based, gender-transformative, human-rights-centered, have public funding at its core, and be directly accessible, including by enhancing direct access for affected communities. Most importantly, climate finance pledges must go hand in hand with structural change, aligning finance flows with a climate just world and dismantling the unjust global economic order.Bridgetown outlines broadscale proposals for systemic reform, with significant implications for both the climate and development landscapes. As a Global South, small island state led agenda that speaks the language of the IFIs, the initiative has opened space for debate about our global economic and financial governance in the context of the climate emergency—and an acknowledgement that major systemic changes are required for countries to escape their debt, development, and climate crises. At the same time, our feminist analysis of Bridgetown raises serious concerns. Bridgetown’s conflation of development and climate risks undermining the requirement of climate finance to be “new and additional” to existing aid, and muddies the rationale for climate finance as rooted in the historical and ongoing obligations of industrialized countries. It risks over relying on private finance, and thus displacing the responsibility for global public goods onto the private sector (rather than on governments, for example via taxation). And perhaps most concerningly, Bridgetown operates completely outside the frameworks of multilateral agreements and structures such as the UNFCCC and the 2030 Agenda.As feminists, we see both the Summit and COP28 as spaces for discussion around the systemic changes required in global economic, financial, and climate governance, in a way that addresses the root causes of the debt crisis and underfunding of public services and social protection.  The opinions expressed in this interview are those of Mwanahamisi Singano and do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus 2030.

            [text] => On June 22-23, 2023, France is set to host an international Summit for a New Global Financing Pact. Called for by French President Emmanuel Macron, how does this summit fit into an international context marked by the cascading consequences of concurring climate, energy, health and economic crises, particularly in the most vulnerable countries? What can the international community and international solidarity actors expect from it? Latest intel and analyses.   France will host in Paris, on June 22 and 23, 2023, the Summit for a new global financing pact, whose stated goal is to build a new contract between the countries of the North and the South to address climate change and the global crisis. This event will be an opportunity to address key issues: reform of multilateral development banks, debt crisis, innovative financing and international taxes, special drawing rights (SDRs)... Analysis. Context and stakes behind the Summit for a New Global Financing PactIn November 2022, on the occasion of the G20 Summit and at the end of a COP27 with mixed results, Emmanuel Macron announced the organization of an international conference in Paris in June 2023, aimed at taking stock “on all the means and ways of increasing financial solidarity with the South”.This announcement took place in a particular international context: while the climate crisis threatens in particular the countries of the Global South (and including island states), the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, has been leading since COP26 an initiative for financing climate action. This 'Bridgetown Initiative' aims to facilitate access to international financing for the countries most vulnerable to climate change to enable them to better respond to climate challenges.While President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement is in line with the Bridgetown initiative, the June 2023 summit aims to propose solutions to finance issues that go beyond the climate question, including access to health and the fight against poverty. The Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and their successive consequences have indeed reduced the fiscal and budgetary space of many countries, affecting their ability to finance their populations’ access to basic social services. As a result, the UNDP noted a decline in human development in nine out of ten countries around the world in 2022, mainly due to a drop in life expectancy and an increase in poverty.In a statement on January 6, 2023, Catherine Colonna, the French minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs, declared the summit would aim to “build a new contract with the North and the South”, in order to facilitate the access of vulnerable countries to the financing they need to address the consequences of ongoing and future crises.The same day, the Secretary of State for Development, Francophonie and International Partnerships, Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, and the Permanent Representative of France to the OECD, Amélie de Montchalin, took part in a webinar organized by the Finance for Development Lab on the issues at stake at the upcoming Summit. On this occasion, four main objectives were announced, which will be followed up on by four working groups :Restore fiscal space to countries facing short-term difficulties, especially the most indebted countriesFostering private sector development in low-income countriesEncourage investment in 'green' infrastructure for the energy transition in emerging and developing countriesMobilize innovative financing for countries vulnerable to climate change.In addition, a group of high-level experts, the One Planet Lab, will be responsible for formulating proposals to mobilize innovative sources of financing.The Summit’s ambition is to bring together several agendas (climate, development, debt) and to propose innovative solutions to address these issues. It is part of a series of other international events that will take place during the year (G20, SDG Summit, COP28, etc.) and aims to push for concrete results on these occasions. In order to ensure its success, the organizers have expressed their interest in benefiting from the contributions of civil society and private sector actors.The Summit is scheduled to take place on 22-23 June 2023 in Paris, as announced in a joint statement by the Franco-German Council of Ministers on January 22. The first day of the Summit will be punctuated by an opening ceremony, followed by 6 round tables, 30 branded events and over 50 parallel events. A closing ceremony will take place on the morning of June 23 to announce the conclusions of the Summit discussions.Numerous leaders have already been confirmed, including Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, Olaf Scholz, Chancellor of Germany, Filipe Nyusi, President of Mozambique, Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva, President of Brazil, and many others. Numerous representatives of international organizations, philanthropists and activists will also be present: Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank, Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, Ursula Von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, Vanessa Nakate, activist and UN Goodwill Ambassador, Melinda French Gates, philanthropist and co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and more.The preparation of the summit is carried out by a high-level international steering committee composed of states and international organizations. It includes France, Barbados, South Africa, Germany, Brazil, China, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, India, Japan, the United Kingdom, Senegal, the European Commission, the United Nations Secretariat, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the OECD. Civil society campaignsIn its campaign 'It’s time to make big polluters pay', CARE France calls on governments to tax the super profits of fossil fuel companies. A campaign available in English and French.ONE’s #FundtheFuture campaign calls for reform of the multilateral development banks to free up billions of dollars for development. As part of the campaign, ONE has developed an online tool to understand the parameters of how World Bank reform could result in billions of dollars in additional lending. In addition, 120 public figures signed an open letter to the new World Bank chief outlining 10 demands for his first 100 days in office.

            [text] => Focus 2030 has produced a Special Edition to present the issues at stake at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, and the solutions it could bring. In this dossier, you’ll find facts and figures, infographics, expert interviews, citizen mobilization campaigns and survey results relating to the Summit.The world is more fractured than ever. Climate change, exploding inequality, rising poverty and the over-indebtedness of the world’s most fragile countries are undermining an increasingly divided international community.In light of this, France is organizing a Summit for a New Global Financing Pact on June 22 and 23, which aims to initiate an overhaul of the global financial architecture and mobilize massive financing to fight climate change and support human development. According to Oxfam, 27 trillion dollars are required by 2030 to meet the needs of low and middle income countries. In comparison, official development assistance, which reached a record level in 2022, has only managed to mobilize 204 billion dollars in 2022, or 5% of the annual needs identified by Oxfam. CONTENTS1. Allocate 0.7% of industrialized countries’ GNI to official development assistance2. Reaching \$100 billion for the climate3. Reallocate \$100 billion in special drawing rights4. Restructuring multilateral development banks5. Mobilize innovative financing6. Mitigating debt7. Encouraging private sector contributions Goal #1: Deliver on historical commitmentsFinancial commitments have already been made by industrialized countries, some of which are long-standing: one of the challenges of the summit will be to reaffirm them. 1. Allocate 0.7% of industrialized countries’ GNI to official development assistanceOfficial Development Assistance (ODA) is financial assistance provided by member countries of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) to improve the economic development and living standards of developing countries - and to finance global public goods such as global health. Since 1970, DAC countries have made a commitment under the United Nations to allocated 0.7% of their gross national income (GNI) to ODA.However, this commitment has never been met and is still far from being fulfilled: in 2022, while ODA reached an all-time high, it represented only 0.36% of DAC members’ GNI. At a time of unprecedented need, some countries have even recently reduced their contributions to international solidarity.The fact that this promise has not been kept for the past fifty years means a considerable shortfall estimated at 7091 billion (in constant 2021 dollars). In just 5 years (from 2018 to 2022), an ODA rate of 0.7% would have enabled us to mobilize an additional \$1,000 billion for the development of the most fragile countries. To mobilize more financing for developing countries, it seems crucial that the commitments made by DAC countries be respected, and that aid be targeted to the countries that need it most. The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact should be an opportunity for industrialized countries to renew this commitment and put development back at the heart of international discussions.Nevertheless, while ODA is the preferred mechanism for financing international development, particularly in support of essential services (health, education, nutrition, gender equality), all observers recognize that the amounts mobilized through this channel are not sufficient to address current emergencies, particularly the financing of the climate transition.To learn more, discover ONE’s analysis of ODA 2. Reaching \$100 billion for the climate The 100 billion dollars climate pledge was made at the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen. There, developed countries pledged to mobilize 100 billion dollars per year starting in 2020 to help developing countries tackle and adapt to climate change. This sum is to be used to finance measures such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the implementation of adaptation measures or the transfer of less polluting technologies.Nevertheless, more than 16 billion dollars was missing by the 2020 deadline. Based on available estimates for the following years, 100 billion dollars could be reached by 2023. In addition, while the 100 billion should support climate change adaptation and mitigation equally, the financing mobilized is primarily aimed at mitigation (48.6 billion for mitigation, 28.6 billion for adaptation and 6 billion targeting both objectives in 2020), limiting the capacity of developing countries to deal with the current consequences of climate change.Moreover, most of the financing has been distributed in the form of loans and has mainly targeted Asia and middle-income countries. The least developed countries, which have difficulties in taking out loans and which are mostly located in sub-Saharan Africa, are not the priority beneficiaries of climate financing, even though many of them are particularly vulnerable to climate change. The way in which financing is accounted for is also called into question: according to Reuters, the climate dimension of certain projects accounted for as such can be questioned.Thus, if the 100 billion for the climate is to be reached, it must also be rethought to better target the countries most vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. This is one of the stated objectives of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, which should, among other things, help to promote access to climate subsidies for countries unable to obtain loans.To find out more, read Eurodad’s analysis 3. Reallocate \$100 billion in special drawing rightsSpecial drawing rights (SDRs) are international reserve assets created by the IMF to supplement the foreign exchange reserves of its member countries. A historic allocation of SDRs, equivalent to 650 billion dollars, was made by the IMF in August 2021 to help countries cope with the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, as SDRs are allocated to IMF member countries according to their quota, defined according to their weight in the world economy, the 59 poorest countries in the world received only 4% of this allocation (around 26 billion dollars) compared to 68% for the G20 countries (442 billion).Faced with this imbalance, the G20 countries committed in 2021 to redistribute the equivalent of \$100 billion in SDRs to the most fragile economies, particularly the most indebted. Almost two years later, only \$76 billion has been officially pledge

            [text] => Focus 2030 has produced a Special Edition to present the issues at stake at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, and the solutions it could bring. In this dossier, you’ll find facts and figures, infographics, expert interviews, citizen mobilization campaigns and survey results relating to the Summit.Ahead of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact to be held in Paris on June 22 and 23, 2023, CARE France launched its public mobilization campaign 'It’s time to make big polluters pay' calling for a tax on the superprofits made by fossil fuel companies (oil, gas, coal) in order to finance the response to the climate emergency.The facts and figures that expose those responsible for climate change According to a report published prior to COP27 by The Loss and Damage Collaboration and entitled 'The Cost of Delay', the responsibility of industrialized countries and the fossil fuel industry is indisputable. 189 million : this is the average number of people affected by extreme weather events in developing countries each year since 1991. However, 1991 was the year when a mechanism was first proposed to deal with the costs of climate impacts in low-income countries, now called the 'Loss and Damage Fund'. 500 billion dollars is the amount of economic losses attributed to climate change between 2000 and 2019 in 55 developing countries. 79% of recorded deaths and 97% of the total number of people affected by the consequences of extreme weather events were in developing countries   'It’s time to make big polluters pay' campaignAlthough countries of the 'Global South' are the first victims of climate change, they are paradoxically the least responsible for it. In the face of this widely documented injustice, CARE France highlights the disproportionate responsibility of the fossil fuel industry and points out that gas, oil and coal companies are responsible for more than 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In 20 years, this industry has made enough profit to cover nearly 60 times the cost of economic losses in the 55 countries most vulnerable to climate change.  The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact : an opportunity to shift the lines ?The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, to be held in Paris on June 22 and 23, 2023, could make it possible to define innovative resources to finance the climate emergency facing certain countries from the South. A tax on super-profits could contribute to the Loss and Damage Fund, initiated at COP27, whose ambition is to fund the financial costs associated with loss and damage in developing countriess. Through this campaign, CARE France invites citizens to call on the French government to tax the fossil fuel industries to finance this fund.  How can citizens take action ?By calling on the French government via this link to urge President Emmanuel Macron, co-host of this Summit, to take ambitious action and introduce a tax on the super-profits of oil, gas and coal companies, and to encourage other political leaders of the world to follow him.By spreading the word about the campaign on social networks.

            [text] =>  Humanity is currently confronted with multiple and overlapping challenges.The worldwide rise in poverty, the first in over twenty years, the ever-increasing number of climate-related disasters, and the historic debt crisis, which are primarily affecting the most fragile countries, deserve a response from the international community commensurate with what is at stake.Tackling the dual challenges of climate change and poverty requires mobilizing the necessary financing and structurally reforming the international financial architecture. This is the stated ambition of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, to be held in Paris on June 22 and 23, 2023, a Summit that 64% of French people consider necessary to address the economic difficulties of the poorest countries.Putting the Sustainable Development Goals back on track, whose progress has been brought to a screeching halt by the current polycrisis, would require unprecedented international cooperation. However, years of unfulfilled promises on the fight against poverty and climate change by the world’s richest countries have only served to further fracture a world in tension.The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact must not evade the many burning issues, and it must be ambitious. It will certainly be one step among many to come.In order to better grasp the many issues at stake, Focus 2030 has decided to provide as comprehensive an overview as possible of the challenges and solutions surrounding the Summit.Discover our open source data, maps, interviews with key players, a summary of the solutions foreseen in the negotiations, as well as civil society’s campaigns and expectations.🔗 Read about the latest news from the Summit (updated regularly) Disclaimer: this special report is produced by Focus 2030, an independent association. For official information on the Summit for a New Global Financial Pact, please refer to the dedicated website.  All you need to know about the Summit in one click (Q&A)Who is organizing the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact?The Summit is hosted by France. The Paris Peace Forum is also playing a key role in the organization of the Summit, ensuring the participation of civil society from around the world. When and where will it take place?The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact will take place on June 22nd and 23rd, 2023, in Paris, France, at the Palais Brongniart. All the sessions will be broadcast live online. What’s the program for the Summit?The Summit will take place over two days, the detailed program of which can be consulted here. Some fifty thematic events organized by civil society, governments, international organizations or the private sector, will take place alongside the official round tables. Who will be attending the Summit?The presence of several political leaders has already been confirmed, including Mia Mottley, Prime Minister of Barbados, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva, President of Brasil, Olaf Scholz, Chancellor of Germany, Hakainde Hichilema, President of Zambia, and many others. Many representatives of international organizations, philanthropists and activists will also be present: Ajay Banga, President of the World Bank, Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, Ursula Von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, Vanessa Nakate, activist and UN Goodwill Ambassador, Melinda French Gates, philanthropist and co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and more. How can I take part in the Summit?Applications for accreditation to attend the Summit were open until May 23. Contact the official organizers of the Summit if necessary. How can I watch the Summit online?All Summit sessions (except those behind closed doors) will be broadcast live via this link. What is the aim of the Summit?The aim is to facilitate the access of the most fragile and vulnerable countries to the financing they need to address the consequences of climate change, and to overcome the socio-economic challenges they face (over-indebtedness, poverty reduction, food security, access to health services, etc.). The Summit aims to provide an impetus to mobilize public and private resources and reaffirm existing financial commitments; while clarifying the different sources of financing available and the means to implement them; as well as formulating recommendations that could be taken into account in other formal processes such as the G20 or the COP. Why is it taking place now?The world is facing a critical moment: the crises following the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine are having dramatic economic and social consequences for developing countries and their populations. In particular, this 'polycrisis' has aggravated an underlying debt crisis that has existed for several years, at a time when a large number of low-income countries are also having to cope with the consequences of climate disruption. As a result, these countries find themselves with no viable financial means of meeting these challenges: the aim of the forthcoming Summit is therefore to create a 'solidarity shock'. What might be the outcome of the Summit?The Summit has several objectives. Firstly, it aims to build positive momentum for all the international solidarity events scheduled for this year, such as the G20, COP28 and the SDG Summit in September. It also offers the opportunity to make concrete progress, specifically requested by civil society organizations. Such progress could include advances in the reform of multilateral development banks, the introduction of new international taxes, as well as new commitments concerning the reallocation of IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), official development assistance amounts, etc.ContentsGlobal inequalities reinforced by the ongoing polycrisisFinancing the global fight against climate change and poverty: an overview of the solutionsExperts, activists, policymakers and key figures speak out: find out more about their recommendationsCivil society is taking action to change the rules of the game: discover the public mobilization campaignsSummit agenda: key dates ahead of, during and after the eventSurveys: French people’s aspirations for greater international solidarityWhat they’re saying: discover the review of press articles about the Summit Eight years after the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals by United Nations Member States, progress towards the 2030 Agenda has been undermined by the current polycrisis. The fallout from the

            [text] => Focus 2030 has produced a Special Edition to present the issues at stake at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, and the solutions it could bring. In this dossier, you’ll find facts and figures, infographics, expert interviews, citizen mobilization campaigns and survey results relating to the Summit.Ahead of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact to be held in Paris on June 22-23, ONE has initiated a campaign entitled 'Time to Redefine the Rules' calling on policymakers to push for a restructuring of the international financial architecture to support the most vulnerable countries.THE #REDEFINETHERULES CAMPAIGNThis campaign highlights the disproportionate impact of the crises of recent years on the most vulnerable countries, from the Covid-19 pandemic to the cascading consequences of the war in Ukraine and climate change. Low-income countries are thus particularly affected by the impacts of the current polycrisis, lacking the financial resources to address it and the means to effectively protect their populations. It is the responsibility of high-income countries, as the primary polluters, to assume their responsibilities by financially supporting the most vulnerable countries.ONE France’s campaign aims to raise collective awareness while also calling on the French President and to all political leaders worldwide to take action.REQUESTS MADE BY ONE FRANCEONE France has formulated three main requests to help make this summit a success :Meet the commitments made by high-income countries to redistribute a share of their Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) to low-income countries and thus reach \$100 billion.Reform the World Bank to triple its financing by 2030 to \$1.2 trillion.Commit to mobilizing at least \$50 billion per year through innovative taxes to support climate and development, such as a financial transaction tax (FTT).HOW TO GET INVOLVED IN THE CAMPAIGN ?To support the ONE France campaign, you can learn about and participate in the following activities :Sign the petition, an open letter addressed to Emmanuel Macron, in which Adenike Oladosu, a Nigerian climate activist, highlights the impacts of climate change and calls for immediate action at the Summit to support the most vulnerable populations.Discover the video and the poster campaign that points out the paradox of climate injustice that particularly affects the African continent, responsible for only 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions but first victim of the effects of global warming.Read about the main issues of the Summit explained by ONE’s Young Ambassadors (in French)Participate in an effort to call on the French President to invite him to show leadership during the Summit by sending him a message. ONE is also calling for the reform of multilateral development banks to free up billions of dollars for development through its #FundtheFuture campaign.As part of the campaign, the organization has set up an online tool to understand the parameters under which World Bank reform could mobilize billions of additional dollars to fight against poverty and climate change.In addition, 120 public figures signed an open letter addressed to the new World Bank director, Ajay Banga, outlining 10 demands for his first 100 days in office. A cartoon by Safely Endangered artist Chris McCoy illustrates the initiative..

            [descriptif] => Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, ONE’s France Director, answers three questions on reforming the global financial architecture and mobilizing citizens ahead of the Summit for a New Global Financial Pact.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => On June 22 and 23, 2023, a Summit for a New Global Financing Pact will be held in Paris, organized by France. Many leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions for financing global development and the climate transition. In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 aims to gather and highlight the point of view of organizations that are expert in their respective fields and is conducting a series of interviews with representatives of governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, and others. Discover our Special Edition about the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit.3 questions to Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, ONE France DirectorWritten interview received on May 26, 2023.Focus 2030: ONE, the NGO you lead in France, dedicated to the fight against extreme poverty, global inequality, and preventable diseases, recently launched a campaign entitled 'It’s time to redefine the rules', to call on political leaders around the world to push for a reform of the international financial architecture, to provide financial support to the most vulnerable countries. Could you tell us what such a redefinition of the rules of the game would consist of ? Najat Vallaud-Belkacem: Our current financial system is rooted in centuries of inequality and injustice, still prevalent today in international trade and in our global governance. Over the past three years, these inequalities have become particularly acute: Covid-19, inflation and the worsening effects of climate change have deepened extreme poverty, food insecurity and dependency - in places where we had hoped to reduce them. Poor countries, particularly those on the African continent, are now facing the full force of crises for which they are not responsible, yet they do not have the same tools or resources at their disposal as we do to deal with them. At ONE, we believe that we need to redefine the rules of the game.A reform should first and foremost include greater representation of African countries, moving beyond a simple consultative role, in all the decision-making bodies, starting with - but not limited to - the G20. With a population of 84 million, Germany has more voting rights at the IMF than the 54 African countries combined, representing 1.4 billion people. How can we build a balanced relationship with African countries if this situation of under-representation persists?The same applies to the climate injustice affecting the Global South. While Africa accounts for less than 4 % of global CO2 emissions, it is home to the world’s 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change. It should therefore be incumbent on the rich countries, which are also the main polluters, to acknowledge their responsibility by financially supporting low-income countries. To this end, we support the introduction of new sources of innovative financing, such as an international financial transactions tax (FTT), which would provide new opportunities for African countries to adapt and invest in green technologies. Such a tax could also be used as a means of getting those who are currently insufficiently involved in international solidarity to contribute, in particular the financial markets which, unlike poor countries, are nowhere near feeling the effects of these crises.Together with these innovative solutions, we are also calling for a reform of existing institutions. Multilateral development banks were created decades ago to lend money to developing countries, but they are now trying to solve modern problems with tools and rules dating back to the 1940s. The World Bank, for example, is under-used and needs to be rethought. Redefining the rules of the game also means modernizing multilateral development banks and freeing up over \$1,000 billion to help poor countries tackle climate change and extreme poverty.These are the orientations we are defending, particularly at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact with the Global South taking place on June 22 and 23 in Paris. From our point of view, a 'new financial pact' implies three commitments:More financial support, by identifying new sources of financing but also by delivering on past commitments.Building a fairer, more resilient system, starting by modernizing existing organizations.And finally, give more power to the countries concerned, by ensuring that they are systematically present at the negotiating table.Focus 2030 : How can citizens join you in mobilizing for the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact? How can the mobilization of civil society make a difference in this kind of international negotiations? Najat Vallaud-Belkacem: Business as usual has proven ineffective, and inequalities are on the rise. A radical departure from the usual G7, G20 and COP meetings is therefore welcome, and could be a turning point in the fight against climate change and poverty, but only if our leaders really take the issues at stake seriously. To this end, citizens will be called upon to remind governments of their responsibilities. African activists such as the ecofeminist Adenike Oladosu, who founded the 'Fridays for Future' movement in Nigeria, will be coming to Paris for the Summit. Their testimonies will be crucial in shaking things up.Focus 2030: Among the solutions put forward at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact to finance the fight against climate change and global poverty, many stakeholders, including ONE, are calling for the introduction of taxes on activities benefiting from globalization. Some countries, such as France, have already introduced a tax on financial transactions. Could the summit enable such a measure to be replicated at European, or even international, level ? Najat Vallaud-Belkacem: An ambitious agreement on a global tax on financial transactions could be a major breakthrough at the summit and is already on the negotiating table. Moreover, it is not essential for all countries to reach an agreement. All it would take is for a group of like-minded countries to decide to move forward on the subject, agreeing on the parameters of such a tax and committing to implement it at national level, and then allocating the proceeds to the fights against extreme poverty and climate change.Different modalities of financial transaction taxes already exist in over 30 countries around the world, including France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Hong Kong, the UK... Clearly, such taxes have not prevented the development of some of the world’s most important financial centers! French economist Gunther Capelle-Blancard recently published a study on the potential revenues of an FTT applied internationally. He demonstrates that a tax like the French FTT or the British Stamp Duty, applied to G20 countries, would raise between €156 and €260 billion a year. The analysis also reveals that these revenues could rise to almost €400 billion a year by extending this international FTT to intraday transactions and high-frequency trading. These amounts are staggering. Given the challenges we face, there is no reason to deprive ourselves of such a financial windfall any longer. This interview was translated by Focus 2030 from French.

            [text] => On June 22 and 23, 2023, a Summit for a New Global Financing Pact will be held in Paris, co-organized by France and India. Many leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions for financing global development and the climate transition. In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 aims to gather and highlight the point of view of organizations that are expert in their respective fields and is conducting a series of interviews with representatives of governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, and others. Discover our Special Edition about the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit. 3 questions to Cécile Duflot, Executive Director at Oxfam FranceWritten interview received on June 4, 2023.Focus 2030 : Recent international crises have led to a setback in the progress made in recent years towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a setback accentuated by the climate crisis, which is affecting countries in the South in particular, to such an extent that some of them are facing humanitarian crises. For example, Oxfam points out that 18.6 million people in the Horn of Africa are currently experiencing food insecurity. In the context of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, that takes place in Paris on June 22 and 23, how and why do you think it’s important to tackle the twin challenges of climate change and global inequality at the same time ? Cécile Duflot : The latest heatwaves in France and the huge fire in Gironde were a wake-up call to many that our country would not be spared from climate change. Yet it is beyond our borders that the climate crisis is already having its most dramatic consequences. Among its most tangible impacts is hunger, which kills thousands of people every week. The Sahel and Horn of Africa regions are in fact on the front line of unprecedented climatic disruptions, on top of pre-existing economic, social and political crises. Political instability, protracted conflicts, extreme poverty, glaring inequalities, the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, soaring food, fuel and fertilizer prices... all these factors are already destabilizing and weakening these regions. These multiple crises share dramatic consequences. They have a direct impact on extreme poverty, challenge the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and highlight the unacceptable inaction of rich countries, that are primarily responsible for the situation. It is important to bring these issues together because climate change and the extreme meteorological phenomena that come with it, increasingly numerous and violent, reduce the ability of populations to implement resilience and survival strategies to cope with shocks, sharply increase their over-indebtedness to face them and therefore also limit their possibility of longer-term development, in particular of basic social services.Rich countries, historically responsible for global climate change, have a dual responsibility : they must act to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions as well as help the most vulnerable populations to adapt. At the same time, these countries have another responsibility : to ensure that the SDGs are achieved by all, by supporting the most vulnerable populations. Paradoxically, we are currently living in a world that is more prosperous than ever, yet on a global scale, poverty is geographically highly unequal. It is in this context that international aid, among other things, has a role to play. It must be seen as a form of global redistribution that helps reduce global inequalities, or bridge the gap between rich and poor countries. This redistribution is not an act of charity. In a world of profusion, where OECD countries have 52 times the per capita income of low-income countries (World Bank, 2018), and where the wealth of the richest countries is based on the past and ongoing exploitation of the developing world, it is a matter of justice.Here again, the rich countries are not up to the task. For example, while one person dies of hunger every 28 seconds in Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, and South Sudan, barely 62% of humanitarian funding needs have been met in these countries in 2022. In the case of France, this only represents 1.2% of the total. We know that needs will continue to explode this year, so the summit is an opportunity to ensure that rich countries accept their responsibility not only for climate change, but also for global inequalities and the achievement of the SDGs.Focus 2030 : Oxfam has estimated the financial needs required to meet the development and climate challenges of low- and middle-income countries. 27,000 billion dollars should be mobilized by 2030. In your opinion, what are the best public policies to mobilize this additional funding ? Cécile Duflot : Recent history has taught us that, when there’s enough political will, governments find the means to mobilize huge sums of money. When the pandemic struck, rich countries immediately dipped into their pockets to find trillions of dollars. It was the same for the war in Ukraine. That’s the kind of ambition and urgency we need today. Rich countries could take four actions in 2023 to meet the need for \$27.4 trillion :First, keep aid promises and repay “50 years of Broken Promises'.The first step is for the richest economic powers to keep the promises they have made to the poorest countries. There is irrefutable evidence that such aid saves lives and reduces inequalities. Yet, rich countries have resolutely reneged on their aid promises, failing to fund support for LICs and MICs to the tune of \$6.5 trillion since the adoption of the UN 0.7% resolution in 1970. Rich countries have an obligation to permanently deliver on their 0.7% commitment and start to repay their aid debts. Then, commit to a 'climate debt swap'. The current system expects developing countries to borrow far too much to meet the climate challenge. This not only increases the debt burden of the poorest countries, but also reduces the sources of financing available to them. For example, almost two-thirds of the countries eligible for IDA (the World Bank institution that helps the world’s poorest countries) are in a situation of debt distress or at high risk of it, which means they are no longer eligible for concessional loans. But there is a solution. High-income countries could themselves borrow \$11.5 trillion to help pay the developing world’s climate bill. That’s less than what they borrowed to cope with the pandemic only in 2020. This 'climate debt swap' could help finance climate change mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage needs, to help them meet the climate change challenge.Third, allocate additional SDRs.The benefits of the \$650 billion Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) issuance of 2021 have been enormous. 98 developing countries have used these SDRs, notably to buy vaccines, finance social benefits and wages, and for budget support. Rich countries should not only accelerate the reallocation of at least \$100 billion from current SDR issuance to developing countries, but also commit to at least two new issuances of \$650 billion by 2030. Finally, Oxfam calls for the introduction of a progressive tax on net global wealth of up to 5%, making it possible to add \$1,100 billion a year to the budgets of donor countries. The introduction of progressive wealth taxes and more evenly distributed Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) would be enough to finance these common-sense policies, and much more. Most of the resources raised could be channeled as Official Development Assistance and climate financing via the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee. And the excess money would also enable rich countries to make strateg

This fund should become operational at the next COP (COP28) and the details of its functioning, such as its sources of financing and the countries that will benefit from it, have yet to be defined. Could you provide us with more information on the negotiations currently underway on this subject ? Hyacinthe Niyitegeka : Following the establishment of the Loss and Damage Fund and funding arrangements at COP 27, as well as the mandate of the Transitional Committee (TC) to undertake work intersessionally and make recommendations to COP 28 for the operationalization of the funding arrangements and fund, the next step is to see a decision on the operationalization of the funding arrangements and fund at COP 28.With work being carried out by the TC, loss and damage finance will not be considered under a separate agenda item at the June Bonn Climate Conference (SB 58). However, following the improvement of the Glasgow Dialogue resolution at COP 27, the work of the TC will be informed by the second Glasgow Dialogue. The second Glasgow Dialogue at SB 58 will focus on the operationalization of the new funding arrangements for responding to loss and damage and the Loss and Damage Fund, as well as on maximizing support from existing funding arrangements relevant for responding to economic and non-economic losses, slow-onset events, and extreme weather events, among other things.Focus 2030 : What are the financial requirements for the loss and damage fund, and how could these resources be mobilized ? Hyacinthe Niyitegeka : Included in the recent report by the authors from Heinrich - Böll - Stiftung US and Loss and Damage Collaboration, mid-point modeling suggests that loss and damage in developing countries will cost \$425 billion a year in the 2020s and \$671 billion in the 2030s. A minimum floor of \$400 billion a year has been suggested for loss and damage finance. This suggested quantum would be made up of developed country contributions and fair and equitable alternative sources such as a tax on the fossil fuel industry, a climate damages tax, or on frequent flyers, or on international shipping - a currently untaxed sector. An overall target, aligned with the minimum floor of \$400 billion a year, for loss and damage should be enshrined as a sub-goal in the New Collective Quantified Goal, which is currently being negotiated and will supersede the US\$100 billion per year climate finance commitment set in 2009 at COP 15.Noting that this original goal was unrelated to needs and based solely on political feasibility and was wholly inadequate, much improvement is required ! Focus 2030 : The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, scheduled for June 22-23 in Paris, will focus on mobilizing new financing for the climate transition of the most vulnerable countries. What progress can we expect from this Summit regarding loss and damage ? What decisions, deliverables or “action coalitions” do you think would be effective in moving this agenda forward ? Hyacinthe Niyitegeka : The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact should recognise the urgency of addressing loss and damage and its reality in developing countries. The participants of the Summit must advance discussions on the alternative sources of finance to address loss and damage, such as taxes on fossil fuels, fossil fuel levies, international maritime levies and global wealth taxes.They should also amplify the call from the Climate Vulnerable Forum and other vulnerable developing country groups and Parties to develop a regular Loss and Damage finance gap report to be undertaken by a United Nations agency such as UNEP or UNDP.They should enhance the discussion on delivering the finance to address loss and damage on a scale commensurate to the needs, with US\$400 billion per year considered as a floor with an acknowledgement that financing needs will likely have to be revised upward over time.In line with the Summit objectives, we expect that the main outcomes will include the concrete discussions on how the alternative sources of new and additional, predictable, adequate, precautionary and equitable financing to address loss and damage in such a way that it meets the needs of the most affected people and populations groups, protects their rights, and is directly accessible to them. The discussions should take into account that loss and damage finance should be grant based, ensuring that the delivery of Loss and Damage finance does not impose additional debt burdens.  The opinions expressed in this interview are those of Hyacinthe Niyitegeka and do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus 2030.

            [text] => On June 22 and 23, 2023, a Summit for a New Global Financing Pact will be held in Paris, organized by France. Many leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions for financing global development and the climate transition. In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 aims to gather and highlight the point of view of organizations that are expert in their respective fields and is conducting a series of interviews with representatives of governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, and others. Discover our Special Edition about the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit. Interview with Justin Vaïsse, Founder and Director General of the Paris Peace ForumWritten interview received on May 28, 2023.Focus 2030: The Paris Peace Forum, a platform for dialogue and cooperation on global governance solutions, is involved the organization of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, to be held in Paris on June 22 and 23. The Summit will focus on proposing financial solutions to the climate, debt and development challenges facing the world’s most vulnerable countries. What is the Summit’s philosophy? How can we ensure that the demands of all the groups concerned are heard, beyond the participation of State representatives?  Justin Vaïsse: We’ve come a long way since the Congress of Vienna, and I believe that over the past thirty years or so, international decision-makers have come to understand the importance of including the voices of civil society when collective decisions affecting the future of humanity are taken - mainly to safeguard their legitimacy. It is, of course, around the COP process that this multi-actor participation has been most observed, with the 2015 COP21 in Paris as the high point. Let’s be clear : at these summits, civil society is not on an equal footing with government decision-makers, who have the final say. The core of the reactor, so to speak, remains intergovernmental. But the presence and participation of a significant number of civil society actors on the meeting sites can be a game-changer, as it puts pressure on negotiators, constrains their choices and pushes for greater ambition and accountability. The transparency it brings also helps to reduce diplomatic maneuvering and hypocrisy (e.g. double standards between the negotiating and domestic arenas). Turning to the June summit, the Paris Peace Forum is helping to build this platform for civil society engagement, to make the voices of the South heard, so that the people present at the Palais Brongniart are more representative of the whole world, and of the groups most affected by the decisions that I hope will be taken.Focus 2030: The Summit has raised many hopes of finding financial solutions to the challenges we’ve just mentioned. What do you think a successful Summit would look like, and under what conditions?  Justin Vaïsse: It’s clear that the Bretton Woods institutions are no longer adapted to the world we live in, with its more frequent climate disasters that disrupt long-term financing and repayment plans overnight and set back the affected countries by several years, with the need to finance climate adaptation for which the private sector obviously lacks interest, but also with the transformations in the very notion of development, much called into question in recent years. When we help protect the Amazon rainforest by developing local economic alternatives, are we fighting poverty in Brazil, or are we fighting climate change in our own interests? And then there’s the urgent need to tackle the debt problem, which has exploded as a result of rising interest rates, threatening many low- and middle-income countries.For me, the two main markers of the summit’s success would be, on the one hand, a paradigm shift, a new consensus on the means and tools for financing development and climate, which would be a North-South consensus, and on the other hand, a series of more concrete advances, deliverables to be confirmed at subsequent international meetings (G20, UNGA, COP28 in particular), which would notably enable the Bretton Woods institutions and their practices to evolve. The list is well known : debt suspension clauses in the event of a climate catastrophe, conversion of SDRs into financial resources for developing countries, increased World Bank lending, etc. It will take time, but I think it’s essential to go beyond traditional fiscal resources. It seems obvious to me that fossil fuels should finance large-scale renewables, for example - it’s up to us to find the mechanisms for this.And if we take a step back, I think it would be great if civil society could be heard and help build a form of North-South consensus, given that the question of allocating financial flows to poverty or climate change is essential - and on this point the disagreement on arbitration is not just between North and South, but also between countries of the South. I would add a final objective, one of raising awareness among the populations of the North of their responsibility in this matter. It’s not a matter of admitting guilt, but simply of recognizing that the bulk of climate change is caused by Northern countries, that rising interest rates also come from us, all the while recognizing that we control the main levers of action. Behind the North-South consensus, there is a great deal of work to be done in the North.Focus 2030: This Summit is being held at a particular international juncture, at a time of major polarization between different States, crystallizing in particular around international measures to combat climate change and reduce debt. Is it possible to build a consensus around a reform of the international financial architecture in such a context? Justin Vaïsse: That’s right: this summit is taking place against a backdrop of polarization, particularly between China and the United States, not to mention the war in Ukraine. When I was in Washington for the IMF and World Bank spring meetings, I was struck by the extent of Sino-American rivalry in these financial issues, which was not really the case before. The truth is that China now holds a significant share of the debt of the countries of the South, so it is difficult to restructure without its involvement. Yet, China is not a member of the Paris Club and weighs only around 6% at the World Bank and IMF, instead of the 16% or more its GDP would entitle it to - and in this respect, it is Western countries that ought to make their move. At the same time, it is often reluctant to write off the debts of distressed countries, and its receivables are sometimes opaque. Without going into the details of this debate, it’s clear that we need more coordination, and the announcement of a high-level Chinese participant to the Summit, probably the Prime Minister, is a good omen. This interview was translated by Focus 2030 from French.

            [descriptif] => Indian social entrepreneur Jeroo Billimoria and co-founder of One Family Foundation and Catalyst 2030 answers 3 questions ahead of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => On June 22 and 23, 2023, a Summit for a New Global Financing Pact will be held in Paris, organized by France. Many leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions for financing global development and the climate transition. In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 aims to gather and highlight the point of view of organizations that are expert in their respective fields and is conducting a series of interviews with representatives of governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, and others. Discover our Special Edition about the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit. Interview with Jeroo Billimoria, Co-founder of One Family Foundation and Catalyst 2030Written interview received on June 6, 2023.Focus 2030: You are the co-founder of One Family Foundation, which incubates Catalyst 2030, an organisation whose aim is to achieve the SDGs by 2030 through cooperation, innovation and collective action. The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact aims to identify solutions to mobilise additional funding to tackle global poverty and climate change through a reform of the international financial architecture and innovative financing mechanisms. To what extent do you see this Summit as an opportunity to mobilise both global poverty and climate change constituencies? Jeroo Billimoria: This Summit is a golden opportunity to meaningfully prompt large-scale global financial reforms. There are four key steps necessary to making this happen.1. Put development back in the hands of the communityPutting the power back in the hands of those affected is not only ethical, it is logical. By collaborating with community members to identify goals, develop plans and create collaborative relationships internally and with external actors sustainability can be baked into development—all while building on community strengths and local leadership.2. Fund social innovators locallySocial innovators are usually members of the local communities and have been “living” the challenge for years. As such, they have developed solutions that have community buy-in, source local materials and populations and have proven track records of doing exactly what they have set out to do. The Turning Wheels report, published in May 2023 by members of the Catalyst 2030 network, highlights the incredible power of innovative, locally developed and implemented solutions to achieve the SDGs.3. Create efficiencies in how aid is deployedWhen solutions from the frontlines are funded, they are very efficient, very successful, and lose far less money to planning and administration than organisations which are non based in and led by the community. A study from Sharetrust estimates that total cost savings as a result of shifting 25% of UN/INGO ODA directly to local intermediaries would result in cost savings of 4.7 billion USD annually.4. Implement three simple and innovative funding mechanismsImplementation of the One Cent Principle contribution that will collect one cent per transaction on all digital credit card payments (annual contribution of 4.27 billion USD by 2026) as well as on international financial transfers (revenue of 153 million USD annually)Return of subsidies/tax breaks by private companies once they turn a profit (just based on the US and EU data over 500 billion USD (subject to confirmation) could be generated annually)Implementing a People and Planet tax of 2% on the global top 5,000 corporations (to mobilise 147 billion USD) and of 10% on the excessive luxury market (to mobilise 120 billion USD per year).In developing the new financing “toolbox” at this Summit, there is a real opportunity for world leaders to commit to seeing frontline solutions and supporting them on global institutional levels. The New Allies handbook lays out simple, actionable and innovative ways this collaboration can happen. Partnering with social innovators, giving them a voice and a seat at the table will help ensure local communities needs are heard, innovative solutions are brought to the forefront and acceleration of the SDGs can be achieved.Focus 2030: The Summit for a New Global Financing Pact envisages encouraging private sector participation to mobilise more development and climate funds. How can we mobilise resources from the private sector? Jeroo Billimoria: The discussion around mobilising resources from the private sector should not only be about new funds, but also about improving the existing business environment to become more sustainable and ethical. Product life cycle, accounting for negative externalities and creating better value for all involved throughout the value chain. By partnering with social innovators the private sector will be able to better account for these things whilst also creating better outcomes for the communities involved.1. Commit to Circular Production and accounting for externalitiesThe current production model tends to skew towards short term use and disposal, which contributes heavily to the estimated 2 billion tonnes of landfill destined waste produced across the globe every year. Not only is this irresponsible, it is fundamentally unsustainable. The private sector must commit to creating higher quality and longer lasting products that can be repaired and when they have reached the end of their lifespan, recovered and broken down into elements that can be reused. Typically this last piece has been left to consumers and municipalities to “figure out”. The result of this is overflowing waste and valuable materials being destroyed. Where a circular model is not possible, in energy production for instance, the negative externalities should be accounted for and offset, in as much as is possible.2. Commit to Partnerships with social innovators throughout value chainEthical material sourcing for products is one of the simplest things the private sector can actually do to create less damaging products benefiting local communities. By partnering with social innovators throughout the value chain, the private sector can source materials that are created/extracted in a less damaging way, creates sustainable livelihoods for those involved and supports holistic economic development in communities. When this has been done well, the economic and development knock-on effects have been substantial, delivering multiple benefits not only for those in the value chain, but also for the companies themselves with a better public image and greater employee satisfaction. Some good examples of this can be found in the Catalysing Collaborations report.Focus 2030: The polycrisis resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and climate change is jeopardising the attainment of the SDGs. How can this Summit be an important moment to galvanise the international community and get it back on track with the 2030 agenda before the UN SDG Summit in September 2023 and forthcoming international moments (G20, COP28...)? What concrete outcomes would you expect to get the SDGs on track? Jeroo Billimoria: The international community has deliberated and debated ; the war in Ukraine and the global pandemic have shown a global willingness to come together when a challen

            [descriptif] => Find out in this analysis the main issues that the summit for a new global financing pact intends to address.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Focus 2030 has produced a Special Edition to present the issues at stake at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, and the solutions it could bring. In this dossier, you’ll find facts and figures, infographics, expert interviews, citizen mobilization campaigns and survey results relating to the Summit.The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the United Nations in 2015, represent to date the most ambitious international framework to promote sustainable and inclusive international development. These 17 goals aim to, among other things, eliminate poverty, hunger, gender inequality and promote good health, education, respect for the environment and peace by 2030.Thanks to the efforts of the international community, real progress has been made since 1990 in many areas: reduction of poverty, better schooling rates, increase in life expectancy, suggesting a convergence between living conditions in the most fragile and the most industrialized countries.Nevertheless, since 2020, a slowdown in progress, or even a reversal, has been observed, driven by the health, economic and social consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and the ever more obvious manifestations of climate change. These global crises have caused an unprecedented shock: while the achievement of the SDGs was already uncertain, their success now seems largely compromised, notes the United Nations with regret.While these crises have affected all countries, their consequences have not been felt equally. The most fragile countries have been hit much harder than others. The latter have to cope with a growing proportion of their expenditure on interest payments and debt repayments, restricting their ability to finance public policies that contribute to achieving the SDGs.The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) warns that 52 developing economies, including more than 25 of those most threatened by the consequences of climate change, are experiencing serious debt problems.According to Oxfam, \$27 trillion will have to be mobilized to 'fight poverty, inequality and climate change in developing countries' by 2030, or about \$3.9 trillion per year.In this context, France will organize Summit for a New Global Financing Pact in June 2023, with the ambition to push for a structural transformation of the global financial architecture in order to finance the climate emergency while continuing to fight poverty. Below is an overview of the main issues to which the Summit intends to provide solutions.CONTENTS1. Fight against poverty: the end of progress2. The rise of food insecurity3. Global health: a step backwards4. Worsening gender inequalities5. The global decline in the Human Development Index (HDI)6. Climate change affects countries unequally7. An unsustainable debt8. What are the financing needs for developing countries? 1. Fight against poverty: the end of progress757 million people lived below the extreme poverty line in 2020, compared to 684 million in 2019Since the 1990s, most development indicators have shown positive dynamics. The fight against poverty, symbolized by SDG 1, is a significant example. In 30 years, the number of people living below the extreme poverty line (set at less than \$2.15 per day by the World Bank) has decreased significantly, from 2 billion in 1990 to 684 million in 2019. Nevertheless, in 2020, this number increased for the first time in 20 years, and its decline has largely slowed since then according to World Bank estimates.In 2024, the number of people living in extreme poverty is estimated at 692 million, returning to 2019 level. The Covid-19 pandemic and the rise in food and energy prices, accentuated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and climate shocks in some major producing countries, have had a tangible impact on the number of people living below the extreme poverty line, considerably slowing down the efforts made for several decades. The achievement of SDG 1 now appears to be under serious threat: 622 million people will still be living below this threshold in 2030.  In addition to the issue of poverty, the SDGs also aim to improve the living conditions of the entire world population in all their aspects: food, education, health, access to water, gender equality, etc. These issues are closely linked, and all have been affected by the recent international crises.   2. The rise of food insecurity190 million more people suffer from hunger since the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine startedSDG 2 aims to eliminate hunger by 2030. However, according to a 2021 UN estimate, the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has led to an additional 118 million people being undernourished, on top of the 693 million people already affected before the pandemic. In 2022, the UNDP estimated that 71 million people would also be suffering from hunger, only three months after the beginning of the Ukrainian conflict. Thus, if this war affects primarily Ukrainians, its consequences aggravate food insecurity on the whole planet. 3. Global health: a step backwardsFor the first time in 100 years, global life expectancy declined from 73 to 71 years between 2019 and 2021Global health, promoted by SDG 3, has been largely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Excessive mortality rate (at least 20 million deaths associated with Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic in 2020), shortages of medical supplies, and vaccine inequities are all consequences of the pandemic that have stalled global progress towards achieving good health and well-being. Global life expectancy has declined for the first time in a century, from 72.8 years in 2019 to 71 years in 2021. Similarly, the number of people in urgent need of care has increased in 2023 (339 million), mainly due to the many humanitarian crises underway, notably in Ukraine, Yemen and Afghanistan. 4. Worsening gender inequalitiesAt the current rate of progress, gender equality will not be achieved until 2154, a 30-year setback compared to pre-Covid-19 estimatesIn 2019, the World Economic Forum estimated that it would take another 100 years to achieve gender equality worldwide. While this figure already reflected great difficulty in achieving SDG 5 by 2030, the Covid-19 pandemic has pushed that deadline back another generation, to 132 years in 2022. Women have been more affected by the consequences of the pandemic than men: they are more likely to live below the extreme poverty line, more likely to be employed in informal jobs (and thus deprived of social protection), more likely to be victims of gender-based violence in their own homes, etc. The United Nations already believes that the humanitarian and economic consequences of the war in Ukraine will only aggravate these conclusions. 5. The global decline in the Human Development Index (HDI)The Covid-19 pandemic has had a negative

            [descriptif] => Jeffrey Sachs, President of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UNSDSN) answers 3 questions on reforms and measures to finance development and the achievement of the SDGs ahead of the Summit for a New Financing Pact.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => On June 22 and 23, 2023, a Summit for a New Global Financing Pact will be held in Paris, co-organized by France and India. Many leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions for financing global development and the climate transition. In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 aims to gather and highlight the point of view of organizations that are expert in their respective fields and is conducting a series of interviews with representatives of governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, and others. Discover our Special Edition about the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit. Interview with Jeffrey Sachs, President of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions NetworkWritten interview received on May 12, 2023.Focus 2030 : Every year, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) publishes the Sustainable Development Report and its SDG Index, which measure national progress towards the SDGs in all 193 UN Member States. The latest edition of the report highlights that a global plan to finance the SDGs is needed, and discusses the critical channels of development finance for low-and lower-middle income countries.  In your view, what are the most important advances and reforms to be made ? To what extent can the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact contribute to this agenda ? Jeffrey Sachs : With a suitable reform of the global financial architecture, low-income countries would boost their domestic investment rates by around 20 percent of GDP and lower-middle-income countries by around 10 percent of GDP. The rise in investment rates would greatly accelerate economic growth and sustainable development, dramatically expanding access to education, health care, low-carbon electricity, public transportation, housing, safe water and sanitation, and digital services. The poorer countries would finally see a viable future. Ending extreme poverty would become practicable and within reach, as occurred in China between 1980 and 2020. To get this started, we need official financing – such as from the multilateral development banks and sovereign wealth funds. Yet over time, market financing (from pension funds, insurance companies, banks, and others) could surely play a growing role.Focus 2030 : The Covid-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and their cascading consequences have significantly reduced the fiscal space of many countries, affecting their ability to implement public policies contributing to the realization of the 2030 Agenda. In the meantime, many countries have experienced downgrades of their sovereign credit ratings, higher borrowing costs, and increased risks of debt distress. Credit-rating agencies, which determine sovereign ratings, play a crucial role on debt sustainability and stability.  What role can credit-rating agencies play in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, and under which conditions ? Jeffrey Sachs : The first point is that the war in Ukraine should end through a negotiated settlement. Ukraine cannot win it on the battlefield, against a nuclear superpower that is intent on stopping NATO enlargement. My personal view is that we shouldn’t accept an utter policy disaster like the Ukraine War as a fait accompli, or something delivered by only one side of the conflict. We should understand the deeper history of such debacles and solve them at their core, in the case of Ukraine (and US-China relations) by establishing a suitable global security architecture that includes all nations, rather than dividing the world between the “West” and the “Rest.” Having said that, let me get to the crux of the question, about the credit-rating system. The problem is this. Credit ratings mainly measure liquidity risks, not long-term development risks. And liquidity risks are quite high for poorer countries, since these countries borrow in foreign currencies (dollars and Euros) rather than in their own currencies. Simply put, governments of developing countries occasionally run out of dollars in the short term, through mismanagement or panic by bond buyers, or a combination of the two. As a result, they go into default, even though the long-term growth prospects of the economy are strong. In the midst of such crises, nobody knows much, or thinks much, about the longer term. The poor credit ratings of these countries therefore signal this liquidity risk. The IMF, in turn, advises countries not to borrow very much, generally to keep gross sovereign debt under 50 percent of GDP, or even lower. The result is sustained poverty, not sustainable development. The real solution is to stop the liquidity crises, not to stop the borrowing and long-term development. There are three main ways to do this. The first is for governments to borrow long-term, not short-term. The multilateral development banks should greatly step up their long-term development finance. The second is for governments to borrow in domestic currencies. This would be possible for the larger emerging economies and for monetary unions linking smaller countries. The third would be for the IMF (together with the major central banks) to play the role of a true liquidity provider (and lender of last resort) rather than acting as an emergency room doctor only after a default occurs. For that, the IMF would need to be given much more liquidity and much more power than it now possesses. For their part, the credit-rating agencies should provide two kinds of indicators, the short-run indicator of liquidity risk as now, but also a long-run measure of growth potential. For that, the credit-rating agencies would need to develop a new methodology based on long-term growth modeling. This would be a quite salutary development. The truth is that poorer countries have strong growth prospects – if they gain access to long-term financing. Focus 2030 : The 2022 Sustainable Development Report also reveals that for the second year in a row, the world is no longer making progress on the SDGs.  In addition to sufficient financing, what would it take for the world to achieve the SDGs by 2030 ?  Jeffrey Sachs : There are five pillars of global SDG success. The first is an integrated national development strategy in each country that links together six key areas of SDG-based public investments : education, health, energy, agriculture, urban infrastructure, and digital platforms. The second is a long-term SDG financing strategy in each country, based on higher domestic saving, higher foreign financing, and higher government revenues as a share of GDP in the long term. The third is improved implementation capacity at the national and city levels, both for public investments and for public services (such as healthcare, education, public transport, and water and sanitation). The fourth is regional cooperation in each part of the world, in building a low-carbon energy system, including a low-carbon power grid, hydrogen economy, electric-vehicle infrastructure, and public transport (fast inter-city rail, etc.). The fifth is global cooperation across the regions, in which the US and Europe stop trying to exclude Russia and China, but actually work together with all regions – Latin America, Africa, Russia, China, Southeast Asia, and others. The developing world is tired of the battle of the West versus the Rest, and tired of being lectured to by the US and Europe. The developing world wants truly global sustainable development, not just wealth for the North Atlantic region of the world. These are some of the important messages that we push in the 2023 Sustainable De

            [text] => On June 22 and 23, 2023, a Summit for a New Global Financing Pact will be held in Paris, organized by France. Many leaders from States, governments, international organizations, civil society and the private sector will be invited to discuss solutions for financing global development and the climate transition. In order to decipher the stakes of this Summit, Focus 2030 aims to gather and highlight the point of view of organizations that are expert in their respective fields and is conducting a series of interviews with representatives of governments, international organizations, NGOs, think tanks, and others. Discover our Special Edition about the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact and all the interviews with experts conducted ahead of the Summit. Interview with Achim Steiner, Administrator of the United Nations Development ProgrammeWritten interview received on May 26, 2023.Focus 2030 : As the UN’s development agency, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A recent UN report, the SDG Stimulus to deliver Agenda 2030, warns that the multiple shocks the global economy is facing (Covid-19 pandemic, impacts from the war in Ukraine, high inflation, and weak economic growth, tightening monetary and financial conditions, unsustainable debt burdens, and the escalating climate emergency) are threatening to further reverse progress on the SDGs. How to ensure a renewed commitment of the international community in favor of the achievement of the SDGs ? Achim Steiner: At the aggregate global level, the world is simply not moving fast enough on many of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A recent assessment of the roughly 140 SDG targets with data show that only about 12 percent are on track, while 30 percent show no progress or have even gone backward below the baseline set in 2015.This comes in the wake of an era of polycrisis, including the ongoing socio-economic shockwaves of a pandemic and violent conflicts at their highest levels since 1945 including the war in Ukraine and its spillover effects. The cost of living has increased, with food prices skyrocketing, placing us at hunger levels we haven’t seen since 2005. Furthermore, many developing countries are experiencing a mounting debt crisis, leading to strained economic and financial conditions. A recent analysis by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) highlighted that 52 low- and middle-income developing economies are currently either in debt distress or at high risk of debt distress. If this situation is not tackled, these countries will simply be unable to invest in critical areas such as poverty reduction, gender equality, and clean energy initiatives. But it is precisely, in the midst of the current geopolitical turmoil and escalating crises, the importance of the SDGs cannot be overstated. These goals remain one of the few platforms on which all nations can concur to work together towards a more promising future. That’s why the upcoming SDG Summit in September 2023 is of added importance. To address these pressing needs, the UN Secretary-General’s SDG Stimulus Plan provides a clear framework for action. The plan includes new measures to inject liquidity, reschedule and restructure debt, and leverage private finance. We urge the G20 to mobilise at least \$500 billion available each year to developing countries. Let’s work together to overcome these challenges and ensure a prosperous future for all. As the Secretary-General so aptly put it, if we do not act decisively and urgently, the 2030 Agenda and the 17 SDGs may only serve as a memorial to a world with limitless possibilities yet tragically unfulfilled. Let us commit ourselves to taking bold actions towards realizing the SDGs and averting this dire scenario before us. Focus 2030 : What role do you think the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, convened by France on June 22-23 in Paris, can play in this context, and under which conditions ? Achim Steiner: We are on the cusp of the greatest shifts in the multilateral system — which remains the best way to forge a better world — since its establishment nearly 80 years ago. It involves evolving this tried-and-trusted system so that we can come together and realize a prosperous future that works for all peoples, the planet and future generations. In the here and now, that requires crafting a new, fit-for-purpose global financial architecture. The summit can play a crucial role in bringing together leaders and experts from different countries and regions to discuss financial policies and strategies that promote global economic growth and stability. The summit aims to create a 'New Global Financing Pact' that strengthens global financial governance to create a more sustainable, inclusive, and equitable world economy. In many ways, it is a precursor to the G20 Summit and the SDG Summit in September, and the COP planned for November, with the purpose of highlighting critical issues such as the SDG Stimulus, the Bridgetown Agenda, and other global processes in an effort to reach consensus. These procedures offer a comprehensive plan for addressing the current global 'poly-crisis.' Specifically, the Summit is expected to facilitate a strong partnership between the global North and South, with a focus on development and climate finance. The partnership aims to tackle various challenges that include concessional financing, enhancing private capital inflows, and mitigating vulnerability, all of which are crucial in overcoming existing obstacles. Focus 2030 : Oxfam recently estimated that at least an additional USD 3.9 trillion a year are needed until 2030 to fill financing gaps in health, education, social protection and to tackle climate change in low- and middle-income countries. Among the possible solutions to the SDGs financing gap put forward as part of the Summit, such as an agreement on a new global tax, Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) rechanneling, debt relief, a multilateral development banks (MDBs) reform, or Just Energy Transition Partnerships (JETPs), which concrete deliverable or new approach would you say has the best chance for success ? What would a success of the Summit look like and what could be the next steps ? Achim Steiner: Development finance is increasingly becoming a “big divider” between developed and developing countries, hindering progress towards the SDG and the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement. With 120 developing countries grappling with either mitigating or muddling through an economic crisis in 2023 (65 countries with less than 2 percent growth ; 55 countries with 2 to 4 percent growth) and persistently high interest rates, the conditions to create jobs and attract private flows are an uphill task for both 2023 and 2024. This applies to development finance of all types, including ODA, concessional and near-concessional loans, guarantees, and all kinds of insurance. The Summit in Paris must build upon the signals from the G20 meetings and recent G7 summit by aiming higher and pursuing greater ambition. There is no silver bullet, but there are several streams of finance that need to converge –many of which have been the flagged by the UN’s SDG Stimulus and the Bridgetown Initiative: Firstly, Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) reform – including greater paid-in capital - will enable development ba

            [descriptif] => Ahead of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, French and international NGOs are spearheading an integrated, multi-stakeholder campaign to urge political decision-makers to make tangible financial commitments to countries in the Global South.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Focus 2030 has produced a Special Edition to present the issues at stake at the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact, and the solutions it could bring. In this dossier, you’ll find facts and figures, infographics, expert interviews, citizen mobilization campaigns and survey results relating to the Summit.On the occasion of the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact to be held in Paris on June 22 and 23, 2023, a coalition of French and international non-governmental organizations and civil society organizations is launching a campaign whose common objective is to ask the leaders of industrialized countries for concrete and massive financial commitments in favor of the countries of the Global South. These commitments include the revision or cancellation of these countries’ debts, and an increase in aid.Led by Oxfam France - and including CCFD-Terre Solidaire, CARE France, ONE, Global Citizen and the Climate Action Network - this informal coalition is first and foremost an opportunity - in collaboration with the international networks involved and under the impetus of Oxfam France - to collectively make a series of political demands on the substance of the Summit and on the participation of civil society organizations in the planned work. It is also an opportunity to inform and enlighten citizens about the real issues involved in financing climate action and development.The campaignOn the second half of June 2023, these organizations are proposing an integrated, multi-stakeholder campaign with the intention of pushing leading politicians to make tangible commitments to countries in the global South, with the priorities of financing climate action that weakens populations and fighting the spread of world hunger.To ensure that this Summit is not just another date on the leaders’ agenda, but an opportunity to demonstrate major progress for the most vulnerable countries, the NGOs CCFD-Terre Solidaire, CARE France, ONE, Oxfam France, Global Citizen and the Climate Action Network will be taking the floor on June 20 at an unprecedented joint press conference to warn the event’s stakeholders of the urgency of drastically reforming the world’s financial system.In the days leading up to the Summit, a multi-actor video will also be unveiled to explain what is at stake at this international meeting, and why it is urgent for world leaders to assume their responsibilities.The NGO CARE, in coalition with other NGOs, will be hosting a media event, as well as a number of personalities from countries in the Global South.The approachThe main demands shared by these associations are the revision or cancellation of the debt owed by countries in the Global South, and a much more significant increase in French - and more generally the Global North - official development assistance.The coalition of CSOs/NGOs is asking very concretely:To democratize the international financial architecture through the advent of a fairer financial system,A fundamental work on debt and tax justice for a genuine transformation of North/South financial relations, including a systematic fight against tax evasion and regulation of the private sector,To honor commitments made regarding official development assistance (ODA) and, beyond that, increase funding dedicated to ODA, notably through the allocation of new special drawing rights,A 'shock' for climate financing. In this regard, Oxfam also requests: For rich countries to borrow \$11.5 trillion to finance an unprecedented climate debt swap with poorer countries, in addition to finally honoring their aid commitments, for which they are accumulating a \$6.5 trillion backlog. Borrowing \$11.5 trillion to help pay the poorest countries’ climate bill is far less than they borrowed to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. With this borrowing, their debt-to-GDP ratio would only slightly exceed the peak of the pandemic, while the countries of the South are unfairly forced to borrow at excessively high rates, adding to their debt burden.The introduction of a progressive tax on net wealth of up to 5% to add a base of 1 100 billion dollars to the budgets of donor countries (members of the OECD Development Assistance Committee) each year. The production of progressive wealth taxes and better distributed Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) would be enough to finance these common-sense policies and much more. And the surplus money would also enable rich countries to make strategic investments aimed at reducing inequalities in their own countries.To ensure that rich countries keep their aid commitments to the poorest countries, as they have resolutely failed to do so for over 50 years, to the tune of 6,500 billion dollars. Since 1970, the United Nations has adopted a resolution calling on rich countries to devote 0.7% of their gross national income each year to official development assistance. What’s more, these same rich countries have yet to honor their 2009 pledge to provide developing countries with at least \$100 billion a year to finance the impacts of global warming.How can you take part in this multi-stakeholder campaign?Follow and share the inter-associative press conference on the Summit to be held on June 20 at 9 am in the heart of Paris.Stay informed via the feature article (in French), the decoding video, the joint op-ed and related events on the Summit topics that will be published and disseminated on the Oxfam France website, on social networks and by partner organizations.Take part in the livestream on the Twitch platform on June 17 & 18: for 36 hours, streamers, gamers and viewers will be challenged to raise awareness among users of the Twitch ecosystem, and to raise funds dedicated to crises in the Sahel.Sign the collective petition calling for the taxation of superprofits to implement a fair ecological transition.

            [timestamp] => 1680732000
            [descriptif] => Discover the results of the new DEL and Focus 2030 comparative survey on the opinions and knowledge of French, German, British and American women on gender equality in the world.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => In partnership with University College London (UCL) and the University of Birmingham, Focus 2030 is conducting a research-action program to analyze the perceptions, attitudes, behaviors and perceptions of citizens on international solidarity issues in four countries : France, Germany, the United States and Great Britain.Entitled Development Engagement Lab (DEL), this project aims to provide development actors (NGOs, foundations, think tanks, ministries, public institutions, international organizations) with data to enable them to better understand citizens’ expectations in order to implement their communication, mobilization and advocacy activities. The results presented below are based on a survey conducted by YouGov between February 20 and March 1, 2023 among a representative sample of the national populations of the four countries surveyed (France, Germany, Great Britain, and the United States), i.e., approximately 2,000 adults per country. Margin of error : ±2%. Although slow, progress has been made in the last few decades in terms of gender equality throughout the world : a decrease in maternal mortality, an increase in the representation of women in political and economic decision-making bodies, reduction of the gap in school enrolment between girls and boys, and a better consideration of gender issues in the definition of official development assistance policies, in particular through an increase in the amounts allocated to women’s rights.At the same time, the Covid-19 pandemic, conflicts, climate change and the so-called 'backlash' phenomena are hampering the progress made, with real consequences on the lives of women and girls. Throughout the world, inequalities between women and men remain a reality that SDG 5 seeks to remedy by 2030. With this deadline now halfway over, Focus 2030 has produced an Overview of the State of Women’s Rights in the World in 2023, which highlights the progress made so far but also the long way to go. Indeed, according to UN Women, 200 million women have undergone female genital mutilation, one in five women has suffered physical or sexual violence in her lifetime, or women represent only 13% of owners of agricultural land. This is why, in February 2023, as part of the Development Engagement Lab project, Focus 2030 wanted to measure the knowledge of French, German, British and American citizens regarding gender equality.Has equality between women and men progressed over the last ten years ?  When people in the four countries surveyed are asked whether women and men are more equal today than they were ten years ago, all respondents recognize progress on equality, both at the household level in each of the four countries and in developing countries.Germany has the highest proportion (70%) of respondents who believe that women and men are more equal than they were ten years ago. On the other hand, it is in France that this equality is least agreed upon (44%).This optimism seems less obvious when it comes to the situation in developing countries. In the three European countries surveyed (France, Germany, Great Britain), the proportion of respondents who believe that women and men are more equal than they were ten years ago is much lower in developing countries than their perception of the situation in their own country.Among the answers obtained in France about the situation in France :The age of the respondents has no influence on the answers.More men (50%) than women (39%) say that women and men have become more equal over the past ten years, a difference of 11 percentage points.More respondents (50%) with an education level higher than high school (50%) agree that there has been progress in equality than those who report not having a high school diploma (40%), a difference of 10 percentage points.Among the responses obtained in France regarding the situation in developing countries :Men respondents are more likely to consider that women and men are more equal than they were ten years ago (a difference of 6 points).Respondents aged between 18 and 34 are more likely than their elders (+10 percentage points) to believe that women and men are more equal in developing countries.What are the main barriers to gender equality ? From a list of hypotheses that could explain why women are not treated like men in their own country, respondents were asked to select several possible explanations. In the four countries surveyed, it is clear for all respondents that the two main reasons for the unequal treatment of women and men are, on the one hand, the weight of culture and history, and on the other hand, the fact that men resist the evolution towards more equality ; this is more apparent in the answers obtained in Great Britain (39%) than in France (28%).The third reason given is practical, i.e., the lack of laws to guarantee equality between women and men. This hypothesis is particularly popular in France (35%) and not very popular in Great Britain (18%).The low representation of women in politics is the fourth reason identified to explain gender inequalities in similar proportions in the four countries. On average, the influence of religion is perceived as the fifth explanation of gender inequality, except in Germany (15%).The hypothesis that women and men are 'fundamentally different' is not very popular in France (13%) or Germany (12%), and more popular in Great Britain (18%) or the United States (20%), as is the reference to the nature of things.Access to education and training only comes in seventh place, a reason that is not particularly mentioned by respondents in Germany.France (8%) had the lowest proportion of respondents who said that 'women and men are treated the same,' a proportion more than half as high as in Germany (21%), Great Britain (18%) and the United States (19%).Many more French women (42%) than men (27%) say that a lack of laws is a major reason for gender inequality. They are also more likely than men (7 points difference) to identify men’s resistance to this change.Using the same question, respondents were asked to identify reasons that might explain inequalities between women and men in developing countries . 'The weight of culture and history' is also the hypothesis most frequently used. Next comes the influence of religion, which is not unrelated to the weight of culture and history. Men’s resistance to change is identified in third place, again a series of three major reasons likely to explain cultural inertia in the evolution of gender equality.The last reasons identified are related to configurable aspects, i.e. lack of laws, women’s representation in politics and access to education.Regarding the reasons for gender inequality in developing countries, women’s and men’s responses are more homogeneous, although women are also more likely to recognize the influence of religions (+5 percentage points) and men’s resistance to change (+8 points).Knowledge of issues that concern/affect women In the four countries surveyed, the vast majority of respondents declare having heard of and being aware of all these issues that concern and affect women in similar proportions, with the exception of menstrual precariousness, which is clearly less known. In Germany, 48% of respondents say they have never heard of it, 38% in the United States, while this rate of ignorance drops to 14% in France and Great Britain. Americans also have the highest proportion of respondents who say they have not heard of at least four of these issues.Among the socio-demogra

            [descriptif] => Discover Elcano and ISGlobal’s new analysis on the governance architecture of the global health system and the capacity of Spain and other actors to influence it.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => On January 30th 2023, the Real Instituto Elcano and the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), two think tanks specialized in international relations and partners of Focus 2030, published the report 'Ayuda al desarrollo e influencia en el sistema de salud global' (Development aid and influence on the global health system), which analyzes the governance architecture of the global health system and the capacity of Spain and other actors to influence it.    Through case studies of key multilateral organizations such as the COVAX mechanism for Covid-19 vaccines and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the Elcano Institute and ISGlobal study the structure and decision-making processes of these organizations. At the same time, they establish different criteria that could condition the ability of donor countries to influence the governance of these institutions. These influencing factors include the following : Structural capacities : economic size, total volume of official development assistance (ODA), financial contributions, aid conditionality, distribution of aid aligned with health priorities, national pharmaceutical R&D capacity, role of national laboratories, regulatory power, health diplomacy, identification and exploitation of donor value added, and adaptive capacity.Proactivity : ability to identify and reach relevant areas, high-level political presence, presence of national experts, conduct of specific initiatives, high-level political lobbying, participation in communication and advocacy campaigns, G7 and G20 presidencies, hosting of high-level meetings or replenishment conferencesPolitical vision : strategic vision of global health (explicit, clear, coordinated and shared national strategy, diplomatic vision beyond aid, with a multisectoral approach), and coordination of actors at national level.Partnerships : with governments, the private sector and other stakeholders.The Elcano Institute and ISGlobal report also examines Spain’s participation in the COVAX initiative and the Global Fund, and provides strategic recommendations for increasing Spain’s capacity to influence global health. In particular, the study points out that Spain is generally not sufficiently proactive on the boards of these organizations, although it considers the personal involvement of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in replenishment conferences and other international forums related to global health a positive sign.The Elcano Institute and ISGlobal also recommend that Spain align itself with multilateral organizations operating in the health field :Explore the possibility of strengthening the geographic focus of its interventions beyond Latin America ;Further leverage its extensive experience in public health ;Develop new alliances with other donors and partner countries ;Strengthen its strategic priorities in relation to multilateral health institutions ;Capitalize on its comparative advantages in global health R&D;Work actively to organize high-level summits on global health ;Improve policy coordination among the different governmental units responsible for defining global health interventions.To go further :Real Instituto Elcano – Policy Paper ‘Ayuda al Desarrollo e Influencia en el Sistema de Salud Global’

            [descriptif] => The right to abortion has seen significant advances around the world over the past several decades, but it is regularly under attack. Discover our world map of abortion legislation in 2024.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Special edition on the state of gender inequality around the world in 2025: This overview focusing on the access to contraception around the world is one of the components of a special report dedicated to gender inequalities in the world in 2025. Ensuring access to safe, quality abortion services is a prerequisite for women’s empowerment and bodily autonomy. While abortion is not clearly mentioned in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), both SDG 3 « Health and well-being » and SDG 5 « Gender equality » have targets aiming to ensure « universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services » (target 3.7) and « universal access to sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights » (target 5.6).Adopted in 2015, the SDGs are not the first international instrument mentioning sexual and reproductive health and rights : in 1994, the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) recognized the right of women to control their own fertility, including the right to choose if and when to have children. The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, adopted in 1995, also recognized women’s right to have access to safe and reliable sexual and reproductive health services.Since then, many countries have passed laws that guarantee the right to abortion. Several types of legislation exist, authorizing or not abortion following various criteria :Authorized on request (with varying gestational limits)Authorized for socio-economic circumstancesAuthorized to preserve healthProhibited except to save the woman’s lifeProhibited altogetherThe map below presents the state of legislation in the world in 2024 :  In 2023, abortion was authorized on request in 77 countries and in 12 countries for broad socio-economic reasons. However, these figures must be considered with caution : in some federal states, such as the United States, legislation varies from one administrative region to another. The vast majority of countries allow abortion up to 12 weeks of pregnancy, but this period can be longer (e.g., 24 weeks in the United Kingdom). Abortion is permitted in 47 countries for health reasons, in 43 countries to save the mother’s life, and is strictly prohibited in 22 countries.According to the Center for Reproductive Rights, 40% of women worldwide live in countries with restrictive abortion laws. These restrictions have a significant impact on women’s lives : each year, the World Health Organization estimates that 39,000 women and girls die from consequences of unsafe abortions. However, even in countries where abortion is legal, barriers may still exist, such as high costs, waiting times, parental or marital consent requirements, and social stigma.The issue of abortion remains highly political and controversial in many countries around the world. Despite certain developments, a setback in legislation has been observed in several countries around the world, notably in the United States following the reversal in 2022 of the Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court which constitutionally guaranteed this right. As the NGO Amnesty International points out, whatever the legislation in any given country, women have recourse to abortion in the same proportions: 37 out of 1,000 when the law prohibits it, 34 out of 1,000 when it authorizes it. The difference is the danger to women’s health: clandestine abortions are the third leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide.

            [descriptif] => Maternal deaths continue to be a major issue for women around the world, reflecting inadequate access to effective maternal health care, particularly in the poorest regions of the world.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Worldwide, a woman dies every 2 minutes during pregnancy or childbirth. Maternal death is defined as any death resulting from complications related to pregnancy, childbirth, occurring while the woman is pregnant or within six weeks after the end of the pregnancy. The main causes of these deaths are : severe hemorrhage, high blood pressure, pregnancy-related infections, complications of unsafe abortion, and preexisting medical conditions that may be aggravated by pregnancy (such as HIV/AIDS and malaria). The most recent report from the WHO estimated 287,000 maternal deaths in 2020, slightly lower than the 309,000 deaths in 2016.   In most regions of the world, maternal mortality rates have tended to stagnate between 2015 and 2020. They increased in two regions, North America (+17%) and Latin America/the Caribbean (+15%), and in contrast decreased in most regions of Africa and South Asia. In general, in the least developed countries, the rate decreased by about 15 percent between 2015 and 2020. Overall, the global maternal mortality ratio decreased by 34% between 2000 and 2020.     In total numbers, however, maternal deaths remain concentrated in the world’s poorest regions and countries affected by conflict : about 70 percent of all maternal deaths in 2020 occurred in sub-Saharan Africa.Chad, South Sudan, and Nigeria are the three countries with the highest mortality rates. West/Central Africa has always had the highest death rate, despite a 19 % decrease between 2000 and 2020. In 2020, however, this rate remains three times higher than the global average (724 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, compared to 223 at the global level).   The main causes of maternal deaths are underfunded primary health care, lack of skilled health providers, supply chain inefficiencies, and stock-outs of medical supplies. The latest WHO estimates indicate that one-third of the world’s women do not receive at least four of the eight recommended antenatal examinations or essential postnatal care.Target 3.1 of the Sustainable Development Goals on maternal deaths aims to reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030, while this ratio was estimated at 223 in 2020. Progress in some parts of the world shows that it can be reduced, but additional investments are needed to strengthen health systems, improve access to high-quality care, and to train health workers to prevent and treat pregnancy and childbirth complications.Without these efforts, the lives of more than one million additional women will be at risk by 2030, even though the vast majority of these deaths are preventable.

            [descriptif] => Morena Herrera, President of the Citizen Group for the Decriminilization of Abortion in El Salvador, awarded the 'Simone Veil Prize of the French Republic for equality between women and men' answered our '3 Questions to'.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] =>  Ahead of March 8, International Women Rights Day, Focus 2030 intends to provide a snapshot of women’s rights around the world and to highlight the actions of those who are mobilized on a daily basis for gender equality and, more broadly, for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Created in 2019, the Simone Veil Prize of the French Republic is awarded each year, to mark the celebrations of 8 March, to a person or group who works to further gender equality and to improve the situation for women and girls around the world. The winner of the Simone Veil Prize of the French Republic is awarded €100,000 to finance tangible action and projects.   Interview with Morena Herrera, President of the Citizen Group for the Decriminalization of Abortion in El Salvador (Agrupación Ciudadana por la Despenalización del Aborto en El Salvador), winner of the 'Simone Veil Prize of the French Republic for Gender Equality' Focus 2030 : Like six other countries in South America and the Caribbean, abortion has been illegal in El Salvador since 1998. The practice is punishable by heavy prison sentences for women who perform abortions and for health care professionals, which has led to the imprisonment of many women. Your organization, the Citizen Group for the Decriminalization of Abortion, works for the release of women imprisoned for having or attempting to have an abortion. Since 2009, you have secured the release of 67 women and are working to raise awareness about sexual and reproductive health. Can you tell us more about your work, including related to the 'The 17' campaign ? Morena Herrera : In El Salvador, since 1974, the Penal Code, although considering abortion a crime, provided some exceptions in case of therapeutic abortion, eugenics, or if the pregnancy is the result of a rape, which, although with limitations of access, allowed women to interrupt their pregnancy and medical staff to perform it. However, in 1997, as part of the Peace Accords, the Penal Code was reformed. The Commission that drafted the amendments proposed only a few adjustments on the issue of abortion in order to facilitate its authorization. However, conservative circles, under pressure from the Catholic Church hierarchy, suggested the absolute criminalization of abortion : this proposal was approved, despite the opposition of many feminists, making El Salvador one of the eight countries in the world where abortion is absolutely criminalized, even when the life of the pregnant woman is in danger.This is a violation of the principle of non-regression of a right already guaranteed to women and health workers.The law also considered a new Article 136, called 'inducing or assisting abortion', with prison sentences of 2 to 5 years and without clearly delimiting the actions concerned. In addition to this threat, a circular from the Attorney General’s office was sent to all hospitals in the country urging medical staff to report any woman who came to the hospital suspected of having undergone an abortion, threatening that they would be considered accomplices if they did not. All this created an atmosphere of fear and misconception about the implementation of the new legislation.In 2006, an investigative report in the New York Times revealed the interview in El Salvador of Karina, a woman serving a 30-year sentence for abortion. This news came as a wake-up call that made some of us become aware of the impact of this legislation. After obtaining and studying the case file, we were able to understand why she had been sentenced to 30 years when the maximum sentence for abortion was 8 years in prison. Karina, despite having undergone sterilization at the Salvadoran Social Security Institute (ISSS), became pregnant without knowing it, gave birth prematurely and the baby died. At the ISSS hospital where she was admitted, she was reported to the authorities, accused of having had an abortion. The prosecution found that the pregnancy was at an advanced stage and therefore could not legally be considered an abortion, which, according to the Salvadoran Ministry of Health and the WHO, can take place up to 22 months of pregnancy. Rather than rectify the situation and consider it an obstetric emergency, i.e. a health problem, they changed the qualification of the crime and accused her of having murdered the child, sentencing her to 30 years for for aggravated homicide of a blood relative. This was the beginning of the legal defense of women convicted as a result of the law criminalizing abortion. It was very difficult to define a strategy, as lawyers and human rights organizations were telling us that 'the case was closed and nothing more could be done', but in the end, thanks to a reconsideration of the conviction, a legal procedure rarely used because due to its difficulty, Karina was acquitted and released in 2009.Karina’s release, although it took us three years to obtain it, gave us a glimpse of our ability to fight such an unfair law and its consequences. It gave us a lot of strength. When Karina got out of prison, she told us : 'I am not the only one, there are other women convicted for similar reasons, but they are afraid to speak up'. So we started investigating in all the courts in the country, until we managed to identify how many women had been prosecuted and how many had been convicted of aggravated homicide against their own children. We looked for them in the prisons, started talking to them, collecting their stories and found out that in most cases they had suffered obstetric emergencies. They were all women living in poverty, with little schooling and from marginalized communities. We began to study each case in order to have their convictions re-examined, but although we succeeded in some cases, this required effort and resources that we did not have. Consequently, we decided to prioritize that their freedom be achieved through the request for a pardon, presented individually, albeit in a joint procedure, before the Legislative Assembly in April 2014.Seventeen women met the necessary requirements to apply for a pardon at that time. That’s how the name 'The 17' was born, because we wanted them to be the subject of the request, we wanted to give them a name, a face, to show who they were, what their lives were, their dreams, and that’s why we organised this campaign that lasted for 7 years with the campaign slogan 'Freedom for the 17, let’s not let their lives wither', symbolizing this group of women with a 17-petal flower.Throughout these years, it has been necessary to find new legal and penal strategies to obtain their freedom : to explain their cases to the officials of the penal system and the Ministry of Justice, arranging collaborations to provide them with some support inside the prison, working with their families, encouraging them to support each other in prison, celebrate the freedom of each one of them, inform the media, contributing to change the vision that society has of these women.On 9 June 2022, we celebrated in Cuscatlán Park the fact that not only had 'the 17' been freed, but also because we had secured the release of 65 women who had been prosecuted and convicted under this legislation that criminalizes abortion.The defence of these women was a central process. International litigation before the Inter-American Human Rights System has also been very important, with the case of Manuela and her family being the subject of an important resolution by the Court in November 2021, the terms of which are being progressively implemented by the State of El Salvador. Manuela was criminalized for an obstetric emergency, sentenced to 30 years in prison, and died in prison due to a cancer she suffered from that was not properly treated.The next scheduled case in the Inter-American Human Rights System is ’Beatriz v El Salvador’ : the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has convened a hearing on March 22 and 23, 2023. The resolution could be of great importance to Beatriz’s family and also to advance Salvadoran legislation with greater recognition of women’s rights. Beatriz, aged 22, was refused the interruption of her pregnancy, even though 15 specialists from the National Central Maternity Hospital recommended it, because she suffered from lupus with kidney damage and was carrying a foetus with anencephaly (no brain) and no vital viability outside the womb. She had to wait 81 days in great pain. Be

            [text] =>  On the occasion of International Women’s Rights Day, the Development Engagement Lab unveils the results of a comparative survey conducted by Yougov between February 20 and March 1st 2023 in Germany, France, the UK and the US. Insights from language-testingThere is no penalty from the public for including ‘addressing gender inequality’ in a list of aid policy priorities (‘Global health, climate and poverty reduction’ (vs. ‘Global health, climate and poverty reduction and addressing gender inequality) in terms of public support. Regardless of the inclusion of ‘gender,’ support for maintaining or increasing the aid budget when ‘addressing gender inequality’ is included ranges from 51% (Great Britain) to 71% (Germany).There is a penalty in Great Britain, Germany and the U.S. (not France) for attaching the word ‘feminist’ or ‘gender-inclusive’ to development policy, as in ‘Feminist Development Policy.’ This is compared to simply ‘Inclusive Development Policy’ or ‘Development Policy.’ When ‘feminist’ or ‘gender inclusive’ is attached, support for the policy drops by between 7- 15% in Great Britain, Germany and the United States, with no penalty in France.There is an even further penalty for not explaining gender-focused development policy : Drops in support for the policy range from 14% in France to 30% in Germany when there is no explanation offered with mentions of Feminist Development Policy or Gender-inclusive Development Policy. The lesson : Always explain the policy to the public.Still, it’s important to note that both a ‘Feminist Development Policy’ and ‘Gender-inclusive development policy’ capture majority support in all countries, with support at 55-60% when the policies are accompanied by an explanation.Almost 1 In 3 members of the public in Germany, Great Britain, France and the United States consider gender equality a voting issue, ranking it in the top two of actions they would be willing to take to encourage government to take action toward addressing gender inequality.Insights on public support for gender and women & girls1 in 2 people in Germany, France, Great Britain and the U.S. consider ending gender discrimination necessary to ending global poverty, and an even higher proportion (from 54% support in the U.S. to 75% support in France) believe ‘tackling gender inequality is morally the right thing to do.’Asked to identify the issues faced by women and girls, the public in Germany, Great Britain, France and the U.S. all identify sexual harassment, child marriage and female genital mutilation both as the issues they’re most aware of and believe should be addressed.Asked how to improve the lives of women and girls, the public in all four countries say education, followed by health and family planning. When asked about how to improve ‘gender equality’ (instead of ‘improving the lives of women and girls’), all choose education again, with a range of issues in second place including health, water, agriculture and others.Asked what action they would be willing to take to encourage their governments to tackle gender inequality in developing countries, the publics in Germany, France, Great Britain and the U.S. all put the following in the top three : ‘Sign a petition,’ ‘Vote for a candidate who supports gender equality,’ and ‘Boycott companies whose practices make gender inequality worse.’The majority of the public in Germany, Great Britain, France and the United States blame religion and the roles of culture and history as the main barriers to gender equality in developing countries ; followed closely by ‘men’s resistance to change’. When asked about barriers in their own countries, Germany, France, Great Britain and the U.S. said culture and history first, then men’s resistance, though France also blamed a lack of laws that guarantee equality.Press release : survey on the occasion of international women’s rights day

            [chapo] => 
            [text] =>  On International Women’s Day, more than half the public believe ending discrimination against women and girls is necessary to ending global poverty.LONDON, United Kingdom – In nationally representative surveys conducted by YouGov in Great Britain, France, Germany and the United States, the Development Engagement Lab (DEL) have found that people in all four countries believe that in order to end global poverty, the global community must end widespread discrimination against women and girls.‘We gave respondents a number of statements around gender and gender equality and asked the extent to which they agree or disagree,’ said Jennifer Hudson, co-director of the Development Engagement Lab. ‘Over half of American respondents (51%) and nearly 6 in 10 in France (59%) think ending discrimination against women and girls is necessary to ending global poverty. In Germany and in Great Britain, 53% agree with the view’.Hudson added that only one other statement proved more popular among the public : ‘Tackling gender inequality is morally the right thing to do, for which agreement ranges from 75% in France to 54% in the United States.’  ‘We were frankly surprised to see the strength of the public’s agreement that gender equality is necessary to ending poverty,’ said Paolo Morini, Senior Research Fellow at DEL. ‘Together with our other findings, it’s a powerful message from the public that gender equality isn’t just complimentary to reducing poverty. It’s essential.’An issue worth voting onIn another finding that surprised researchers, almost 1 in 3 in Germany, France, Great Britain and the U.S. are willing to ‘Vote in an election for a candidate who supports gender equality,’ in order to encourage the government to take action.‘We gave respondents a range of options, including “Sign a petition,” “Boycott companies whose practices make gender inequality worse,” “Contact my MP” and “Donate,” among others,’ said Soomin Oh, Research Fellow at DEL.‘The most popular option was “Sign a petition” in Germany, France and Great Britain, but in all four countries “Voting” makes the top two, which surprised us,’ Oh said.What do the public want ?The public’s enthusiasm for putting gender front and centre also extends to their views of government action : Between 40% (U.S.) and 53% (France) of the public believe the government should do either ‘a bit more’ or ‘a lot more’ to address gender inequality, both at home and abroad. By comparison, between 10% (France) and 27% (U.S.) think the government is already doing either a bit or far too much. On average, less than 1 in 4 believe the government is doing ‘the right amount.’There is notable consensus from the public calling on the government to take action, both at home and abroad,’ Hudson added. ‘This is also true for the kinds of intervention they want to see from the government.’Asked what actions they want their governments to take to reduce gender inequality faced by women and girls in developing countries, the publics in Great Britain, Germany, Great Britain and the U.S. agree across the board : Offered a number of interventions, 41% to 54% believe governments should ‘Increase education and training for women and girls to effectively participate in policy making.’In a close second, publics in all four countries agree that governments should strive to ‘Tackle cultural, political and religious barriers,’ with ‘Raising public awareness about the challenges faced by women and girls in developing countries’ a close third for Germany, Great Britain. The French public, by contrast, would like to see changes within their own aid institutions, asking the government to ‘Increase the number and representation of women in government organisations that provide overseas aid.’ AVAILABLE FOR INTERVIEW : Jennifer Hudson, Director and Co-founder of the Development Engagement Lab, Professor of Political Behaviour at University College London and co-author of the report.

            [text] => Special edition on the state of gender inequality around the world in 2025: This overview focusing on the access to contraception around the world is one of the components of a special report dedicated to gender inequalities in the world in 2025. Celebrated on February 6, the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, is an opportunity to remind ourselves that 230 million girls and women in the world today have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM). Most often performed during childhood between the ages of 0 and 15, FGM refers to all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons.While cases of FGM are reported all over the world, the practice is thoroughly documented in 31 countries, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, but also in the Middle East (notably in Yemen and Iraq) and in some Asian countries such as Indonesia. In nine countries, more than three out of four women and girls have undergone FGM : Somalia, Guinea, Djibouti, Mali, Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Sierra Leone and Burkina Faso.Context and figuresThe partial or total removal of the clitoral glans (FGM type I) and female circumcision (type II) are the two most frequently practiced types of FGM.Beyond the mutilation itself, which is rarely performed under anesthesia, FGM has serious repercussions on mental and sexual and reproductive health of girls and women. Depending on the type of practice, the hygiene conditions or the expertise of the person performing the operation, complications can arise that can lead to death or increase the risk of HIV transmission.FGM is generally performed by traditional birth attendants or elders in their communities. Several surveys report the increasing involvement of health professionals in the practice, giving FGM an appearance of legitimacy and absence of health risks. According to recent estimates by UNFPA - the UN agency focused on sexual and reproductive health - of all women aged 15-49 who have undergone FGM, approximately one in four FGM has been performed by health workers. This is the case for more than one-third of Egyptian women and two-thirds of Sudanese women.How many girls and women are affected ?While 230 million girls and women in the world today are estimated to have undergone FGM, the practice of FGM has declined over the past three decades. In the 31 countries with nationally representative prevalence data, today about one in three girls have undergone the practice compared to one in two in the 1990s. However, despite a general decline, not all countries have made progress. In 2024, 4.4 million girls are expected to undergo FGM and the number of girls at risk is projected to rise to 4.6 million in 2030.Today, most countries have banned the practice. FGM is a violation of the fundamental rights of girls and women, and is condemned by several international conventions and treaties, such as the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, and the Maputo Protocol, ratified by 42 African countries.Despite UN summonses to ban the practice everywhere, some countries, such as Mali and Indonesia, have still not passed legislation on the subject. The majority (80%) of countries where FGM is part of local custom have banned the practice. For some of them, the ban is not always respected: this is notably the case in Senegal, where almost 24% of girls aged between 15 and 19 have been victims of FGM, despite the fact that it has been banned in the country since 1999.Across all countries for which data is available, the majority of girls and women declare that the practice should be stopped, but wide variations persist: almost all Tanzanian women (98%) consider that FGM should be stopped, while less than one in five Malian women (17%) believe that the practice should be stopped. A correlation exists between the practice of FGM and its social acceptance: in countries where it is more widespread, fewer women declare that the practice should cease. Needs and mobilization of the international communityIn 2008, UNFPA and UNICEF established the Joint Programme on the Elimination of Female Genital Mutilation, the largest global programme to accelerate the elimination of the practice and address its consequences. It works at the community, national, regional and global levels to raise awareness of the effects of FGM.UNFPA estimates that \$275 million will be spent on combating FGM by 2030, while \$2.4 billion is needed to reach the zero genital mutilation goal in the 31 priority countries. France’s commitmentsIn 2022, France called on the international community to intensify efforts to end this practice and announced an increased financial support of 300,000 euros compared to 2021 as part of the National Action Plan against Female Genital Mutilation launched in 2019.France also supports civil society actors and funds including :The French Muskoka Fund and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which are committed to the eradication of FGM The Global Survivors Fund for survivors of conflict-related sexual violence, founded by Nobel Peace Prize laureates Nadia Murad and Denis Mukwege, with a budget of 6.2 million euros between 2020 and 2022The Panzi Foundation and Hospital (Democratic Republic of the Congo) where Dr. Mukwege works.

            [text] => Women have historically been marginalized and discriminated against in many areas, such as education, employment, health and political life. Today, many inequalities remain and no country in the world can claim to have achieved perfect gender equality in all areas. For several decades now, international organizations have been addressing the promotion of women’s rights, symbolized by the creation of UN Women in 2010, which has become the United Nations body specifically dedicated to achieving gender equality. The Sustainable Development Goals also recognize this issue through SDG n°5.Many international and regional instruments (conventions, declarations, treaties) aim to protect and promote women’s rights. Most of these texts are not legally binding, meaning that states are not bound to respect them. Nevertheless, they are essential to strengthen the responsibility of governments to protect and promote women’s rights. They provide standards and guidelines for governments to ensure that women fully enjoy their rights and are protected from gender-based discrimination and violence. In addition, they are regularly re-appropriated by women’s rights activists to promote more egalitarian laws.The map below is a visual representation of the countries that are signatories to various international and regional texts in defense of women’s rights (non-exhaustive list) : The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is an international treaty adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly. As the primary international legal instrument for the promotion and protection of women’s rights, the Convention recognizes gender equality and prohibits discrimination against women in all spheres, including the private and public spheres. To date, 189 states have ratified CEDAW.The Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women (1994), or 'Convention of Belém do Pará' is an international treaty adopted in 1994 by the member states of the Organization of American States (OAS) to combat violence against women. Considered a legally binding instrument, it has been ratified by most OAS member states (with the exception of the United States, which have neither signed nor ratified it) and has become a core component of the regional commitment to combat violence against women in the Americas. The Convention sets international standards for the prevention, punishment and elimination of violence against women. It defines violence against women as 'any act or conduct, based on gender, that results in death or physical, sexual or psychological harm to women, whether occurring in public or private life'.The Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa or 'Maputo Protocol' is an additional protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa. Adopted in 2003 by the African Union, it aims to protect women from discrimination and violence, ensure their participation in political life and promote their economic empowerment. To date, 43 African states have signed the protocol and 41 have ratified it. The two states that have not yet ratified are Sudan and Somalia.The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Region is a political declaration made in June 2004 in Jakarta and signed by the ten ASEAN member countries. This declaration reaffirms the commitment of the ten signatory countries to eliminate violence against women, in line with CEDAW and the 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, through further regional and bilateral cooperation.The Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence or 'Istanbul Convention' is an international treaty signed in 2011 by the member states of the Council of Europe to prevent and combat violence against women and domestic violence. Forty-seven states have signed the Convention and 38 have ratified it. These 38 states include all the member states of the European Union, as well as several other European and non-European countries. The Istanbul Convention defines violence against women as a violation of human rights and a form of discrimination against women. It obliges signatory states to put in place coherent and effective legislation and policies to prevent and combat violence, prosecute perpetrators, protect and support victims, and strengthen international cooperation.The International Labor Organization Convention No. 190 on Violence and Harassment is an international convention adopted in June 2019, aimed at eliminating violence and harassment at work. This convention recognizes that violence and harassment can affect all workers, both men and women, and can take many forms, such as physical violence, sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, psychological harassment, etc. It sets out principles and measures to prevent, eliminate and combat workplace violence and harassment, including the establishment of national legislation and policies, the promotion of a culture of zero tolerance, awareness-raising and training for workers and employers, protection of victims and the use of appropriate sanctions. To date, ILO Convention 190 has been ratified by 47 countries (and entered into force in 36 countries). Check this link to discover Focus 2030 women’s rights special edition.

            [descriptif] => President and CEO of Women Deliver, Dr. Maliha Khan answers our 3 questions on gender equality in the world.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Ahead of March 8, International Women Rights Day, Focus 2030 intends to provide a snapshot of women’s rights around the world and to highlight the actions of those who are mobilized on a daily basis for gender equality and, more broadly, for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).   Interview with Dr. Maliha Khan, President and CEO of Women Deliver Focus 2030 : You were appointed president and CEO in the summer of 2022, after being in leadership for one of the biggest advocacy organizations for girls’ education. In your view, what are major setback to progress on gender equality, and what’s one of the top actions that we can take to address the multiple crises the world is facing ? Dr. Maliha Khan : The world has gone through a few really difficult years. People, including the world’s most vulnerable girls and women, are experiencing the catastrophic impacts multiple crises, including the pandemic, climate crises, war, and food insecurity. In parallel, anti-gender movements—set on controlling girls’ and women’s bodies, agency, and lives—are gaining ground in countries all over the world. In my home country, Pakistan, last year’s unprecedented climate crises fueled flooding set back progress on girls’ and women’s health and rights by a decade or more. Today, millions still lack access to the full suite of sexual and reproductive health services and rights, and are paying one of the highest possible prices, their health, because of a disaster that they didn’t cause. In neighboring Afghanistan, since the Taliban took control in 2021, girls and women have essentially been erased from public life and stripped of their rights.In a few words : injustice is rife, and progress on gender equality is fragile. But this shouldn’t come as news to any of us.Growing up, I witnessed first-hand what it looks like when girls and women are denied health care and bodily autonomy, education, economic opportunity, and a healthy environment. These denials have irreversible, long-term impacts that keep adolescent girls from realizing their full potential, impacting the rest of their lives, and, looking at the bigger picture, delaying the achievement of gender equality in communities and countries around the world. Still, I’m hopeful that feminists and feminist movements can and will turn the tide to overcome the many setbacks and challenges that exist on the road to a gender-equal world. It goes without saying that adolescent girls and women are experts in their own lives. With the right tools and resources, adolescent girls can and do take the lead on advancing gender equality—both for themselves and for their communities. While there’s no catch all solution to addressing the multiple, compounding challenges that the world is currently facing, securing the bodily autonomy of adolescent girls, and thus their future, is a good place to start. Making sure that adolescent girls have what they need to chart their own path and live up to their capabilities is one of the most impactful ways of responding to and withstanding setbacks to gender equality. The global feminist movement holds immense power to lead on this mission by shifting autonomy and decision-making into the hands of adolescent girls and women themselves, and by setting new agendas that address not just the symptoms, but also the root causes of gender inequality. Focus 2030 : The Women Deliver Conference 2023 (WD2023) will take place from July 17 to 20, 2023 in Kigali, Rwanda under the theme « Spaces, Solidarity, and Solutions ». What can we expect from this conference, what is new compared to the previous Women Deliver Conferences ? Dr. Maliha Khan : My hope is that the Women Deliver 2023 Conference (WD2023) builds the solidarity we need for the road ahead and reminds us all of our collective power to drive progress. After several challenging years for girls and women, for gender equality advocates, and for the world at large, WD2023 is an incredibly important moment for feminists and the global feminist movement to come together to demand real, lasting change. It’s no secret that many norms, laws, and policies—in communities and countries around the world—are in need of reform. Some need to be scrapped altogether and are standing in the way of a just, gender-equal future.Taking the time to learn from one another, act in close coordination, and shift power to marginalized and vulnerable populations—particularly adolescent girls—is vital to identifying what isn’t working and taking immediate action to change it.Since 2007, Women Deliver has brought together hundreds of thousands of advocates from countries around the world for five Conferences. For WD2023, in line with our firm belief in the impact of collective action, we have doubled, even tripled, our efforts to ensure that this is the most inclusive, accessible, and diverse Conference to date.WD2023 has been co-created, together with the WD2023 Advisory Group, Youth Planning Committee, and input of over 4,000 people who participated in our Global Community Consultation. Part of this has also meant not waiting for July, when thousands will gather in person in Kigali, and online around the world, to get to work. In February, we kicked off the WD2023 Global Dialogue, which is supported by Regional Convening Partners in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, Southern Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Region. The Global Dialogue provides an interactive space for advocates to come together during partner-run in-person, virtual, and hybrid events to begin discussing and taking action to address the gender equality issues that matter most to them in the lead up to the Conference.As the first Women Deliver Conference held in Africa, WD2023 will support ongoing efforts across the continent around gender equality to secure equal access to power, dignity, health, justice, and rights. The Conference will create spaces for girls and women from the continent, and for feminists from around the world to network, develop skills, share knowledge, access funding opportunities, advocate directly to decision-makers, and participate in conversations that contribute to global agenda setting on gender equality. Focus 2030 : Women Deliver is a leading advocate for gender equality and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), including for the integration of SRHR in universal health coverage (UHC). Can you tell us why sexual reproductive health services must be included in UHC and why SRHR is often overlooked and underfunded ? A high-level meeting on UHC will take place on the sidelines of this year’s UN general Assembly. How can we ensure SRHR will be integrated at the top of the agenda ? Dr. Maliha Khan : Women Deliver unequivocally champions the need to achieve the full range of sexual and reproductive health and rights for all people, everywhere. There is mounting evidence that ensuring SRHR advances a person’s economic and social prospects, and advances gender equality. All people need sexual and reproductive (SRH) services and have different and changing SRH needs throughout their lives. Addressing these needs—from birth to old age—is crucial to achieving both universal health coverage (UHC) and gender equality.For example, access to modern contraception and safe abortion, particularly for adolescent girls in their most formative years, reduces early pregnancy, saves lives, and enables young people to chart the path they want to take at school and in life. Comprehensive sexuality education supports informed decision-making, knowledge of sexually transmitted infections, and healthy relationships—all of which are key to reducing sexual and gender-based violence.Still, SRH services remain overlooked and underfunded in many national health strategies and health benefits packages owing to a wide range of factors, including supply chain issues, a lack of resources or political will, deprioritization, and the dangerous idea that SRHR are a threat, rather than essential

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Ahead of March 8, International Women’s Rights Day, Focus 2030 aims to provide a snapshot of women’s rights around the world and to highlight the actions of those who are mobilized on a daily basis for gender equality and, more broadly, for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).   Interview with Jenny Hedman, Policy Analyst Gender Equality and Co-ordinator of the DAC GenderNet at the OECD Focus 2030 : You are the coordinator of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) GenderNet, a network of gender equality experts from international development cooperation agencies aiming to improve gender equality and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals through development policies. A gender equality policy marker was put in place by the DAC in the mid-90s, and although some countries have increased the share of aid for the promotion of women’s rights, the OECD average remains stable at 44% in 2020-2021. From your perspective, why is the situation progressing at such a slow pace and how can we encourage member states to increase their funding for gender equality ? Jenny Hedman : This is indeed THE question, which also forms the basis for much of our work. This year we are observing that the share of aid with gender equality objectives is even decreasing a little bit for the first time in a long time. We hope that this is just a temporary dip, but will be exploring together with GenderNet members why this may be. Overall, I think that there are several reasons why members’ focus on gender equality in ODA programming is increasing or not, of which political leadership for gender equality is very important. We see very high shares of ODA for gender equality from the members that have had clear and sustained political support for gender equality over a longer period. Other members with more recent political focus seem to be starting to increase their shares of ODA for gender equality. That said, in order to strengthen support for gender equality and women’s empowerment the entire system needs to be in place, with policies, strategies, expertise, human resources... This is why we developed the Guidance for the development partners on Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women and Girls together with GenderNet members. The Guidance identifies good practice when it comes to being a development partner wanting to work towards gender equality, providing examples and check lists for everything from preparing policies and strategies and designing programmes, to monitoring and evaluation, and making sure that your own house is in order – looking at to what extent the development institution’s own human resource policies for instance are gender responsive. We identified the essential elements that should ideally be in place in a development institution to raise the shares of aid with gender equality objectives and contribute to positive outcomes – which of course remains the end goal. Beyond that, I think the peer learning and exchange that we do in the GenderNet is helpful. There is a wealth of experience within the network and almost always someone who is doing very well in a specific area, that others can learn from and replicate. And last but not least there is the peer pressure amongst members : we publish data on ODA for gender equality every year and of course most members prefer to be top of the class !  Focus 2030 : What are Member States’ top funding priorities for gender equality, and conversely, what sectors or issues seem to be underfunded ? Jenny Hedman : If we look at bilateral ODA dedicated to gender equality as the main objective, much of this is allocated to reproductive and maternal health, and in the governance area to programmes supporting women’s political participation or law enforcement reforms. Some also goes to ending violence against women and girls, and support for local women’s rights organisations and movements. These are all essential areas for gender equality and it is positive that members are providing funding for this, but one also needs to keep in mind that we are only talking about USD 5.7 billion on average per year in total, globally. This corresponds to 4% of the total ODA examined against the DAC gender equality policy marker – a share that has not budged over the years and that even decreased from last year. Looking at the programmes in different sectors that integrate gender equality as one of other policy objectives, the areas with the highest shares of ODA with gender equality as an objective are social infrastructure and services such as social protection and employment policies, as well as agriculture and rural development, and education. In these sectors, 65-70% of ODA integrates gender equality objectives. On the other hand, the focus on gender equality is very low in humanitarian aid and in the energy sector. These two sectors are consistently the 'low performers' and I think we can do more as a community to increase the focus on gender equality here. Even if a project or programme does not focus on gender equality specifically, it is important to at least ensure that it will not have negative impacts on gender equality. Focus 2030 : One of the GenderNet’s focus area of work is gender equality in fragile and conflict-affected situations, a topic that resonates particularly in today’s world affected by multiple and interlinked crises. Can you tell us more about this work ? Jenny Hedman : Gender inequality and fragility are inter-connected. We know that more could be done to take gender-responsive approaches to humanitarian crises and to support fragile environments. One of the strengths of the GenderNet is that we can bring together gender equality experts with other policy communities. For several years now, we have been working with the International Network on Conflict and Fragility (INCAF), facilitating peer learning across these actors and preparing policy advice. Most recently, the OECD States of Fragility report promoted lessons learned. In addition to this, we engage with the Generation Equality Forum Compact on Women, Peace and Security, mainly to support the accountability process and provide data on financing for this area. We are also working with members to implement the DAC Recommendation on Ending Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment in Development Co-operation and Humanitarian Assistance. This is an important tool to ensure that development partners 'do no harm' for gender equality in general, and in particular in fragile contexts where women and girls are often placed in vulnerable situations.  Check this link to discover Focus 2030 women’s rights Edition.  The opinions expressed in this interview are those of the interviewee and do not necessarily reflect the positions of Focus 2030.

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Special edition on the state of gender inequality around the world in 2025: This overview focusing on the access to contraception around the world is one of the components of a special report dedicated to gender inequalities in the world in 2025. On the occasion of the Generation Equality Forum, held in 2021 in Mexico and France, Focus 2030 has brought together key data on each of the six Action Coalitions of the Forum: Gender-Based Violence; Economic Justice and Rights; Bodily Autonomy and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR); Feminist Action for Climate Justice; Technology and Innovation for Gender Equality; and Feminist Movements and Leadership. Two sections, on gender disparities in education and financing for gender equality, complete this overview. The data presented in this article was updated in February 2024. For more recent information, please refer directly to the original source.                   Cross-sectional resources  Focus 2030 and Women Deliver conducted a 17-country survey to measure the level of public support for gender equality, the actions people want their governments to take on each of the six Action Coalitions, and the gendered impact of the Covid-19 pandemic: 80% of respondents say that gender equality is an important issue to them personally. More women than men reported experiencing emotional stress and increased household chores during the Covid-19 pandemic. Overall, to advance gender equality, ending gender-based violence is the top priority. The World Bank publishes a series of sex-disaggregated and gender indicators on agriculture, education, health, social development, and poverty. The World Bank Development Indicators also contain a Gender Data Portal: In 1975, 70% of girls and young women aged between 15 and 24 were literate (compared to 84% of boys and young men). This rose to 79% in 1990 (87% for boys and young men) and to 93% in 2023 (94% for boys and young men). In 2023, 26% of women and 26% of men in paid employment worked in agriculture. In 2023, 2,3% of employed women and 5% of men were company managers. 2% of employed women and 4% of men were company managers. 33% of businesses are owned by women in the world. In 2023, 53% of people over 15 living with HIV were women, a proportion which has been constantly growing since 1990 when 48% of people living with HIV were female. Birthrates for adolescent girls aged 15-19 have fallen from 74 births per 1000 girls in 1990 to 39 per 1000 in 2022.  Equal Measures 2030 calculates in the SDG Gender Index the gender equality scores of 139 countries in relation to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals: The 2024 edition estimates that more than 2,4 billion girls and women lived in countries with 'poor' or 'very poor' gender equality scores. At the current rate, the world will reach an overall gender equality score of 68,9 out of 100 in 2030: the Sustainable Development Goals will therefore not be met. To date, none of the 139 countries in the Index has achieved gender equality.  The report World’s Women 2020: Trends and Statistics provides numerous statistics structured around the themes of family, health, education, economic sphere, decision making, and violence. The files have been updated with 2021 data on this portal. The OECD 2023 Social Institutions and Gender Index project provides data and country factsheets analysing the level of discrimination in laws, social norms and practices in 179 countries, across a variety of different themes: child marriage, inheritance, unpaid domestic or healthcare work, domestic violence, reproductive health rights, access to property rights, land and non-land assets,  the right to work, participate in politics, or access to justice). 16% of women worldwide live in countries where domestic violence is not criminalized. 13% of girls worldwide are married before the age of 18. Women make up only 27% of members of parliaments worldwide.  The United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Gender Social Norms Index, based on responses to seven survey questions in 80 countries, provides information on prejudice against women in four areas: political, educational, economic and physical integration. Its 2023 edition reveals no improvement in a decade, with nearly nine out of ten people worldwide still harboring sexist prejudices. The World Economic Forum publishes the annual Global Gender Gap Report, which examines evolutions in gender gaps in four areas: economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival, and political power. In 2024, the World Economic Forum estimates that it will take 134 years to close the global gender gap. In 2020, it estimated that it would take 99.5 years: the Covid-19 pandemic has pushed back the achievement of parity by another generation. «  The landscape of gender data. Mapping players and initiatives by theme  » presents an overview of gender data players, initiatives, and challenges across the world. UN Women and UNDESA publish the annual Gender Snapshot, a report that compiles gender equality data related to each of the Sustainable Development Goals. The 2024 edition estimates that at the current rate, 158 million women and girls will still live in extreme poverty by 2030. The book Equality within Our Lifetimes (2023) published by the World Policy Center analyzes solutions and progress on girls’ education, employment discrimination, sexual harassment, and women’s gender care needs in 193 countries. Nearly three-quarters of the world’s countries have laws specifically prohibiting sexual harassment in the workplace. Nevertheless, more than a quarter (28%) of countries that prohibit gender discrimination in the workplace do not guarantee protection from retaliation for reporting. Nearly one in five countries offer women from marginalized racial or ethnic groups no protection from at least one common form of workplace discrimination. Less than half of the world’s countries (46%) explicitly address gender discrimination as well as discrimination based on citizenship. The Our World in Data website presents a wide range of indicators on women’s rights around the world in the form of interactive maps and graphs.

            [descriptif] => Discover the results of our survey about the solidarity movements towards Ukrainian refugees in France.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => In partnership with University College London (UCL) and the University of Birmingham, Focus 2030 is conducting an action-research program to analyze citizens’ opinions, attitudes, knowledge and feelings on issues related to international solidarity. This program covers four countries : France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.This project called the 'Development Engagement Lab' (DEL) provides data to development actors (NGOs, foundations, think tanks, ministries, public institutions, international organizations) to help them better understand citizens’ expectations and increase the effectiveness of their communication, mobilization and advocacy activities. This Focus 2030-DEL survey was conducted by the YouGov Institute from June 7 to June 15, 2022, among a representative sample of the adult population of 2,070 people. Margin of error +/- 2%. On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, signaling the return of war to the European continent. Since then, the war has taken a prominent place in the media, in political decisions, and affected the world’s economy and the daily lives of French people in a very concrete way. More than other international crises, the reality and consequences of this war are in some ways particularly tangible for the French.Proof of this is the unprecedented solidarity movements that spontaneously took place all over France.Carried out in this context, this opinion survey (conducted between June 7 and 15, 2022 - 2,070 adults representative of the French population) questioned the actions that French people have taken or would be willing to take to 'help refugees fleeing the conflict in Ukraine”.31% of French people declared they have made a donation of either money or everyday goods, an expression of concrete generosity that outweighs the other actions identified in the survey. A quarter of the respondents acknowledge that they have not yet given anything but could do so.   According to the survey, men are as likely as women to report having donated to Ukrainian refugees.However,  the proportion of people who have made a donation appears to be correlated with a higher-than-average level of education, annual income and age (55 years and over).9% of French people declare having organized the collection of donations, an action that shows a high level of personal commitment, which is less prevalent among older respondents and respondent who stated they voted for Marine Le Pen in the 2022 French presidential election.Both Women and people with a higher-than-average level of education are more likely to have interacted (commented, read, shared an article) about Ukrainian refugees on social media.Lastly, 3% of French people declare having shown hospitality to refugees arriving in France (in one way or another). A significant proportion that deserves to be explored further in order to understand the reality and the concrete expressions of this commitment to international solidarity. These data come from our survey conducted by the YouGov Institute and piloted by the University College London and University of Birmingham research team as part of the Development Engagement Lab project.

            [descriptif] => On average, 10% of French people claim to know what the 'Sustainable Development Goals' are.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => In partnership with University College London (UCL) and the University of Birmingham, Focus 2030 is conducting an action-research program to analyze citizens’ perceptions, attitudes, behaviors and feelings on issues related to international solidarity in four countries: France, Germany, the United States and the UK.  Entitled Development Engagement Lab (DEL), this project provides data to development actors (NGOs, foundations, think tanks, ministries, public institutions, international organizations) to help them better understand citizens’ expectations and increase the effectiveness of their communication, mobilization and advocacy activities. Three times a year, the DEL project measures the evolution of knowledge of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).10% of French people declare they know what the 'United Nations Sustainable Development Goals' are, compared to 53% who do not know (combined 'no' and 'I don’t know' responses).These proportions have remained relatively stable since 2019.When reference to the 'United Nations' is not specified in the title, this rate of 'knowledge' amounted to 17%. This reveals the bias induced by the wording, and by extension, in the communication around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is likely that the SDGs are often associated, in France, with everything related to sustainable development in its strict environmental dimension. The 2030 Agenda and its 17 SDGs adopted by the United Nations in 2015 are much less well known.37% of French people declare they know about the Sustainable Development Goals without 'really knowing what they are about', while 48% are certain they do not know what the SDGs refer to or are unable to answer this question (5%).French people between the ages of 18 and 34 are much more likely than their elders to claim to know about the SDGs (+10 percentage points compared to the average respondent).The level of education is the most discriminating variable in terms of French people’s knowledge of the Sustainable Development Goals. The more educated people are, the more likely they are to declare that they know the SDGs. Thus, 7% of French people who do not have a high school diploma say they know what the Sustainable Development Goals are, compared to 23% of respondents with at least 5 years of higher education, a difference of 16 percentage points.Whatever the level of understanding of what the SDGs really are, when we add up all those who answer 'yes I know', we observe that the percentage of those who know about the SDGs also seems to be correlated with political orientation. Those who lean towards the center of the political spectrum are the most likely to declare that they know about the SDGs (know what they are / don’t really know what they are), with +8 points compared to left-wing sympathizers and +14 points compared to right-wing sympathizers. On the other hand, if we simply look at the percentage of French people who say they 'know what it’s about', the political orientation has little influence.In conclusion, according to the statistical processing of the survey results, the typical profile of French people who are best informed about the SDGs could be defined as follows: a young man (under 34 years old) with at least two years of higher education, voting on the center or the left.This data comes from our survey conducted by the YouGov Institute and piloted by the research team at University College London and the University of Birmingham as part of the project Development Engagement Lab  which measures the evolution of opinions and behaviors on issues of international solidarity in four countries.

            [text] => The project Building back forward: the future of Italy’s development cooperation is led by the Italian think tank Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), one of the leading think tanks in Italy.Focus 2030 GrantName of the Project: « Building back forward: the future of Italy’s development cooperation.»Timing: September 2022 – June 2023Main objective: Promote a renewed narrative in favor of an ambitious Italian development cooperation policy and the modernization of development instruments contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).ContextAfter a new political coalition came to power in September 2022, in a global context disrupted by multiple ongoing crises (Covid-19, Ukraine, climate change...), it is essential for Italian NGOs to raise awareness among newly appointed parliamentarians and ministers, as well as citizens, on issues of international solidarity and development cooperation. This is the work carried out by the think tank IAI through this project, supported by Focus 2030.Results Measuring public perceptions and support for Italian development aid policy. Conducted an opinion survey among a representative sample of the population, in partnership with the Center for the Study of Political Change at the University of Siena. Events Organization of a round table on international cooperation in December 2022, attended by the Chairwoman of the Senate Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, politicians and leaders of the Italian NGO campaign to achieve the target of allocating 0.7% of GNI to official development assistance (ODA). During the roundtable, the Deputy Minister for Cooperation pledged that Italy’s official development assistance would reach the international target of 0.7% of the country’s GNI by 2030. Organization of an event in December 2022 attended by representatives of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Development Cooperation, the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee and civil society organizations. This was an opportunity for institutional representatives to give an overview of Italy’s development cooperation policy, for political decision-makers to share their views on how to better integrate development cooperation into the country’s foreign policy and maximize limited ODA resources, and for civil society to pass on NGO requests and suggestions for making development cooperation more effective, starting with better integration of ODA budget allocations into the country’s legislative structure. Organization of an event on 'The role of the G7 in promoting North-South cooperation', which provided an overview of the current state of G7 work and its future direction under the Italian presidency. The event also enabled international development practitioners to share their views on how the G7 can help advance and align donors and beneficiaries on the specific challenges most affecting the global South. The results were presented at the roundtable: 66% of Italians surveyed in September 2022 declare they do not know the percentage of GNI that Italy allocates to Official Development Assistance (ODA). Approximately 8% chose the correct answer. 54% of respondents can correctly define the Sustainable Development Goals from a list of proposed items. A relative majority of respondents (around 40%) declare that ODA levels should remain stable; and slightly less than 40% favor increasing them. Among center and left-leaning voters, a majority declares support for an increase in ODA; among right-leaning voters, those in favor of maintaining the status quo prevail. ODA is viewed positively by the public, who declares that it helps the economies of recipient countries, increases their self-sufficiency, and supports the most vulnerable groups. There are doubts, however, about its effectiveness, with regard to the management of aid by partner governments. For 41% of respondents, Italy’s international image would benefit from increased spending on international cooperation. In comparison, 31% estimate that the same could be said of an increase in defense spending. One-third of respondents have participated in more than one act of solidarity towards developing countries in the past year and 28% acted once. Among those who have, donations, purchasing fair trade products, and petitions are the main actions taken. These individuals report higher levels of support for official development assistance.Documents to download IAI Commentary 1, 'Present and Future of Italy’s Development Cooperation' IAI Commentary 2, 'A Development Agenda for the 2024 Italian G7 Presidency' Final report publication: 'Building Back Forward.

            [text] =>  This article presents the official development assistance figures for the main OECD donors in 2021. For the latest available statistics, please consult this articleOn December 15, 2022, the OECD published the final figures for the amounts allocated by donor countries to Official Development Assistance (ODA) in 2021.ODA issued by members of the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) reached a historical level of USD 185.9 billion in 2021. This is the highest level ever reached, despite the budgetary pressures that all countries have experienced as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Latest intel and analyses. ODA REACHES A NEW HIGH IN 2021 In 2021, ODA from DAC countries amounted to USD185.9 billion (about EUR 157.1 billion at 2021 exchange rates), an increase of 8.5% in real terms over 2020.This increase is largely due to support for the Covid-19 pandemic response, particularly in the form of vaccine dose sharing. Excluding the value of vaccines, ODA only increased by 4.8% in real terms compared to 2020. This amount represents 0.33% of the combined gross national income of DAC countries in 2021, the same level as in 2020. This ratio remains far below the 0.7% GNI/ODA target, which was adopted back in... 1970 by the United Nations.Only Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, Germany and Denmark allocate at least 0.7% of their national wealth to international solidarity. However, it should be noted that 23 of the 29 DAC countries (in 2021) have increased their ODA compared to 2020, some of them significantly: Italy (+36%), the United States (+29%), South Korea (+21%) and Slovenia (+20%).  An increase in ODA since the adoption of the Sustainable development goalsSince the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, net ODA has increased by 25%. ODA budgets increased steadily between 2013 and 2016, when it first peaked, driven in particular by the influx of refugees into Europe, and the associated in-country refugee costs. In 2017, 2018, and 2019, it decreased due to the decline in refugee-related expenditures. In 2020 and again in 2021, ODA reached its highest level on record, driven in part by support in the context of the Covid-19 crisis.  France, fifth largest donor country in volume France’s aid rose by 5% in 2021 compared to 2020, totalizing USD 15.506 billion (approximately EUR 13,1 billion), or 0.51% of France’s GNI, in line with the financial trajectory adopted by France in 2018 (aiming to progressively reach 0.55% GNI/ODA by 2022).Most of the increase in French aid is due to an inflow of bilateral and multilateral aid in the form of grants, private sector instruments, and vaccine dose-sharing. These increases offset declines in bilateral loans and in-country refugee costs. However, refugee related expenditure represent 7.5% of its total ODA, compared to an average of 5.2% for DAC countries. Excluding the sharing of Covid-19 vaccine doses, France’s ODA increased by 2.4% between 2020 and 2021, compared to 0.6% for the DAC average.Despite this increase, France still has a long way to go to reach the 0.7% target. While it remains the fifth largest donor country in volume spent on foreign aid after the United States, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom, it ranks seventh in terms of proportion of its gross national income.Find out more about the final figures for ODA in 2021.

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => In partnership with University College London (UCL) and the University of Birmingham, Focus 2030 is conducting an action-research program to analyze citizens’ opinions, attitudes, knowledge and feelings on issues related to international solidarity This program covers four countries: France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This project called the 'Development Engagement Lab' (DEL) provides data to development actors (NGOs, foundations, think tanks, ministries, public institutions, international organizations) to help them better understand citizens’ expectations and increase the effectiveness of their communication, mobilization and advocacy activities.  Three times a year, French people are questioned about their support to ODA, which slightly increases over time. French people are harsh judges of the effectiveness of Official Development Assistance (ODA). When asked, only 13% declare they believe ODA to be effective, compared to 22% who say it is ineffective.The proportion of people considering ODA as effective has increased by 4 percentage points since November 2017. Following the same logic, the percentage of people considering ODA is ineffective dropped by 13 percentage points over the same period of time.Above all, those results demonstrate that ODA is not well known in France. In the surveys the DEL program conducts, 45% of French people do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of ODA (+9 percentage points since 2017). This percentage is associated with the 20% who do not know how to answer this question.Paradoxically, the point of view of French people about the 'effectiveness' of ODA does not really vary according to socio-demographic parameters such as age, gender, education level, or political preferences.On the other hand, French views about “inefficiency” are more common among right-wing sympathizers (+6 percentage points compared to left-wing sympathizers) and among French people over 35 years old.This data comes from our survey conducted by the YouGov Institute and piloted by the research team at University College London and the University of Birmingham as part of the Development Engagement Lab project, which measures the evolution of opinions and behaviors on issues related to international solidarity in four countries.

            [descriptif] => Overview of the major international conferences of the next five years and the issues that France will have to tackle to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => What challenges will France have to meet in the next five years to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals?As the world’s seventh largest economy, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, a key country among the 27 members of the European Union, and the fifth largest provider of Official Development Assistance (ODA), France plays a leading role on the international scene, enabling it to drive the global achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.It is therefore incumbent upon France to live up to its global responsibilities. This requirement is all the more necessary given the withdrawal of certain countries, such as the United Kingdom.Whether or not France encourages an international dynamic to fight climate change (following the example of COP21), to fight pandemics (COVAX, ACT-A), or to promote gender equality (Generation Equality Forum), can indeed be a determining factor in the international community’s ability to reduce global inequalities, protect the planet and contribute to peace.International issues, a driving factor in the French presidential election votesAnd the French seem to be fully aware of this, as illustrated by the results of our opinion surveys.The positions of the presidential candidates on major international issues appear to be an important determinant of their votes. According to a BVA survey for Ouest France conducted on April 24, 22% of voters in the second round stated that the candidates’ positions on international relations motivated their choice. The importance of international issues in influencing the vote differs widely according to the political orientation of the electorate: these issues were important to 36% of Emmanuel Macron’s voters, compared to only 2% of Marine Le Pen’s voters.Opposite views on international issues between the two second-round candidatesEven though these issues are important to the French, France’s role in international development and cooperation with the most vulnerable countries and populations has remained mostly absent from the 2022 presidential campaign, with the notable exception of the war in Ukraine and its cascading aftermath.This observation is all the more damaging since it constituted a notorious dissension between the candidates in the second round. This antagonism, revealed by the analysis of their public positions, led many international solidarity players to openly take a position.Climate, health, gender equality around the world: a challenging five-year term aheadThe next five years will most likely be the last full presidential term before the 2030 deadline. Therefore, the period 2022-2027 will be decisive for the collective achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.It will therefore be up to the new government and the elected President to ensure that France plays a role on the international stage that is in keeping with the scale of the global challenges to be met over the next five years.Faithful to the motto 'to govern is to foresee', Focus 2030 draws up a non-exhaustive inventory of the major international events that will take place until 2027. The major international events of the next five yearsHover over the right upper corner of the image to view in full screen or download.The years 2022 to 2027 will be crucial for the future of the planet and of humanity, as the slow progress made so far by the international community towards the reduction of poverty and inequality has been slowed down, and often reversed, by the Covid-19 pandemic.The obvious setbacks in global health have led to cascading consequences on the reduction of poverty, the fight against hunger, access to education, or the achievement of gender equality. In addition to this crisis, Russia’s war on Ukraine and the increasingly visible manifestations of climate change could have dramatic consequences, especially for the most vulnerable countries on our planet. These new crises call for new efforts.Important meetings await the new government in the first months of its mandate. The G7 and G20 summits will be an opportunity for the world’s richest countries to demonstrate their solidarity with the rest of the world by making concrete commitments to fight Covid-19, ensure a sustainable and equitable global recovery, and prepare the world for future pandemics. The next steps will involve reforming the global health architecture and regulations, and implementing an agenda for greater health sovereignty.The first anniversary of the Generation Equality Forum, at the end of June, will recall the commitment made by many public and private actors, including France, to implement a Global Acceleration Plan by 2026 to advance gender equality. The review of France’s international strategy for gender equality, which ends in 2022, could also be an opportunity to safeguard France’s various commitments, such as its feminist diplomacy or the Support Fund for Feminist Organizations launched in 2020.In the fall, donor countries will gather around the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria to finance the fight against these three pandemics in the world. The lives of 20 million people depend on the success of this replenishment, in which the participation of France, the organization’s 2nd largest donor, will be decisive.COP 27 in November 2022 will also provide an opportunity to take stock of the international response to the climate crisis, as the IPCC warned last April that if global greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced by 2025, it will be impossible to limit global warming to 1.5°C as agreed upon at the COP 21 in Paris.In the following years, France will have to ensure the implementation of the law on inclusive development and the fight against global inequalities adopted unanimously in 2021. This law notably foresees the achievement, by 2025, of the symbolic target of allocating 0.7% of its Gross National Income to Official Development Assistance, compared to 0.52% in 2021 - a target that will undoubtedly need revision in light of the numerous current and forthcoming crises. This increase in funding, which could represent an additional 6 billion euros in 2025 compared to 2021, will also have to be complemented by modernization efforts, in order to increase its impact on the fight against global poverty and inequality.The French presidency of the G7 in 2026 will coincide with the end of the implementation period of the commitments made at the Generation Equality Forum, which France co-chaired in 2021 with Mexico and UN Women. As a leader of the 'Bodily autonomy and sexual and reproductive health and rights' Action Coalition, France will have to continuously advocate for women’s rights, through a fully embodied feminist diplomacy and appropriate funding, as foreseen in the Law on inclusive development.In 2027, when the presidential term ends, it will be time to take stock. Twelve years after its adoption, and only three years away from the 2030 Agenda deadline, will France have fully contributed to an international dynamic enabling the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals? Recommendations for the next five years from international solidarity organizationsIn the run-up to the presidential election, Focus 2030 interviewed civil society actors about their assessment of Emmanuel Macron’s first term in office regarding international solidarity and their expectations for the next five years.Discover their opinions in the articles below (in French).

            [text] => The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), whose secretariat is provided by UN Women, is dedicated exclusively to the promotion of women’s rights. Every year since 1946, ministers, government and civil society representatives attend an annual session held in New York at the United Nations headquarters. Find out more about this annual conference.This year, the 66th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW66), which took place from March 14 to 25, 2022, had as its priority theme: 'Achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of climate change, environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programmes'.   The Generation Equality Forum in the spotlight during CSW66This 66th session, which opened almost a year after the first segment of the Generation Equality Forum (GEF) hosted by Mexico from March 29 to 30, 2021, provided an opportunity to take stock of the commitments made during this event of major importance for women’s rights worldwide and to consider the follow-up to be given.Appointed in September 2021, the new Executive Director of UN Women, Ms. Sima Bahous, reaffirmed her commitment to the Generation Equality Forum, highlighting three priorities: Accountability for the commitments made by GEF stakeholders (1007 ' commitment makers' and 95 'Action Coalition champions', including 24 governments) and UN Women’s support for their implementation Continued mobilization for the announcement of new commitments Promotion of the multi-stakeholder and intergenerational approach of the GEF, which is seen as an 'example of inclusive multilateralism'UN Women unveiled the Commitment dashboard, an online tool that lists the 2,000 commitments made during the GEF for each 'Action Coalition', as well as those to come.A second dashboard is dedicated exclusively to the Women, Peace and Security Compact.A monitoring and accountability framework, currently being finalized, will serve as the basis for annual accountability reports for the next five years. A first report should be released during the 77th session of the UN General Assembly in September 2022.  Key milestones and next steps in the follow-up to the Generation Equality Forum Agreed Conclusions and resolutions The UN member states adopt a joint document, known as the 'Agreed Conclusions', every year, negotiated during the CSW.For the first time at the CSW, the agreed conclusions adopted this year recognize the link between climate change and gender equality, and call on governments to take measures to strengthen the role of women and girls in addressing climate change, environmental protection and disaster risk reduction, by : Strengthening legislative, legal and regulatory frameworks Integrating gender into climate change, environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programs Expanding gender-responsive financing Improving statistics and sex-disaggregated data Promoting a just and gender-sensitive transition A resolution was also adopted regarding the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, inviting the UN Economic and Social Council to conduct an evaluation of the implementation of the Declaration for the CSW69 to be held in 2025. Member States were also expected to do the same at the national and regional level in order to assess progress and setbacks in women’s rights.

            [descriptif] => How has France’s development and international solidarity policy fared during the last five years? Analysis.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Climate crisis, health crisis, refugee crisis, economic and social crisis, crisis of multilateralism: the last five years have been marked by a series of unprecedented global upheavals.Has France, the world’s seventh largest economy, a permanent member of the UN Security Council and the fifth largest donor of official development assistance, been up to the challenge of dealing with these crises?This assessment aims to provide some answers to this question.Focus 2030 analyzed France’s international solidarity policy during Emmanuel Macron’s five-year term in office, in light of the objectives France set for itself at the last meeting of the Interministerial Committee on International Cooperation and Development (CICID), the body that defines the government’s major orientations in this area for the coming years.Official development assistance (ODA), global health, gender equality, education, the fight against climate change, support to fragile States, relationship with the African continent: how do these declarations and statements of intent measure up to the facts?Major milestones in France’s international development policy over the past five yearsDuring this period, in contrast to the trend towards national or regional retrenchment observed around the world, France has clearly increased its calls for multilateral action, notably by hosting major international events: replenishment conferences of the Green Climate Fund, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the Global Partnership for Education, as well as holding the presidency of the G7 Summit in 2019, or initiating innovative conferences such as the Paris Peace Forum, the One Planet Summit, and the Generation Equality Forum.The unanimous adoption, in the summer of 2021, of the Programming Act on Inclusive Development and the Fight against Global Inequalities has, according to most observers, demonstrated France’s new ambition in this area (search for impact, volume of aid, support for innovation, change of methods).Beyond the multiplication of initiatives, however, what assessment can be made of their implementation and impact? Here is a look at the major reforms of a public policy unlike any other, the outcome of which may or may not change the lives of millions of people beyond France’s borders. Official Development Assistance (ODA): an increase in quantity rather than quality?During the last five years, France’s official development assistance reached a record level, from 9.5 billion euros in 2017 (0.4% of its gross national income), to 14.6 billion euros planned for 2022 (0.55%), i.e. an additional 5 billion euros devoted to this policy. Moreover, the new programming Act on inclusive development sets, for the very first time, a date for reaching the objective - formulated in 1970 at the United Nations - of devoting 0.7% of its national wealth to official development assistance: 2025.However, despite a clear desire for change, this increase in resources has not been accompanied by an in-depth reform of the implementation of French ODA. Thus, the modernization efforts undertaken since 2018 are slow in terms of strengthening transparency and accountability. Documents detailing the use of funds and the results achieved remain difficult to access and decipher.Furthermore, the geographic priorities of French aid remain theoretical. Only 4 of the 19 countries considered a priority by the CICID were among the top 20 ODA recipients in 2019. Support for the world’s poorest countries therefore rermains hypothetical: more than 60% of France’s bilateral ODA is allocated to middle-income countries, while less than 10% is directed to low-income countries.Finally, despite growing financial support for civil society organizations, only 6.5% of France’s aid is channeled through them, making France one of the countries that relies the least on non-governmental actors to fight poverty and inequality among OECD countries (15% on average in 2019). A stated desire to strengthen the partnership with the African continent, still met with skepticism by observersSince 2017, the French diplomacy has tried to renew its relations with the African continent, and its youth in particular, by expanding its cooperation beyond the countries of its traditional influence and by trying, with varying degrees of success, to change its image, which has been deteriorated by its colonial and neo-colonial history: the Ouagadougou speech, the strengthening of diplomatic, scientific, and economic relations, the work of remembrance, and the organization of the New Africa-France Summit.In spite of these initiatives, and as speakers’ testimonies at the New Africa-France Summit underlined, France remains criticized for its actions on the African continent, because of its past, the permanent presence of its military bases, its historical support for authoritarian regimes, or the cascading consequences for the continent of the military operations carried out in Libya in 2011 in which France took part. Sectoral priorities: a strong political leadership slow to translate into financial support Over the past five years, France has successfully mobilized its partners (European, G7 and, to a lesser extent, G20) around its international development policy priorities: political support for multilateral instruments in global health and a coordinated response to the Covid-19 pandemic, adoption of a feminist diplomacy, hosting and support for international conferences in favor of education and climate.However, this commitment has been slow to translate into financial support. France remains the G7 country with the smallest financial contribution to the global response to the Covid-19 pandemic relative to its wealth, it is below the average of OECD countries in terms of promoting gender equality, most of its contribution to education is still allocated to organizations based on the national territory, and its climate funding does not respect the need for a balance between mitigation and adaptation projects promoted by the Paris Agreement. Global health: a greater political leadership but an insufficient support to the multilateral response to the Covid-19 pandemic.France allocated 835 million euros in ODA to global health in 2019, mainly through the multilateral channel. Throughout this five-year period, it has actively supported international organizations working in favor of global health (Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, or the World Health Organization). However, while France has contributed to the implementation of a coordinated response for equitable global access to Covid-19 tools (ACT Accelerator or ACT-A), it has only committed a quarter of its fair share, the financial effort expected given its wealth.<

            [descriptif] => Presidential candidates should commit to supporting access to vaccines in poor countries.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => In partnership with University College London (UCL) and the University of Birmingham, Focus 2030 is conducting a research-action program to analyse the perceptions, attitudes, behaviours and feelings of citizens on international solidarity issues in four countries: France, Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom. Entitled the Development Engagement Lab (DEL), this project aims to provide development actors (NGOs, foundations, think tanks, ministries, public institutions, international organizations) with data to help them better understand citizens’ expectations and strengthen the impact of their communication, citizen mobilization, research and advocacy actions.A few months before the presidential elections in France, to be held on April 10 and 24, 2022, we wanted to find out what the French expect in terms of vaccine solidarity as an argument that could guide their voting intentions.This Focus 2030-DEL survey was conducted by the YouGov Institute from September 24 to October 22, 2021, among a representative sample of the adult population of 6,106 people. Margin of error +/- 2%. For a detailed summary of the methodology more information can be found here.The commitment of candidates to access to vaccines in poor countries, a springboard for voting in the 2022 presidential elections?A relative majority of French people consider that candidates should commit to promoting access to vaccines in poor countries. For 41% of French people, a candidate’s commitment to vaccine solidarity with the poorest countries would be an argument in deciding their vote in the presidential election. Only 17% of the respondents do not consider this argument to be a factor in their voting intention It should be noted, however, that 15% did not express an opinion on this question.We note that among the people who are in favour of a commitment by the candidates to greater vaccine solidarity, the responses diverge according to the respondents’ political orientation. Thus, this interest is more pronounced among 'center' supporters (+15 percentage points) and 'left' supporters (+14 points), in contrast with the answers obtained from 'right' supporters (-4 points). At the same time, we observe that French people over the age of 55 are particularly sensitive to the sharing of vaccines on a global scale.  This data is from our survey conducted by the YouGov Institute and led by the University College London and University of Birmingham research team as part of the Development Engagement Lab project.

            [descriptif] => The 2021 edition of the G20, held under the Italian Presidency, concluded on 31 October 2021. This is a summary of the commitments made on this occasion.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => The G20 Leaders Summit held on October 30 and 31 concluded the 2021 edition of the forum under the Italian Presidency. While the need for cooperation and the results of multilateralism were emphasized and valued during the debates - in particular by Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi - the conclusions of the summit’s final communiqué demonstrate the difficulty of reaching a consensus in this arena despite the universal nature of the challenges. - An international tax of at least 15% for multinational companies  One of the main outcomes of the Rome summit was undoubtedly the agreement to introduce a minimum 15% tax on multinational companies by 2023.On climate change, however, the commitments of the leaders of the world’s 20 largest economies were more measured, despite the opening of COP26 on the day the G20 concluded. - A reaffirmation of the objective of limiting global warming to +1.5°The G20 reaffirmed the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement to keep the average temperature increase to +1.5°C in 2100 compared to the pre-industrial era.While all member states have agreed to achieve carbon neutrality by 'the middle of the century', their statements also remain unclear, as to the measures to be adopted.Among the financial announcements made on this occasion, the Italian Prime Minister declared that Italy would triple its contribution to the fight against climate change, to the tune of 1.4 billion dollars per year, over the next five years. - Special Drawing Rights: \$100 billion reallocation to developing countries to address the health crisis The G20 countries have committed \$100 billion (approximately 86.5 billion euros) of the \$650 billion in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) issued by the International Monetary Fund to address the crisis following the Covid-19 pandemic.After France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Canada took the opportunity of the G20 to announce that they would redistribute 20 per cent of their SDR allocation (or \$45 billion) to the most vulnerable countries. Japan has pledged to reallocate \$4 billion of its SDRs to low and middle income countries.Other G20 member states may announce additional contributions. All of these pledges are subject to approval by national parliaments. - A goal of vaccinating 70% of the world’s population by mid-2022 G20 members endorsed the World Health Organization’s goal of 70 percent immunization coverage and affirmed their support for extending ACT-A’s mandate to 2022, as well as for further collaboration with global and regional health initiatives (African Vaccine Acquisition Trust, Revolving Fund of the Pan American Health Organization, Global Fund Covid-19 response mechanism).G20 leaders also welcomed the work undertaken by the COVAX ACT-A Facilitation Council’s Vaccine Manufacturing Task Force.Financial announcements were also made by several states in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic: Spain announced a sharing of an additional 20 million doses of vaccine for the first quarter of 2022 in addition to the 30 million promised for this year. Canada committed to sharing 10 million doses of vaccine through the COVAX initiative by the end of 2021. Canada also announced financial support of up to \$15 million to COVAX Manufacturing Task Force partners to build capacity for the development and production of vaccines and mRNA technologies in Africa through support for the establishment of the Technology Transfer Hub in South Africa. - Creation of a Working Group on Pandemic Preparedness and Response During the joint ministerial meeting of health and finance ministers on October 29, 2021, discussions were held on preparedness and response to future pandemics. The Italian Presidency of the G20 advocated the creation of a permanent board composed of the health and finance ministers of the G20 countries.Despite the support of several members, led by the United States, which wrote an open letter co-signed by its finance minister and his Indonesian counterpart, the proposal met with opposition from several emerging countries, which were in favor of leaving it to the WHO to manage these issues.The final compromise resulted in the announcement of the creation of a dedicated technical working group within the G20. - A conference on women’s empowerment to come Last notable point of commitment, the G20 proposed a future conference on women’s empowerment in the coming years and committed to implementing a roadmap to meet and exceed the Brisbane target (reducing the gender gap in labor force participation by 25% by 2025). - A lack of clarity and ambition for civil society Denouncing a shrinking space for civil society by an increasing number of governments, the Civil 20 – the G20 engagement group mobilizing 550 civil society organizations - and many NGOs regretted the lack of ambition and clarity in some of the G20 commitments.Civil society organizations particularly highlighted the lack of progress on vaccine equality, with the G20 concluding with no agreement to lift intellectual property rights at the WTO to facilitate the production and marketing of vaccines, diagnostics and treatments.On climate, the C20 called on the G20 to take concrete measures and actions such as the elimination of all public subsidies to fossil fuels.The announcement of the upcoming conference on women’s empowerment was deemed insufficient by civil society. Among its recommendations, the C20 called for the creation of an official working group and ministerial meeting dedicated to gender and women’s empowerment within the framework of the future G20.Global Health Action has issued a press release in reaction to the G20 final statements regretting the lack of progress in financing the response to the current health crisis and the lack of vision of the G20 to prepare for future pandemics: Making health a global public good: a mission impossible for the G20.Action contre la Faim and the members of the Global Coalition for Social Protection Floors also regretted that the G20 did not make concrete progress towards the establishment of a Global Fund for Social Protection. This measure, made all the more necessary by the pandemic, has been called for by civil society organizations for nearly 10 years. It aims to promote universal social protection measures in low-income countries, particularly during the first 1,000 days of a child’s life, and to support the economic empowerment of women.

            [descriptif] => Consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Sustainable Development Goals : 17 facts and figures illustrating the impact of the health crisis on the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => As 2022 marks the 7th year of the adoption of the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, how is the Covid-19 pandemic affecting their achievement? Answer in 17 facts and figures.In 2015, the United nations Member states committed collectively to the 2030 Agenda, a sustainable development framework for the planet, populations, prosperity, peace, and partnerships. The 17 Sustainable development goals (SDGs), key pillars of the 2030 Agenda, embody the outcomes to be achieved worldwide by 2030: eradicating poverty and inequalities, achieving economic prosperity, preserving the planet, and promoting peace.Between 2015 and 2020, the international community adopted a series of measures that contribute to progress towards the 17 SDGs and to tackle existing injustices. For example, between 2015 and early 2020, the number of people living in extreme poverty had dropped by 96 million, the number of out-of-school children by 5 million, and nearly 400 million more people had access to electricity.But in 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed, and more often than not reversed, hard-won progress toward the 17 SDGs. Perhaps its most chilling consequence is in the area of global health (SDG 3), having already caused the deaths of 4.7 million people by September 2021. But it has cascading consequences across all the SDGs.The global economic downturn has resulted in the loss of 255 million jobs, and has severely affected the 1.6 billion people working in the informal economy (SDG 8), without social security (SDG 1) or health coverage (SDG 3). The resulting increase in global poverty (SDG 1) is unprecedented. It has caused an increase in hunger (SDG 2), child labor (SDG 16), and gender inequality (SDG 5).And while the decrease in human activity has been a moment of respite for threatened plant and animal species (SDGs 14 and 15) and for climate change (SDG 13), it has been too short-lived to have a positive impact on ecosystems.These are the conclusions of our analysis, a compilation of 17 reports from UN agencies, other international organizations, non-governmental organizations and research centers.The figures below are also a reminder of the extent to which the Sustainable Development Goals provide a relevant response to the major contemporary challenges, provided that concerted multi stakeholder action is taken.The achievement of each of the 17 SDGs has been compromised. These 17 facts and figures, which can be shared on social media, are a powerful reminder of this.  View infographics in full screen                      Share the infographics

            [text] => The Generation Equality Forum is an international initiative in favor of gender equality, organized by UN Women and co-chaired by the governments of France and Mexico, in partnership with civil society.Twenty-six years after the last World Conference on Women in Beijing, 500 speakers and nearly 50,000 participants from all over the world came together from June 30 to July 2, 2021. Commitments from GovernmentsThe full list of commitments can be viewed on the Generation Equality Forum’s world map. The Forum marked the launch of a Global Acceleration Plan for Gender Equality, a set of targeted actions in six key areas that impact the lives of girls and women (the six Action Coalitions).The Forum resulted in commitments from governments, philanthropic organizations, civil society, youth organizations and the private sector. In total, UN Women announced \$40 billion in financial, policy and programmatic commitments to advance gender equality over the next five years. Governments and the public sector committed \$21 billion, the private sector \$13 billion, and philanthropic organizations \$4.5 billion. United Nations entities and international or regional organizations have committed a total of \$1.3 billion. The government of Burkina Faso, along with Benin, Guinea, Mali, Niger, and Togo, has committed to providing free health care to pregnant women and children under the age of five, and to taking legislative and social measures to end harmful norms such as female genital mutilation and child marriage. Norway reaffirmed its role as a 'global political and funding champion' for sexual and reproductive health and rights through a \$1.2 billion commitment.. The United States committed \$1 billion to support national programs to end gender-based violence, and \$175 million for international programs. The Global Care Alliance, launched by Mexico and UN Women, now includes 39 countries, including Canada, which has committed \$100 million to address inequities in the global care economy. France’s commitment An additional 100 million euros to promote sexual and reproductive health and rights: 90 million euros to the UNFPA Supplies program for the purchase and distribution of contraceptives and sexual and reproductive health products 5 million to the new Shaping Equitable Market Access for Reproductive Health (SEMA) program to support equitable access to sexual and reproductive health commodities hosted by AMREF (pledged funding to date: \$50 million) 5 million to Le Centre ODAS (Organization for Safe Abortion Dialogue) in West and Central Africa, supported by the NGO Ipas A new 50 million euro commitment for the French Muskoka Fund until 2026 to reduce maternal and infant mortality in West Africa The French Development Agency (AFD) will pursue its commitment to sexual and reproductive health and rights at the same level as in previous years by mobilizing 250 million euros via the bilateral channel on SRHR for the next five years. As part of the replenishment of the Global Partnership for Education for the period 2021-2026, France will contribute 333 million euros to the Partnership, half of which will be allocated specifically to actions in favor of girls and gender equality in education The President of the Republic announced the launch of an initiative to support human rights defenders and the organizations that support them around the world, and to provide a safe haven in France for women and men who are particularly threatened. France has also been involved in the launch of other initiatives, including: 'Paris Call for the Equality Generation in Sport', with UN Women and the International Olympic Committee The first international ISO standard for gender equality A Charter to tackle gender stereotypes in the cultural and creative industries Launch of the third national action plan on the 'Women, Peace and Security' agenda and involvement in the 'Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action' Compact Launch of the parliamentary process to authorize the ratification of ILO Convention 190 o eliminate violence and harassment in the workplace.

            [descriptif] => Overview of France’s Official Development Assistance and highlights of its new development cooperation bill.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => The Covid-19 pandemic has brought into sharp focus the crucial role of development financing that wealthier economies must take on if we are to collectively achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.France is the seventh richest country on the planet in terms of gross domestic product (GDP). As such, it contributes to official development assistance (ODA), which is defined by the OECD’s Development Assistance Committee (DAC) as “aid provided by states for the express purpose of promoting economic development and improving living conditions in developing countries.”According to DAC figures for 2024, France allocated 14.3 billion euros to official development assistance, or 7.3% of the total ODA of the 32 DAC member countries. This sum corresponds to 0.48% of France’s gross national income, above the DAC average (0.33%) but below the international commitment of 0.7%.On August 4, 2021, France enacted a new law framing its development aid policy: the Programming Act on inclusive development and combating global inequalities, or “Solidarity Development Act”, scheduling the achievement of 0.7% of GNI devoted to ODA by 2025.However, the French government reneged on this commitment in the summer of 2023, pushing back the target to 2030 at the CICID (Interministerial Committee for International Cooperation and Development). In addition, budget cuts of 742 million euros in official development assistance (ODA) were decreed in February 2024, a trend that continues in the finance law for 2025, which provides for a further ODA reduction of 2.1 billion euros. Analysis.Overview of France’s official development assistanceHow is France’s development aid policy governed?The objectives and orientations of France’s ODA had been set since 2014 by the Programming Act on inclusive development and combating global inequalities. This law was due to be reviewed after five years, which finally happened in 2021 by a unanimous vote of Parliament.The Solidarity Development Act, enacted in August 2021, is central not only to development cooperation and international solidarity, but also to the fight against global poverty and inequality, as called for in the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals. It sets a symbolic target of 0.7% of gross national income allocated to ODA by 2025, which was eagerly awaited. However, the government reneged on this commitment in the summer of 2023, pushing the target back to 2030. Who sets the guidelines for France’s ODA?The Interministerial Committee on International Cooperation and Development (CICID) is the main coordinating body of the French ODA ecosystem. Under the authority of the Prime Minister, it sets its strategic orientations. The CICID last met in July 2023.During its 2018 meeting, the CICID established the Presidential Council for Development to consolidate the institutional framework. Chaired by the President of the Republic, the Council makes strategic decisions regarding the implementation of French ODA. It met for the first time in December 2020. The second was held in May 2023. The third, renamed the Presidential Council for International Partnerships, was held on April 4, 2025.Finally, the National Council for Development and International Solidarity (CNDSI) is the central forum for dialogue between the government and civil society players on the objectives and orientations of the French development policy. It is chaired by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and brings together elected representatives and civil society actors involved in development and international solidarity. The CNDSI has only consultative powers, but meets several times a year.French ODA is channelled through 24 distinct budgetary programs, managed by 10 ministries. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economy and Finance oversee the implementation of the 'ODA mission', which represented 45% of France’s total ODA in 2022 (6,9 billion euros).The budget appropriations grouped under the ODA mission, commonly referred to as the “aid core”, fund France’s bilateral cooperation (including project aid, support for civil society organizations and technical cooperation), its contribution to aid implemented by the European Commission, and its support for the work of international organizations. How much does French ODA amount to?Since 2017, https://focus2030.org/Understanding-development-aid-an-overview'>France’s official development assistance has entered a period of growth highly anticipated, not only by stakeholders in development aid and by parliamentarians, but especially by its beneficiaries. However, the upward trajectory of France’s ODA (+36% in real terms between 2018 and 2022) has been reversed from 2023 onwards.Indeed, in 2024, according to OECD/DAC preliminary data, France provided EUR 14.3 billion in ODA, or 7.3% of total ODA from the 32 DAC member countries. After a 13% drop between 2022 and 2023, France’s ODA remained stable in 2024. It ranks 5th among donors in volume after the United States, Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom, but 11th in terms of percentage of GNI allocated to ODA, at 0.48%, above the DAC average (0.37%) but below the international commitment of 0.7%. What are the main orientations of France’s development policy?  Financial programming The Solidarity Development Act introduced financial programming for France’s ODA until 2022, to reach 0.55% of GNI allocated to ODA by that date. This programming was absent from the previous 2014 law. However, to give it its full scope, this programming should naturally extend to 2025. This is all the more necessary as actions implemented in the field require predictability in terms of the resources allocated.The mention in the text that France “will strive to reach 0.7% of gross national income by 2025” for ODA was an important step forward, setting, for the first time, a date for reaching the target of 0.7% of GNI for ODA. However, at its last meeting in July 2023, the CICID postponed the achievement of this target, stating that France “will strive to reach the objective of devoting 0.7% of GNI to ODA by 2030”.Furthermore, in 2024, the government proceeded to drastically reduce France’s official development assistance, beginning in February 2024 with a 742 million euro cut to the ODA mission (-13%), and continuing in the 2025 Finance Bill, which enshrines a further 2.1 billion euro reduction in French ODA (-37%).According to Focus 2030 estimates, the postponement of the 0.7% target to 2030, combined with these two budget cuts, could result in a shortfall of 22.1 billion euros for international solidarity between 2025 and 2030.In addition, for the period 2022-2025, the French Development Solidarity Act set the target of allocating 70% of ODA in the form of grants, a target already achieved when the Act was passed and which has since been largely exceeded (they represented 87% of total ODA in 2023, a proportion nevertheless lower than the 92% average for OECD DAC members). The CICID 2023 endorsed the st

Donors provide around half of all money spent on family planning in developing countries (the rest comes from domestic governments, individuals’ own spending, and a small % from NGOs and other organizations). But there is still much ’unmet need’: it is estimated that there are still 214 million women worldwide who would like to delay or prevent a pregnancy but are not using modern contraceptives, and that the cost of meeting that need for women in developing countries would cost \$11 billion annually.

            [text] => The Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-A) is an unprecedented international partnership to respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. ACT-A’s strategy and budget are updated on a regular basis to reflect the changing context of the pandemic. ACT-A’s strategic plan for October 2021-September 2022 aims to addressing growing global inequities in access to Covid-19 tools.To ensure an equitable distribution of tests, treatments, vaccines, and protective equipment, ACT-A requires USD 23.4 billion by September 2022. Of this total budget, USD 16.8 billion are needed in public donor grants. As of October 2022, USD 10.9 billion are still missing.Which countries contribute their fair share to ACT-A, the global partnership to guarantee equitable access to COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines? Analysis.  A USD 10.9 billion public funding gap for 2022Delivering on ACT-A’s strategic plan for 2021-2022 requires USD 23.4 billion by September 2022. Of this amount, USD 16.8 billion are expected to be funded by countries. All countries are called upon to contribute according to their financial means.Financial commitments to pillars and agencies of the ACT Accelerator by public, private and multilateral donors are updated by the World Health Organization on the ACT Accelerator Commitment Tracker on a bi-weekly basis.According to the latest data, published on October 3rd, 2022, the ACT Accelerator has a public funding gap amounting to USD 10.9 billion for 2022.   High-income countries do not contribute their fair share to ACT-AA Financial Working Group was established within ACT-A’s Facilitation Council to explore funding mechanisms for ACT-A. In this respect, the working group established the 'ACT-A Sovereign Ask Financing Framework' to determine a target contribution expected by country given its level of wealth, or 'fair share'.The fair share is determined based on each country’s income level (GDP) and economic openness. It is adjusted to also take into account each country’s GDP per capita, so that countries with the highest levels of income per capita bear a higher contribution. Finally, to collectively reduce the risk of under-contribution by some countries, each country’s fair share is increased by 20%.The following table presents each G20 members’ fair share of ACT-A’s funding, and compares it with its actual contribution as of October 2022, for the periods 2020-2021 and 2021-2022.

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => In the spring of 2021, some major international summits will provide an opportunity for world leaders to make concrete commitments to end the Covid-19 pandemic and prevent the next one.On May 21, 2021, the European Commission and the Italian Presidency of the G20 will host the Global Health Summit. The following week, from May 24 to June 1, the World Health Assembly, the decision-making body of the World Health Organization (WHO), will be held. And from June 11 to 13, G7 leaders will meet under the British Presidency.While the ACT-Accelerator (ACT-A), the mechanism to ensure equitable access to COVID-19 tools and strengthen health systems around the world, still lacks sufficient resources to meet its objectives for 2021, new commitments are expected from governments.Overview of recommendations from civil society organizations.  NGOs recommendations to the French governmentOne year after the official start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the French coalition Collectif Santé Mondiale published a position paper (in French) “to remedy the lack of solidarity' in the fight against the pandemic.The Collectif Santé Mondiale calls on the French government to safeguard aid for global health. It gathers 10 NGOs committed to global health: Action Contre la Faim, Action Santé Mondiale, Equipop, Médecins du Monde, ONE, Oxfam, le Planning familial, Sidaction, Solidarité Sida and Solthis.The document presents the French government with 10 courses of action to fight the pandemic more effectively at the global level: Fund France’s “fair share” of the ACT-Accelerator, i.e., allocate an additional 870 million euros to its past pledges (150 million euros) Distribute its financial contribution across the four pillars of ACT-A according to the needs, with special attention to health systems strengthening Join the WHO COVID-19 Technology Access Pool (C-TAP) and support a temporary waiver on Trade-Related aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Suspension (TRIPS) Redistribute vaccine doses, through the COVAX pillar of ACT-A, to meet the allocation framework for equitable access proposed by the WHO Make access to sexual and reproductive health and rights and the fight against gender-based violence an integral part of the response to the pandemic Ensure transparency in the use of public funds and international cooperation mechanisms, including agreements with private companies and the price of purchased vaccines Invest in strengthening public health systems, especially primary and community health services Address the indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on global health (sexual and reproductive health, nutrition, other epidemics, etc.) Increase the share of France’s official development assistance earmarked for global health (to 15%, up from 7% in 2019). Mobilize more innovative financing (e.g., the tax on financial transactions, IFFIm, or Special Drawing Rights) to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3: 'Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all'. Civil society recommendations to G7 countriesThe Civil 7 (C7) is an engagement group which brings together civil society organizations and international solidarity actors from G7 member states (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States). Ahead of the June 11-13 G7 Summit, the C7 shared its communiqué 2021 to share civil society’s recommendations to the G7.As part of the international response to the Covid-19 pandemic: Close ACT-A’s funding gap for 2021 Start sharing surplus vaccinations with COVAX to prioritize vaccination of healthcare workers and vulnerable people everywhere Not blocking the TRIPS waiver Work with national governments, WHO and other multilateral agencies to ensure 60% of the population in every country are offered a vaccine by the end of 2021.On broader global health issues: Allocate 0.1% of gross national incomes to official development assistance for health, and help countries mobilize 5% of their GDP in favor of universal health systems Adopt a 'one health' approach, recognizing that human and animal health are interdependent and linked to the health of the ecosystems in which they exist, to prevent future pandemics Allocate official development assistance from G7 countries to strengthening health systems in priority. Civil society recommendations to world leadersThe Pandemic Action Network is a network of more than 100 organizations – from around the world and across sectors – formed to end the current pandemic as quickly as possible and ensure that the world is prepared for the next one. The 2021 Agenda for Action presents the network’s recommendations to world leaders.To end the Covid-19 pandemic: Fully fund the ACT-Accelerator in 2021 Agree to a roadmap to achieve herd immunity (vaccinate at least 70% of the world’s population) as soon as possible Donate excess vaccine doses through ACT-A as soon as possible Conduct 'slot swaps' whereby high-income countries reallocate some of their existing orders, giving their earlier “slots” to COVAX, ACT-A’s vaccine pillar Expedite the delivery of rapid tests, medical oxygen and personal protective equipment to health care workers around the world.To prevent the next pandemic from occurring: Establish a new multilateral funding mechanism dedicated to promoting pandemic preparedness and prev

            [text] => In 2018, the President of the French Republic mandated MP Hervé Berville with a mission to modernize France’s official development assistance (ODA) policy. Released in August 2018, the report A common world, a future for all (in French, English summary here) presented the results of this mission: 36 proposals aimed at adapting France’s international solidarity policy to current challenges.Two and a half years after the publication of the ‘Berville report’, at a time when the COVID-19 is a stark reminder of the interdependencies between world regions and the critical role of international solidarity, MP Hervé Berville has commissioned Focus 2030 to assess the progress made in the implementation of his 36 recommendations.Focus 2030 has just published the results of this assessment: Modernization of French official development assistance: where are we at? The report takes stock of the actions undertaken by the French government and its operators since 2018 to modernize France’s development and international solidarity policy, with regards to the proposals of the Berville report. Read the full report (in French) or keep reading to discover the main takeaways. Main takeawaysInterviews with key actors, completed by desk research, revealed that 7 of the 36 proposals have been fully implemented across various areas: A clearer strategy: France promulgated a new law on Inclusive Development and the Fight against Global Inequalities on August 4th, 2021. The law sets three objectives to French ODA: the fight against poverty, inequalities, hunger, and the promotion of education and health ; the promotion of human rights ; and the protection global public goods. In addition, gender equality became a transversal objective of French ODA. New EUR 79.5Bn NDICI-Global Europe instrument to support EU’s external action for the next Multiannual Financial Framework period (2021-2027), gathering together 10 existing mechanisms and the European Development Fund. Private resource mobilization: Proparco – the private sector financing arm of the French Development Agency (AFD) – allowed EUR 2.5Bn of financial commitments in 2019 (x2.5 compared to 2017). Domestic resource mobilization was one of the priorities of the French G7 presidency in 2019. Funding for innovation: Launch in 2021 of an independent Development and Innovation Fund to support innovative development projects, chaired by Nobel Prize Laureate Esther Duflo. Civil society inclusion: The AFD launched in 2020 a 2-year EUR 1.5M pilot program to send experts ‘with a strong connection to Africa’ in partner countries to assist on a collectively determined topic. The AFD funded the “Tour de France” of the SDGs, organized by French NGO Comité 21 over 2017-2022, to inform on the SDGs and engage all types of actors in their realization.Besides, 7 of the 36 proposals had been largely implemented at the time of the writing, of which 3 should be implemented following France’s adoption of its new law on development: Reinforced strategic and accountability frameworks of French ODA: The new law on development sets a financial ODA trajectory until 2022, with the aim to reach the 0.7% ODA/GNI target in 2025. The planned budget law for 2022 confirms this ascending trajectory, with a planned ODA increase of EUR 974M between 2021 and 2022. Elaborate a bilateral strategic framework with each partner country to guide funding and actions (planned in the new law). Establish an independent evaluation commission of the French ODA (planned in the new law). Increased clarity of budgetary documents since 2018 – although still difficult to track the disbursement of engagements. Increased targeted ODA funding: Humanitarian relief (from €60M in 2017 to €126M in 2020 through the MoFA’s Support and Crisis Center) (not reaching the target set in the Berville report). For local initiatives, through French embassies (from EUR 32M in 2017 to EUR 60M in 2020) (not reaching the target set in the Berville report). European Union: New EU-Africa Pact (in discussion, European Union-African Union Summit postponed to 2022).In addition, one third (12) of the proposals have been partially implemented, either not reaching the targets set by the Berville report (9/12) or expected to be implemented over a longer time period (3/12). The purpose of six of those 12 proposals was a more rational institutional organization, while three proposals aimed at a larger ODA resource mobilization.Finally, 10 of the 36 proposals have not been implemented. Of these, the competent authorities deemed eight too similar to existing mechanisms or not compatible with the applicable legal provisions and were discarded. The other two proposals were deemed relevant but not implemented due to a lack of resources. The majority of these 10 proposals (6) aimed at a better citizen engagement in the definition and implementation of French ODA.

            [text] => Official Development Assistance (ODA) is an essential public policy for meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, and alleviating poverty for millions of people around the world.Despite this, ODA is one of the least-well known or understood of public investments. This overview offers a brief history of commitments on development aid, its aims and methods, and what makes up our aid budgets.You will also find the latest figures available on the amounts and breakdown of aid provided by the most frequently-referenced group of donor countries, members of the Development Assistance Committee of the OECD.Aid developed as an instrument to support poverty-stricken countries after the second world war, and became a definitive part of government policy with the creation of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC).But the use and objectives of aid in international policy have been fluid over time, as has its popularity. In the 1990s came the phenomenon of 'aid fatigue', followed by renewed interest and enthusiasm by the 2000s with the UN’s first-ever development framework, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).  These were a set of goals which set out to inspire specific action on international poverty.  They were updated by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, a framework which sets out 17 goals on international development, governance and climate change, which the world is due to meet by 2030.In 2022, the DAC OECD members provided 204 billion dollars in total aid, double the levels of 2000. But though this sounds like a substantial increase, it is actually fairly modest, ODA spending representing an average of only 0.36% of Gross National Income (GNI). As a comparison, an informal objective for defence spending in NATO is 2% per member state.Today, only five countries have met the UN international commitment, agreed back in 1970, to provide 0.7% of their GNI in aid.An English translation of our Policy Brief on ODA (in French here) is forthcoming.

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Official development assistance (ODA) is regularly criticised for being unnecessary, or ineffective.  However, when it comes to addressing health challenges in developing countries, there is widespread support for the provision of funding to the poorest.In this way, the perception of effectiveness or 'value for money' can be correlated to certain sectors where ODA is seen as a worthwhile investment now, to reduce further spending in the future.  This is the case for global health aid, which is one of the best possible investments in terms of a cost-benefit assessment.According to the experts of The Lancet’s 'Investing in Health' commission, every dollar invested generates an economic return of of 9-20 dollars in developing and middle-income countries.An excellent example is the fall in costs for vaccinations thanks to donor investment in a new global vaccine initiative, GAVI.The same is true of global pandemics, where investing now in prevention and treatment of diseases (such as HIV) can help avoid much higher human and economic costs further down the line. Or polio: according to figures from the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), completely eradicating polio would save between 40 and 50 billion USD in health costs and from loss of productivity.  And yet, according to the World Health Organisation, a lack of political will for a final push might mean that the few dozen remaining cases of polio a year could rise to 200,000 annually within the next ten years.You can download the Policy Brief n°8 in French here.

            [text] => The Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator (ACT-A) is a global collaboration launched in April 2020 to respond to the COVID-19 health crisis.It brings together governments, scientists, firms, civil society, foundations, and international organizations.The goal of the ACT-A is to accelerate development, equitable allocation, and scale-up delivery of COVID-19 vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics. By the end of 2021, the ACT-A aims to rapidly scale up the delivery of at least 2 billion doses of vaccines (to 20% of the population of 190 countries), 900 million diagnostic tests and 165 million treatment courses, and strengthen the health systems of 114 countries.– > To know ACT-A’s funding needs to reach its objectives for 2021, see this article.What is the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator? The Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator is a time-limited global collaboration designed to rapidly leverage existing global public health infrastructure and expertise to accelerate the development, production, and equitable access to COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines, in order to expedite the end of the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.The ACT-A is convened by nine global health organizations, each bringing its own expertise to the table: research and development (CEPI, FIND, Wellcome Trust), market preparedness and access (Unitaid, FIND), control and norms setting (WHO), procurement (Global Fund, Gavi, Unitaid), support to health systems (World Bank, Global Fund, WHO).How is the ACT-A organised?The ACT Accelerator comprises four pillars: Diagnostics, Therapeutics and Vaccines (also known as COVAX), with the Health Systems Connector pillar working across the other three. Each pillar is managed by 2-3 partner agencies. Additionally, the WHO leads on the cross-cutting Access and Allocation workstream.  The Vaccines pillar – also known as COVAX:  It is led by CEPI, Gavi and WHO. Its role is to ensure that vaccines are developed as rapidly as possible and manufactured at the right volumes – without compromising on safety – and delivered to those that need them most.By early 2021, its goal is to secure 2 billion doses through the COVAX Facility, an actively managed portfolio of vaccine candidates across a broad range of technologies. All participating countries, regardless of income levels, will have equal access to these vaccines once they are developed. Read Gavi’s COVAX Facility governance explainer for more information.   The Diagnostics pillar It is co-led by FIND and the Global Fund, with involvement by WHO. It aims to rapidly identify game-changing new diagnostics, and bring 500 million affordable, high quality rapid diagnostic tests to market by mid-2021, for populations in low- and middle-income countries.   The Therapeutics pillar:  It is led by Unitaid and the Wellcome Trust, with involvement by WHO. It seeks to develop, manufacture, procure and distribute 245 million treatments for populations in low-and middle-income countries within 12 months.   The Health Systems connector pillar: It works across the other three pillars and is convened by the World Bank, the Global Fund and the WHO. It aims to strengthen the health systems and local community networks that are struggling to cope with COVID-19, and to unlock health system bottlenecks that might hamper the delivery and implementation of new and expanded COVID-19 tools. It also aims to ensure sufficient supplies of essential Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and medical oxygen in low- and middle-income countries to protect frontline workers and to enhance the capacity of health systems to save lives.  Access and allocation: Access and allocation is led by WHO, which directs the ACT Accelerator’s work on global access and allocation and regulatory processes. Civil society and communities engagement are integrated in each of the pillars.

            [text] => Ahead of the Generation Equality Forum, Focus 2030 and Women Deliver conducted a groundbreaking survey of 17,160 adults representative of the population in 17 countries to capture their opinions and experiences of gender inequality : 'Citizens call for a gender-equal world: a roadmap for action'. Furthermore, the study captures public opinions on policy, programmatic, and financial investments that governments, the private sector, and civil society should make to accelerate progress towards gender equality.  Interview with Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of UN Women  Focus 2030  : UN Women is organizing the Generation Equality Forum, the 5th conference on women since the Beijing conference in 1995. Our survey revealed that “On average 60% of respondents believe that gender equality has progressed in their country since the 4th world conference”. Studies have shown that this perception is not a reality, and that the pandemic is threatening to delay and even prevent the achievement of gender equality. How can the Forum be an opportunity to set new goals and tackle gender inequalities worldwide once and for all ? Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka : A quarter century since the landmark Beijing World Conference on Women public rhetoric on gender equality has not been matched by action and implementation. While there has been progress in the past 25 years, no country has achieved gender equality. As a result, 20 per cent of women and girls annually report experiencing sexual and physical violence and 19 per cent are married before the age of 18. Women do on average 3 times more unpaid care work than men. They hold just 16.9 per cent of board seats worldwide and are 13 per cent of peace negotiators. At the current rate of progress, gender parity will not be reached in national legislatures before 2063, or among Heads of State and Government for another 130 years.We celebrate positive changes, such as the 38 per cent drop in the ratio of maternal deaths since 2000 and the 131 countries that have introduced legal reforms to support gender equality. But decades of under-investment in women’s rights mean that overall this progress has been too slow and too easily reversible. We are seeing this fragility firsthand with the COVID crisis, which threatens to roll back even hard-won gains that women have made. Many countries are reporting rising violence against women and women’s economic wellbeing has been disproportionately impacted. Many women have seen their unpaid care work increase and we estimate that the ongoing pandemic will push 47 million more women and girls below the poverty line. We are living through a gender equality crisis, and the Generation Equality Forum gives us a critical opportunity to confront it, as well as the enduring structural inequalities that preceded it.The Forum, organized by UN Women and co-hosted by the governments of France and Mexico in conjunction with youth and civil society, will be a once-in-a-decade opportunity to change our societies and cement women’s leadership as we recover from COVID-19. It will kick off in Mexico City 29-31 March and culminate in Paris, France, in June.This landmark effort will bring together governments, corporations and change-makers to define and announce ambitious investments and policies. The result will be a permanent acceleration in equality, leadership and opportunity for women and girls worldwide, and embed gender equality as a vital component of building back greener, equitable, gender-responsive and inclusive societies.The Generation Equality Forum will also fuel a significant and lasting coalition for gender equality. It presents a vital moment for activists, feminists, youth and allies to achieve transformative change for generations to come. Alongside this major effort, the public will be encouraged to take action and make their own commitments for gender equality through the new UN Women campaign for the Generation Equality Forum, ActforEqual, to create a groundswell of awareness and action on gender equality in the run-up to the Forum.Stating that “women’s rights are human rights” institutionalized the rights agenda for women and changed legislation and constitutions in some countries. It created a new jurisprudence for women’s rights, which led to legislation against female genital mutilation, child marriage and gender-based violence, and created an enabling climate for the #MeToo movement. Yet, for most women, the rights laid out in the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action are not yet realized and development falls short. Generation Equality gives us a way to strengthen the nexus of rights and development in a measurable manner.   Focus 2030 : The Generation Equality Forum is an ambitious global gathering bringing together stakeholders from various backgrounds working hand in hand to bring forward actions and measures to be taken over the next 5 years. How can the work of the Action coalitions be a real catalyst for change and encourage stakeholders to take bold commitments ? Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka : The Action Coalitions are innovative partnerships of member states, corporations, youth-led, civil society and international organizations and philanthropies, designed to propel a dramatic acceleration in gender equality. The leadership group currently numbers 92 leaders from 24 countries. By their nature, the Action Coalitions are made up of groups that have differences and know how to acknowledge these differences and work together despite them to achieve the main objective of the Coalition. Action Coalitions will collaborate to announce ‘blueprints’ for action at the Generation Equality Forum in Mexico which will result in bold commitments at the Forum in France in June.The Action Coalitions are defining the most catalytic areas of focus for accelerating implementation of gender equality and will work to deliver concrete and transformative change for women and girls around the world in the coming five years. They will seek a wide range of commitments from diverse organizations – governments, nonprofits, corporations and youth leaders – on six themes ranging from Feminist Movements and Leadership to Violence Against Women. In addition, a Compact on Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action will work to drive action and resources towards women and girls in conflict and crisis settings. The leaders are together calling on other organizations to join them as “commitment-makers” in these efforts.   Focus 2030 : In 1995, the Beijing declaration and platform for action was adopted. In 2021, civil society and advocates for gender equality are hoping that concrete measures will be taken to advance gender equality on the occasion of the Generation Equality Forum. According to our survey, “Young women have the highest expectations, with 75% of female respondents aged 18-24 who expect their government to increase funding for gender equality”. As adolescents and young women are at the heart of this campaign, which outcomes would constitute a real success for the empowerment of the new generations ? Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka : At such a critical moment, it is invigorating to see that global public opinion – especially that of young women – is not only behind us, but pushing us to do more. We must achieve gender equality in our generation, and it must be intersectional and intergenerational. Youth is at the heart of this agenda.UN Women recognizes the immense value of young people who are at the forefront of global action for change, both in responding to the pandemic and in working to address the systemic inequalities it has exposed. Young people bring fresh and new perspectives to see and address issues. The Generation Equality Youth Task Force is a space for young people leading efforts to place youth at the center of the Beijing+25 process.

            [chapo] => 
            [text] => The survey was carried out through an online poll in 17 countries (Australia, Argentina, Canada, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, Tunisia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) in primary local languages, including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, and Spanish.Survey QuestionnaireFocus 2030, The Development Engagement Lab, and Women Deliver co-created the survey questionnaire, with a set of 23 questions based on the current literature and priorities of the global gender equality agenda. The survey was reviewed by UN Women. The full questionnaire can be found below.The Polling Institute: DeltapollDeltapoll is an opinion poll institute based in the United Kingdom that also produces analysis and provides strategic advice. It was founded in 2018 in London by Martin Boon, Joe Twyman, and Paul Flatters. Deltapoll uses a panel of 750,000 adults in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and global panels covering 60 million people across 45 countries worldwide, including the 17 countries in this particular study.Setting up the Panel: SamplingPanel respondents were recruited on the internet from a wide variety of sources including invitation via Internet service providers and recruitment through pop-up ads on websites. Each respondent receives a fixed bonus per month based on the number of surveys they have completed. The 1,000 survey respondents in each of the 17 countries were sampled through quotas to ensure representation of the adult population of each country. In total, this comparative survey across 17 countries is based on a sample of 17,160 respondents.Demographic Data CollectedRespondents were asked to self-identify their gender from three survey options: “male,” “female,” and “in another way.” “In another way” may include (but is not limited to): agender, genderqueer, non-binary, transgender female, transgender male, Hijra, and Two-Spirit, prefer not to say, gender identity not listed. The number of “in another way” self-identified respondents were very small in each country, and, hence, any related data analysis would not be statistically sound. In addition, information was collected regarding the respondent’s age (i.e., 18–24 years old, 25–44 years old, 45–60 years old, 60+ years old), education level (i.e., no formal education, some formal schooling but not university/college, university/college and beyond), income levels (categorized by quintiles), migrant status (i.e., refugee and/or asylum seeker, forcibly displaced within or from country of origin, economic migrant, none of the above), and race or ethnicity as appropriate for the country context and where applicable.With regard to political orientation, respondents were to select an option on a 0 to 10 scale where 0 is left and 10 is right. In this report, a respondent is considered to have self-identified as we define “left-leaning” if they selected options from 0 to 3, “center” if they selected options from 4 to 6 and “right-leaning” if they selected options from 7 to 10.For practical reasons, although in some countries a majority of people seem to self-identify as “center,” the analysis focuses on the contrast between “left-leaning” and “right-leaning” respondents in order to assess whether political orientation is associated with the opinions, knowledge, and experiences across issues.Weighting and Data Analysis For each country the raw data was weighted by gender, age, and region plus (where possible) past vote from the previous first-order election. The targets for these weights were derived from national census data along with official government statistics, large national surveys, and verified election data. The results tables were then produced in SPSS and formatted in Excel.The data tables were then analyzed by Focus 2030, in partnership with The Development Engagement Lab (DEL) team and Women Deliver.Survey Dates and Margin of ErrorResponses were obtained online between July 24, 2020 and August 4, 2020 from all 17 countries. Based on a random sample of 1,000 respondents in each of the countries surveyed, the margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% confidence interval.Race/EthnicityThe categories were taken, where possible, from the national census for each individual country. Where this was not possible, official government statistics and large-scale national surveys were used as proxies. Smaller sub-categories were then combined to create logical categories of sufficient size. For example, in Britain, “Black African”, “Black Caribbean,” and “Black Other” were combined into one single “Black” category.Translation MethodsThe translations were conducted by a leading independent professional translation agency based in London who conducts translations for companies in the research and legal space.Biases and LimitationsRepresenting the diversity of the world’s countries through a comparative survey of 17 countries was a challenge. Because such a project cannot, by definition, be exhaustive, choices had to be made in the selection of the countries to cover. Despite the inherent limitations of this unavoidably incomplete exercise, this comparative survey across 17 countries nevertheless provides a very significant portrait of the cause that concerns us worldwide: equality between women and men.All surveys or polls are susceptible to methodological bias. Inevitably, the sample of respondents, while representative along some demographic indicators may not be an accurate representation of the adult population of each country in all its social or demographic parameters. External factors may affect the constitution of the panel: the willingness or personal interest to participate in the survey, the ease or difficulty of respondents to contribute through an online survey, geographical considerations allowing for more representation of urban areas in some countries, the specific context of COVID-19, and the unprecedented experience of lockdown, etc.Thus, the fact that these surveys were conducted exclusively online did not allow the expression of people who would be deprived of any access to the internet. While the impact of an online survey is minimal in more developed countries, in countries such as Argentina, China, Colombia, India, Kenya, Mexico, South Africa, and Tunisia, it is inevitable that the respondents in the selected panel will be more representative of urban areas and more advantaged professional circles.Furthermore, the specificities of each country surveyed in terms of social norms and attitudes had to be taken into account when structuring the samples and drafting the questionnaire. For example, questions on ethnicity were not possible in France, while questions on sexuality or sexual orientation were removed in Tunisia and adapted in Kenya, where homosexuality is either illegal or criminalized. Given that China is a one state party and India might not have the same approach to what 'left' and 'right' is usually considered, voluntarily, this report does not rely on any political orientation from respondents in China and India.IntersectionalityWhile all women face discrimination, the overlap between gender and other social identities can further disadvantage some women. Other grounds of discrimination, such as age, ethnicity, disability status, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic origin, and migrant status, can in some cases exacerbate gender discrimination.Acknowledging that the intersection between gender and other identities contributes to unique experiences of oppression and privilege, answers to the survey were analyzed according to respondents’ socio-economic characteristics, such as gender, age, income level, education level, and place of residence.Given the limited sample sizes (1,000 respondents in each country) this report does not present the perceptions, attitudes, and experiences of people belonging to racial, ethnic, sexual, gender, and migrant minorities, It is nevertheless important to recall that they often experience more discrimination, while being excluded from decision-making processes.

The Generation Equality Forum  In 1995, 189 countries committed to the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action  a forward-looking blueprint to advance women’s rights and gender equality. A quarter-century later, UN Women and the Governments of France and Mexico launched the Generation Equality Forum, a multi-stakeholder and multigenerational campaign and platform to accelerate collective action for gender equality.The Generation Equality Forum (GEF) will be launched in Mexico City, Mexico from March 29-31 and will conclude with a high-level event in Paris, France from June 30, to July 2nd 2021. The Action Coalitions of the Generation Equality Forum The Action Coalitions  are the mechanisms to establish global, innovative, multi-stakeholder partnerships to mobilize collective action from governments, civil society, international organizations, and the private sector for measurable impact on gender equality and girls’ and women’s human rights.The Action Coalitions bring together United Nations’ (UN) member states, feminist and women’s rights organizations, youth-led organizations, philanthropic entities, the private sector, and other international organizations. These action coalition « Champions » will identify concrete measures to be taken over the next 5 years. There are six coalitions, centered on the following thematic areas:1. Gender-based violence, 2. Economic justice and rights, 3. Bodily autonomy and sexual and reproductive health and rights, 4. Feminist action for climate justice, 5. Technology and innovation for gender equality, and 6. Feminist movements and leadership.Issues such as financing, transforming gender norms (including engaging boys and men), law and policy reform, education, gender-disaggregated data and accountability, addressing intersectional discrimination, and addressing structural inequalities are cross-cutting themes across all the Generation Equality Action Coalitions. The role of girls and women in fragile and conflict-affected settings, as well as the issues they face in these contexts, will also be addressed within specific Action Coalitions. Adolescent girls and young women are also a priority focus throughout all of the Action Coalitions.The French government, along with the governments of Argentina, Burkina Faso, Denmark and Macedonia, has committed to be a 'champion' of the Action Coalition on “Bodily autonomy and sexual and reproductive health and rights” (SRHR).   Focus 2030’s workFocus 2030 has chosen to include gender equality as one of its key programs for the year 2021 and beyond. In this context, Focus 2030 is providing financial and technical support to their partners in the implementation of their activities in the fields of communication, research, citizen mobilization and advocacy to ensure that the Forum is a success, and that concrete measures and financial commitments are made at the Forum to be held in Paris in June.Its goals are to provide the necessary incentives for France to demonstrate leadership in convening a critical number of Heads of State, CSOs and the private sector to make a difference and set gender equality at the highest level on the international community’s agenda. In addition, these activities will support the reflections of six “action coalitions”, constituting the backbone of the FGE.Focus 2030 is also leading a #GenerationEquality working group with organizations involved in gender equality and the promotion of women’s rights, in order to create a common dynamic, share information, action plans and define joint strategies around the Generation Equality Forum.   Focus 2030’s partner organizations  Collectif Générations Féministes (Feminist Generations): this collective is a movement which brings together around fifty different civil society organizations in France. The movement is working together to make sure that feminist voices are heard at the GEF, and to ensure the Forum is a major political milestone for gender equality and feminism. Throughout 2021, the Générations Féministes will be working to build advocacy actions to ensure that the Forum is a historic moment, deliver a communication campaign aimed at the public and the media to promote the movement’s positions, and produce briefs to contribute to work carried out by the GEF and its six Action Coalitions. Oxfam France: the organization will carry out outreach activities to raise public awareness, particularly in France, on gender inequality around the world, and to mobilize the general public so that the leaders gathered at the Generation Equality Forum adopt ambitious commitments. Global Health Advocates:their project 'EssentiELLES' is designed to contribute to France’s reflections as a champion of the Action Coalition on SRHR by promoting good practices and field initiatives that are both innovative and effective in order to ensure France’s political and financial commitment is ambitious and adapted to the needs of the field in terms of maternal and neonatal health within the framework of the GEF. Terra Nova and the Jean Jaurès Foundation these two think tanks will combine their expertise to produce a report presenting the state of play and proposals for the French government to increase their commitments for SRHR.  They will also make joint recommendations with their partners in Europe and at an international level. Les Napoléons: with the support of Focus 2030, the Napoleons have founded 'Napoleons Venture Philanthropy' fund to support and provide guidance to projects for gender equality and to engage their community in the GEF. Les Expertes: les Expertes is an online professional directory that indexes the profiles of francophone women experts in their fields in France and around the world. On the occasion of the GEF, a version dedicated to women with expertise on women’s rights and gender equality issues will be launched in order to give them greater visibility, particularly in major international forums and in the media. The Egaé group: the group will offer online training ahead of the Generation Equality Forum to train women and activists in public speaking.  These trainings, targeting women activists or those wishing to get involved, working in feminist organizations, NGOs related to gender equality and women’s rights issues

            [descriptif] => On the eve of the Generation Equality Forum, Focus 2030 and Women Deliver conducted a groundbreaking survey of 17,160 adults representative of the population in 17 countries to capture their opinions and experiences of gender inequality.

            [text] => Findings from a 17-country public opinion survey on gender equality led by Focus 2030 and Women Deliver and prepared for the Generation Equality Forum - Citizens call for a gender-equal world: a roadmap for action  Discover the survey In the lead-up to the Generation Equality Forum, Focus 2030 and Women Deliver co-led a first-of-its-kind public opinion survey of over 17,160 adults, a sample representative of the populations of the 17 countries, to gather opinions and experiences on gender equality.The survey reveals that across all countries, the global public unanimously supports gender equality and a resounding majority is ready for their governments to take action to address gender inequalities through political and financial measures. CONTEXT OF THE SURVEY  In 1995, 189 countries committed to the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a forward-looking blueprint to advance women’s rights and gender equality. A quarter-century later, UN Women and the Governments of France and Mexico launched the Generation Equality Forum, a multistakeholder and multigenerational campaign and platform to accelerate collective action for gender equality.The survey covers 17 countries, from six continents and home to half of the world’s adult population. In each country, a sample of 1,000 or more respondents, representative of the adult population, was surveyed online between 24 July and 7 August 2020 by the DeltaPoll Institute.It is the first of its kind to capture perceptions related to the six Generation Equality Action Coalitions, which are the thematic working areas at the center of the Generation Equality Forum. Furthermore, the study captures public opinions on policy, programmatic, and financial investments that governments, the private sector, and civil society should make to accelerate progress towards gender equality. In addition, the survey collects information on the gendered impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and how COVID-19 is impeding or advancing gender equality. The study is designed to equip governments, the private sector, civil society organizations, gender equality advocates, and the media with data on public attitudes and perceptions to prioritize action to advance gender equality and inform bigger and bolder commitments at the Generation Equality Forum. Main lessons from the survey The survey findings show that the public is eager for sustained and strengthened political and financial investments to accelerate progress towards gender equality. Whether it is through reforming discriminatory laws, mass awareness campaigns, collecting data on girls and women, or conducting regular reviews on progress in the pursuit of gender equality, the public expects their governments to take urgent action and institute accountability measures to ensure commitments to gender equality are upheld.  Respondents also recognize the importance of focusing efforts on those most marginalized, including girls and women with disabilities, ethnic and racial minorities, refugees and migrants, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people.  The findings of this study, which covers 17 countries representing 50% of the world population, signal a need for decision-makers across the world to recognize that citizens are paying attention, they are supportive, and they are demanding actions on the far-reaching impacts of gender equality that cut across the public and private spheres and affect the health, rights, and well-being of individuals, countries, and the world. The Generation Equality Forum provides a crucial and timely opportunity for a variety of stakeholders to make informed decisions, take collective action to deliver on the promise of gender equality, and deliver on the will of their citizens.

            [descriptif] => On the eve of the Generation Equality Forum, Women Deliver and Focus 2030 publish a report on citizens’ perceptions of gender equality in 17 countries. Discover the 13 main findings of the survey.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => The survey findings show that the public is eager for sustained and strengthened political and financial investments to accelerate progress towards gender equality, whether it is through reforming discriminatory laws, mass awareness campaigns, collecting data on girls’ and women’s experiences, or conducting regular reviews of progress in the pursuit of gender equality.The public also recognize the importance of focusing efforts on those most marginalized, including girls and women with disabilities, ethnic and racial minorities, refugees and migrants, or LGBTQIA+ people.3 On average, across the 17 countries surveyed, 80% of individuals personally consider gender equality important .  The majority of respondents (60%) feel that gender equality is essential to end poverty in all countries.  61% hope that their governments will seize the opportunity of the Generation Equality Forum to increase financing for gender equality, either domestically or internationally.  People believe that governments have the primary responsibility to take action to achieve gender equality. Nearly half of the respondents would like their governments to reform laws to promote gender equality and end discrimination against women.  Gender-equality is not a marginal topic. On average, 41% of respondents would vote in an election for a candidate supporting gender equality, and 81% would be ready to personally take action to advance gender equality.  Although women generally demonstrate stronger support for every gender issue presented in the survey, the majority of men are also supportive. In fact, respondents overwhelmingly support gender equality across genders, age groups, socioeconomic groups, and countries.  60% believe that gender equality has progressed over the last quarter century since the last World Conference on Women.  On average, 57% of the women surveyed report having experienced some form of gender discrimination in their personal, professional, and public lives.  According to respondents, the three main reasons why women may not be equal to men in their country are: the unequal distribution of unpaid care, domestic work, and parental responsibilities between women and men the different employment opportunities between women and men the role of religion and culture  The COVID-19 pandemic has a gendered impact. Across 13 of the 17 countries, more women than men report experiencing more emotional stress and mental health challenges during the pandemic.  The COVID-19 pandemic can also be an opportunity to accelerate progress: 82% of respondents think women should be involved in all aspects of the global health response and recovery efforts for COVID-19, including in the development of policies and treatments.  Young people, especially young women, have the highest expectations of their governments to advance gender equality. Three in four young women call on their government to increase funding for equality in their country on the occasion of the Gender Equality Forum, compared to two in three respondents on average.  On average across the 17 countries, respondents consider the following as the highest priority issues for government action related to the Generation Equality Forum Action Coalitions: Gender-based violence: increasing accountability for perpetrators of physical and sexual crimes against women, end practices that are harmful for girls and women (for example, child marriage and female genital mutilation), and funding programs to support women who have experienced violence. Economic justice and rights: achieving equal pay for women and men, and preventing sexual harassment in the workplace. Bodily autonomy and sexual and reproductive health and rights: increasing access to sexual health services, and to accurate information, including sexual education in school. Feminist action for climate justice:promoting the training and hiring of girls and women in jobs related to climate change, and increasing their participation in the development of solutions to tackle climate change. Technology and innovation for gender equality: providing equal opportunities for girls and women to study and work in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and increase the safety of digital spaces for girls and women. Feminist movements and leadership: supporting women’s political leadership and participation, and achieving equal representation of women in politics. The survey findings will be released in January 2021. Along with the main report, country data sheets will present key findings at the country level, and survey data will be on open access to facilitate their appropriation by women’s rights movements working at the national level.

In the run-up to the Forum, Focus 2030 is pleased to partner with GHA for a project to support gender equality and the advancement of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).The campaign launched by GHA aims to mobilise attention and support in France for ambitious political and financial commitments on SRHR in order to meet existing needs and enable all women and girls access to healthcare, and healthy lives.Focus 2030 grantProject title: Women’s Handbook (Carnets de Femmes)Duration: 1 June - 30 September 2020Main Objective: To strengthen France’s role as a leader on global health, and to secure commitment to achieving SDG 3 through greater investment on women’s and girls’ health.ContextFrance, head of the SRHR Action Coalition, and co-president of the Generation Equality ForumIn June 2021, France will host the Generation Equality Forum. The Forum aims to establish a roadmap to accelerate progress on gender equality. Six Action Coalitions have been created in the run-up to the Forum to advise on a series of concrete measures to support women’s rights and gender equality.France has been nominated to lead the Action Coalition on 'Bodily autonomy and sexual and reproductive health and rights'. In this role, France will work with other members of the Coalition to develop a set of concrete and ambitious measures to be implemented between 2021-2026.Despite the fact that women’s and girls’ health is an essential requirement for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, SRHR are still neglected by donors, given the debate often stirred by women’s rights and sexual or reproductive health.In developing countries in particular, there is considerable need for greater investment on SRHR. International funds continue to be largely insufficient, and the Covid-19 pandemic has only made this situation worse in interrupting essential health services for women and girls.French leadership of the SRHR Action Coalition therefore represents an important opportunity to strengthen political commitments on SRHR and ensure that these commitments are translated into action, notably by securing greater funding to fill the current gap on international financing.ObjectivesThe GHA project aims to inform thinking and debate at the Forum on SRHR, but also in France more generally. The project illustrates the importance of SRHR as a lever for development, mobilising decision-makers and civil society around ambitious policies and funding for French development aid for women’s and girls’ health.Main actionsThe project is structured around the following activities: The production of policy papers aimed at civil society with recommendations for politicians, decision-makers and influencers involved in the Generation Equality Forum. The organisation of a workshop to bring together members of French civil society to pool analysis on French financing on SRHR and to agree common messaging. The sharing of recommandations at meetings with politicians and decision-makers involved in the Forum and on issues related to SRHR, to ensure that messages are heard at the highest levels. Publication of a series of articles calling on France to play a leading political role on SRHR and to sign up to ambitious funding commitments at the Generation Equality Forum. Communication on social networks, notably using videos to visualise the importance of funding sexual and reproductive health, and to ensure that SRHR are visible and integrated in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.                 ResultsThrough these different activities, the Women’s Handbook project opens a new channel for mobilisation, and the creation of a group of seven French civil society actors on financing for sexual and reproductive health and rights. Their work has already lead to a meeting with politicians and decision-makers involved in the SRHR Action Coalition, and continues to

            [descriptif] => Our work in 2019 was focused on three flagship programmes: 'The G7 and the Global Fund: France, champion for multilateralism'; 'The SDGs: ten years to change the world' and 'Spain is back: for a new ambition on development aid in Spain'.

            [text] => Download our 2019 Annual Report in French (English version forthcoming) here. Letter from the President and DirectorIt is our pleasure and duty to introduce this third Annual Report for our young organisation, which continues to expand its work providing support for international development actors in France and Spain to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Despite our own commitment to the SDGs, four years after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, it is clear to see that the results are somewhat mixed on their implementation worldwide.Indeed, it is plain to see that these 17 Goals, intended as the ultimate beacon to guide public policy and economic actors across their value chains, are far from being the intended point of reference for politicians, economists or the media.And yet the necessity and urgency to deploy the 2030 Agenda roadmap has never been greater - or more obvious. In 2019, a group of independent scientists, commissioned by the UN to report on progress in implementing the SDGs, once again rang the alarm bell.  With only ten years to go before the 2030 deadline to achieve the SDGs, the report shows that global greenhouse gas emissions are on the rise, inequality is deepening, and environmental destruction continues unabated. All the while, populist political movements emerging across the planet have slowed the kind of international cooperation necessary to face today’s major global challenges.But we refused to let this dampen our own determination to promote uptake for the SDGs. Instead, we used 2019 to hone our approach and methods, and to broaden our community through an increasing number of audible and influential partners.In 2019, Focus 2030 structured its work around three flagship programmes: 'The G7 and the Global Fund: France, champion for multilateralism'; 'The SDGs: 10 years to change the world' and 'Spain is back: for a new ambition on development aid in Spain'.This was this collective framework for Focus 2030’s work to put the Sustainable Development Goals at the heart of the political, media and public agenda in 2019, and to create an informed debate to encourage appropriately ambitious commitments from world leaders.France, a (national) champion for multilateralism? The G7 and the Global Fund replenishment conferenceIn 2019, Focus 2030 organised several multi-stakeholder workshops. These regular meetings involve our NGO, thinktanks, public institutions, foundation or international partners, and were focused in particular in 2019 on three key themes: global health; gender equality; and development aid.Our workshops enable participants to share information, analysis and action plans to maximise synergies and accelerate global progress on sustainable development.  In 2019 this was especially important given the opportunities  which would arise from two major events due to be held in France that year: the French G7 Presidency and Heads of Government and State summit in Biarritz in August 2019; and the replenishment conference of the Global Fund to fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which would take place in Lyon in October 2019.Upstream of these two events, and in order to facilitate our partners’ advocacy work, we continued with our opinion poll analysis, publishing two International Development Barometers: 'French views on the G7 and Global Inequality' and 'French views on the fight against health pandemics'. This research was carried out jointly with the University College of London (UCL) and Birmingham University, as part of the Development Engagement Lab.From this research, we showed that a large majority of French people felt strongly about social justice. This was already evident domestically through strong French public support for the 'Yellow Jackets' (gilets jaunes) movement, but it became apparent also (and perhaps more surprisingly) in strong support for increased international solidarity. For example, we found that 65% of French people wanted the G7 to commit to fighting global inequality, or that 64% thought that France should commit more to fighting the Aids pandemic across the world.In addition to our 2019 workshops and research, Focus 2030 also funded three projects in the run-up to the G7 and the Global Fund replenishment conference: Gender equality mainstreaming by the French national NGO platform Coordination SUD to put gender at the heart of civil society advocacy work around the G7; The 'Carnets de santé en Afrique' (Handbook for Health) project, run by Global Health Advocates France (GHA), which showcased some of the most innovative African initiatives for health, to demonstrate the importance and impact of the community, and local and international actors working together; The 'Treatment 4 All' campaign, carried out by Solidarité Sida and partners, which built an extraordinary wave of public support to ensure a successful replenishment conference for the Global Fund and mobilise the necessary funding for treatment against Aids, tuberculosis and malaria in the poorest countries.The Sustainable Development Goals: 10 years to change the worldThe Sustainable Development Goals provide a both a comprehensive framework for evaluation of the biggest challenges facing humanity, and an internationally-approved roadmap to tackling them.It is for this reason that it is essential for the SDGs to be widely known and understood by citizens, institutions, and civil society actors, not only to integrate the framework into their own actions, but also to hold our governments - who have signed up to implementing the 2030 Agenda - to account for meeting their commitments.Given the need to build this knowledge of the SDGs, Focus 2030 partnered with French NGO 4D to support their project 'Handprints' which used participative street art to inform and engage the general public on the SDGs.We also decided to dig a little deeper to understand public perceptions of major global issues, notably climate change.  Our third International Development Barometer, 'French views on climate, the environment, and development' revealed that 52% of French people saw environmental protection (climate change, pollution, biodiversity) as the greatest challenge facing humanity. Such a high level of concern about climate change and environmental issues echoes the popularity of the 'climate marches' which took place in 2019, and perhaps explains - or can be explained by - growing political attention to climate issues in France.Conversely, and despite this support, there is a clear lack of public awareness and knowledge about the 2030 Agenda and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals in France.  In 2019, four years after the framework was adopted by the UN, only 11% of French people had heard of the SDGs. This lack of awareness might be explained by the reluctance of French politicians and decision-makers to champion the 2030 Agenda by name, as demonstrated by our analysis of how often the SDG framework featured on French ministerial websites or portals and in French political manifestos in advance of the European Parliament Elections.Lastly, and specifically for this workstream, Focus 2030 launched a workgroup of very diverse actors (local authorities, businesses, foundations, NGOs and institutions) to collectively prepare a campaign in 2020 to mark 'a decade of action', a reminder that the

            [descriptif] => A mix of communication, mobilisation and advocacy, this campaign contributed to the highly successful October 2019 replenishment conference for the Global Fund to fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Solidarité Sida and its partners led the 'Treatment4All' campaign from June to October 2019, in the run up to the replenishment conference for the Global Fund to fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which took place in Lyon on 10 October. Focus 2030 provided technical support for this highly strategic campaign, which inspired action on a crucial issue.What was at stake?The Sustainable Development Goals call for an end to Aids, TB and Malaria by  2030 (target 3.3 of SDG 3). The Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria plays a crucial role, and millions of lives depend on its programmes and financing. Since the Global Fund was created in 2002, it has been supported by over 60 countries and saved over 32 million lives.Every year, across the world, the Global Fund:• provides antiretroviral treatments for HIV to 18.9 million people; • enables 5.3 million people to receive treatment for tuberculosis; • distributes 131 million mosquito nets in those countries most affected by malaria.However, despite these achievements, and even with the arrival of triple therapy treatments which have improved the lives of many patients, many people remain without access to treatment. Over a million HIV-positive children are still waiting for pediatric care, and the number of HIV infections is rising in North Africa, Eastern Europe and in Central Asia. In parallel, the deadly tuberculosis (TB) pandemic kills over 1.6 million people every year and the disease is becoming increasingly resistant. And for the first time in a decade, the number of malaria cases is also rising sharply. This is highly worrying, and a key reason to mobilise the international community in order for donor countries and so-called 'developing' countries to raise the necessary funding to continue and accelerate the fight against the three pandemics.This fight is far from over. Together, the three pandemics kill 8,000 people every day. 5,000 people are infected with HIV daily, while 2,800 die from it; 1 child dies from malaria every two minutes; and tuberculosis remains the world’s most deadly infectious disease. In 2019, the Global Fund estimated that 14 billion dollars would be necessary over the following three years in order to step up the fight against Aids, TB and Malaria. With world leaders of the main donor countries due to meet on 10 October 2019 in France for the Global Fund’s 6th replenishment conference, where they would announce their contributions for the next financing cycle, it was essential to begin building public awareness and support from early 2019 in order to reach an ambitious outcome on the day.ObjectivesThis was the background to the Treatment4All campaign, which ran from June to October 2019 in the run-up to the  replenishment conference. The campaign was led by Solidarité Sida and its partners, and resulted in a wave of public support for universal access to treatment. Thanks to the many iconic voices supporting the campaign, the question of ensuring 'treatment for all' became a focus for political and media attention, leading to strong support for France’s leadership on global health and the fight against Aids.The campaign had the following objectives: Provide greater visibility and awareness for the three major pandemics, and showcase the effectiveness and impact of the Global Fund’s work, notably in developing countries Create a wave of public support to encourage increased contributions from donor countries to the Global Fund.The campaign strategySolidarité Sida took their message to the public in a broad and engaging mobilisation campaign, delivered jointly with French and international civil society partners. To maximise impact, interest and media coverage, the campaign was integrated into Solidarité Sida’s popular summer festival, Solidays, reaching an estimated 230,000 participants. The campaign was also endorsed and promoted by over 300 influential personalities (artists, youtubers, and other household names).  It was also timed to coincide with the main preparatory meetings for the G7 (presided in 2019 by France) and mobilisation continued throughout the summer period.  This helped to influence the different legislative and financial decision-making processes on donor countries’ forthcoming pledges to the Global Fund.Main activities Throughout the campaign, Solidarité Sida joins in advocacy and coordination work with all of its French and international partners across the world. 21 June 2019: The campaign is launched at the Elysée (the Presidential residence) with President Macron and Elton John, representing the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Promotion of the campaign takes place in parallel at the Solidays festival. 19 September 2019: A poster campaign is launched, reaching over 15 million people. 3 October 2019: 300 influential personalities endorse the campaign, 250 NGOs across the world come on board, and 225,000 young people demonstrate their support. 7 October 2019: Solidarité Sida produce a fake news  video which quickly goes viral, featuring Donald Trump announcing the 'end of Aids'. The video is viewed 8 million times in three days, and sparks much debate and coverage in the media.ResultsThe Global Fund replenishment conference hosted by France achieved its goal of raising 14 billion dollars, not only from donor countries across the world, but also from the private sector and private foundations. According to the Global Fund Sixth Replenishment Investment Case Report, these funds will save 16 million lives and avoid 234 million infections or cases of Aids, TB and Malaria between 2021 and 2023.By ensuring that the issue became and remained centre-stage, and by supporting and encouraging France’s diplomatic efforts to secure financial commitments, the Treatment4all campaign played a direct part in making a success of the 6th Global Fund replenishment conference. An innovative campaignWe might not expect development financing or the needs of an international organisation working on pandemics in poor countries to raise much interest or sympathy from the general public. Indeed, such questions often appear too technical or irrelevant to everyday life, or less important than other global issues such as climate change. But Solidarité Sida and its partners were able to develop a campaign with a simple and appealing message to the public, media and politicians: which was that alongside France, all countries had the means and the duty to commit to providing Treatment4All and bringing an end to the three major pandemics.The secret of success?1. The perfect timing: the campaign was launched at the end of June 2019 during the Solidays festival, the perfect atmosphere to kickstart momentum and excellent media coverage, four months before the replenishment conference.2. A simple, appealing message: #Treatment4All, focused principally on the fight against Aids (the Global Fund also tackles TB and malaria, but these are less well-known in France) and based on the simple principle of equal access for all to health and healthcare.3. Endorsement from influential personalities and household names which boosted visibility, mainly through visuals and photographs of those supporting the campaign, notably President Macron et Elton John.4. Support from French and international NGOs for the campaign.<

            [descriptif] => Learn more here about Focus 2030’s support for Générations Féministes, a civil society movement mobilising around the Generation Equality Forum.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Générations Féministes (Feminist Generations) is a movement which brings together around fifty different civil society organisations. The movement is working together to make sure that feminist voices are heard at the Generation Equality Forum, and to ensure the Forum is a major political milestone for gender equality and feminism.Member organisations of the movement meet in plenary sessions and through separate working groups. The movement is coordinated through a secretariat, made up of five organisations: l’Association d’Aide à l’Éducation de l’Enfant Handicapé - AAEEH, CARE France, Equipop, the Mediterranean Women’s Fund, and le Planning Familial.ContextFeminist mobilisation has never been more louder, or more visible. And yet challenges to women’s rights have never been greater. This is the context in which Paris will host the Generation Equality Forum in June 2021. The Forum, delayed by a year due to the pandemic, marks 25 years since the landmark Beijing World Conference on Women in 1995.The Forum has the potential to be a historic milestone on women’s rights, and lead to real structural change to enable feminist public policy.Originally intended to bring together 7000 people, notably representatives of international civil society, the Forum is now due to take place on a smaller scale. This makes the months leading up to the Forum all the more important for mobilisation and awareness-raising.ObjectivesThe Générations Féministes mobilisation is part of an advocacy strategy aimed at providing a feminist lens for public policy, as well as ensuring that all the different feminist organisations participate and are represented in the co-construction of the Generation Equality Forum. The advocacy strategy also aims to increase funds for feminist organisations.The Générations Féministes movement uses an inclusive, intergenerational and intersectional approach to achieve these goals.Working across French and international feminist groups, the Générations Féministes movement aims to ensure integration of feminist positions across policy areas which have previously lacked coherence, such as France’s foreign or domestic policies, or policies on women’s rights.Main actionThroughout 2021, the Générations Féministes movement will be working to: Build advocacy actions to ensure that the Generation Equality Forum is a historic moment. Deliver a communication campaign aimed at the public and the media to promote the movement’s positions. Produce briefs to contribute to work carried out by the Generation Equality Forum and its six Action Coalitions.A Focus 2030 partnership - the Générations Féministes movementIn order to ensure that the Generation Equality Forum is at the top of the political, media and public agenda in 2021, and to support accelerated efforts to achieve gender equality (Sustainable Development Objective n°5), Focus 2030 is partnering with the Génération Féministes movement to provide financial support for the implementation of the project, and information and data on the Forum itself.Members of the Générations Féministes movement ACT-DTour Action contre la Faim Action Santé Mondiale Alliance des avocats pour les droits de l’homme Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain Amnesty International France Association d’Aide à l’Education de l’Enfant Handicapé (AAEEH) Association Transat Biodiversity For Peace CARE France Collectif Les Grenades Collectif NousToutes Comite Internationale Peruano CIP-ASBL Coordination SUD Droits humains pour tou·te·s Empow’Her En avant toute(s) Engagé.e.s et Déterminé.e.s (E&D) EPAPI-PARIS Equipop Excision, parlons-en !

You can also download a more complete version in French here. 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.

            [title_question] => 
            [date] => 27/07/2020
            [timestamp] => 1595800800
            [descriptif] => What are the initial consequences of the COVID-19 crisis on citizens’ perceptions of international solidarity and their understanding of a shared world?
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, for the first time in the history of humanity, 4 billion people have simultaneously endured the unprecedented experience of lockdown. For several weeks, as if the world had suddenly stopped turning, the entire planet suspended its economic activities: planes were grounded and stations were empty, while the days were regularly punctuated with each country’s reports of skyrocketing numbers of infections, hospitalizations and deaths.A bit like a dress rehearsal before the global catastrophes predicted as a result of climate change, in facing a common enemy, humanity was reminded that we share a single destiny, and face the same risk on the same planet. By way of illustration, 67% of French people reported being more aware that an event on the other side of the world can have consequences on their daily lives.Contrary to previous public health crises, the unprecedented character of this pandemic can undoubtedly be found in the incredible network of countries and people, made particularly possible by the use of the internet and by extension, the digital universe. The immediate transmission of images and information, the capacity to virtually feel somewhere else all whilst staying at home, the stream of communications between citizens from here and there has reinforced the feeling that, faced with this inevitability which knows no borders, international cooperation is necessary.On the other hand, the temptation to fall back into nationalism or regionalism, echoing the confined conditions of the lockdown and in itself an exercise in introspection on an individual scale, is a very real option. With the virus still coming from elsewhere, for a certain number of French people, it is other people that we must be protected from.This ambivalence towards introspection on one hand and widespread international collaboration on the other is notable in the opinions that we gathered for the Development Engagement Lab project between June 3-7, 2020. When given the choice between two deliberately divergent options (which, in reality, could be complementary), those asked declared on average to be slightly more inclined to think that the Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the need to take back border control (44%) than to consider that the pandemic underlines the need to step up international cooperation (38%).These opinions vary depending on political views and level of education. When 21% of French people that consider themselves naturally centrist, opt for border controls, the percentage rises to 43% amongst those who declare themselves to be very left wing, to 50% amongst those who declare themselves to be right wing and peaks at 78% amongst those who position themselves on the far right.Similarly, whilst 57% of French people, who have a minimum of a masters degree, favor the need to strengthen international cooperation, this percentage drops to 16% amongst those who have no qualifications, to 29% amongst those with a vocational qualification and to 38% amongst those who only have a high school diploma.Furthermore, 56% of French people firmly believe that when it comes to Covid-19, France must support developing countries by giving them access to tests, treatment, and vaccinations. Only 13% do not agree with this measure of solidarity, which, in a global epidemic, puts the same value on the health (and therefore survival) of individuals here and there, and the fact that it is therefore the responsibility of the richest countries, like France, to support populations living in countries with the weakest health systems.Even so, these opinions vary according to each individual’s political orientation while remaining mainly dominant amongst all French people. So, on average, 68% of those who voted for Benoît Hamon, Jean Luc Mélenchon, and Emmanuel Macron in the first presidential election round in 2017 agree with this idea, while among those who voted for Marine Le Pen, this figure falls to 39%.Nevertheless, only 26% of the latter oppose North-South solidarity with regard to the Covid-19 pandemic, as if global health challenges ultimately constitute a more federative aspect in terms of international solidarity.Young people below the age of 25 are particularly aware of the necessity of France lending its support (65%) to ensure treatments, tests, and vaccinations are available to developing countries. This trend in favor of support can also be observed among French people with a high level of education. Taking a closer look, those who oppose this solidarity remain a small minority (13% on average) regardless of the level of education. We can therefore note that health issues, in the context of a pandemic, whose effects rest upon a common understanding shared on a global scale, represent a rather consensual territory when thinking international solidarity in France.

            [descriptif] => A few months before the Equality Generation Forum, Focus 2030 surveyed French people about their perceptions of gender equality in France and around the world.
            [chapo] => 
            [text] =>   As part of the Generation Equality Voices festival organised by UN Women France between May and July 2020, and in the run-up to the Generation Equality Forum, the biggest international conference on equality in the last 25 years, our 7th International Development Barometer, “French views on gender equality in the run-up to the Generation Equality Forum” is now available to download here.  This edition of our Barometer is based on polling data from survey institute YouGov, conducted on-line between 5-13 February 2020 with a representative sample of 2003 adults in France. The survey and its analysis were carried out in the framework of Focus 2030’s participation in the Development Engagement Lab (DEL) project run by our partners UCL (London) and Birmingham University.   In contrast to a number of societal issues which cause heated discussion, it seems from this edition of our Barometer that French people can agree on gender equality, regardless of their generation, level of education, or political preference. Gender inequality may still be pervasive today, but all of a sudden, it would seem that French society has undergone an electroshock leading to a Copernican revolution in concern for, and reactions to, equality between women and men. Through this portrait of views on gender equality, both in France and more broadly, we dug deeper into the differences that seemed to emerge between women’s and men’s answers to the same question, investigating and highlighting how gender stereotypes persist even in societies where the majority of people appear ready and willing for change. Main findings  Unsurprisingly - and systematically - women have a greater awareness of the importance of gender equality and its promotion. Even if both men and women agree on the essentials, there is a clear difference in emphasis. A large majority of men appear to be aware of inequality and the need for change. Men seem generally supportive of that change. The consequences of gender inequality are spontaneously identified by women and men in terms of violence (physical and mental), economic inequality (the gender pay gap), or professional inequality (access to management positions). Enforcing parity appears as an immediate and obvious solution. The usual sociodemographic factors seem less influential than for other development issues. Differences in opinion do emerge according to the stage in respondents’ careers (entry-point professionals compared to those who are retired) or their generation (millennials vs. the generation of the 1968 student protests in France).Surprisingly, older respondents are sometimes more aware about gender equality than middle-aged respondents. Left-wing voters show a slightly greater awareness on gender equality (as for other social issues). For French people, it is acknowledged - or even assumed - that promoting gender equality should be a central rather than peripheral part of development policies in order to tackle poverty sustainably. Getting better as time goes on?    52% of French people think gender equality has improved in the last 25 years. Respondents see the same level of progression on gender equality in France as for the rest of the world.  It is obvious that respondents do not have detailed knowledge about gender equality everywhere else in the world. That said, the answers seem to point to a shared optimism generated by a global movement in favour of gender equality, boosted by the power of the internet, dissolving geography and distance.  These answers paint a general picture, rather than capturing objective knowledge: one that it must be ‘obvious’ that progress has been made in recent decades, just like progress has been made on other societal issues over time. Upon closer inspection, however, we find that men have a much higher perception of progress on gender equality in the last 25 years (62%) than women (42%).  Structural causes for gender inequality     According to French people, these are the four main reasons why women are still not considered as equal to men.  Culture, history and male opposition to change are the primary reasons French people give to explain gender inequality in developing countries, as well as the difficulty for women in accessing education. The influence of religion and lack of laws to implement or protect gender equality were also seen as key reasons for gender inequality in developing countries.  Women’s under-representation or participation in politics (the 5th most popular answer) was considered an obstacle both in France, and in developing countries.   Recognition of a vicious, or virtuous circle: the links between global poverty and gender equality   For 45% of French people, there is no way to end global poverty without first fixing gender inequality.   Global poverty is frequently projected in terms of issues such as hunger, education, health and economic prosperity. We would be forgiven for assuming that gender equality might not be considered a major precondition for ending the devastation of underdevelopment.    This figure (45%) shows however that gender equality is very much seen as a virtuous circle for the organisation of our societies, just as it is portrayed in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Gender equality is not viewed, therefore, as some far-off ideological battle on progressive values without any practical benefit, but instead as a practical process, necessary to achieve results.   61% of French people believe that gender equality should be a priority for French development aid.  There is a slightly lower level of support from right-wing voters (58%) for making gender equality a priority for French aid, whereas centre-voters, with 68%, appear to think similarly to left-wing voters (69%).We can note also that the older the respondent, the more convinced they are of the importance of making gender equality a primary objective of development funding.  Two main solutions: tackling violence against women AND promoting equal pay    All respondents agree that tackling violence against women and achieving equal pay are the two top responses to the question of how to achieve gender equality on a global scale.   Even if there is some variation between female and male responses to the question, all respondents agree with this analysis of the two major issues to tackle. It is as if gender equality was above all a political rather than an individual issue, requiring a national solution and resolution through the reorganisation of society.  The Generation Equality Forum: an opportunity for France to do more    59% of French people think France should commit to giving more money to women’s rights in developing countries.

            [text] => As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage around the world, 1761 people representative of the population of the United Kingdom were asked to assess the level of 'threat' that the COVID-19 virus poses to them for themselves, their families, their local communities, their work, their country, for developing countries and the world.'Pandemics are scary. Evidence shows such threats induce deep evolutionary psychological mechanisms that increase our desire to turn inward and fear outsiders.', say the study’s authors, members of the Development Engagement Lab.Seen in this light, the Covid-19 pandemic is likely to foster national withdrawal, isolation and even rejection of others.However, the preliminary conclusions of the sample survey conducted by our partners tend to show us the opposite .While it seems logical that everyone should be concerned for their loved ones and for themselves in a crisis such as the one we are experiencing, the British seem equally aware that the threat weighs just as much on their country (60%) as on the rest of the world (68%), and consider the threat to be even greater for developing countries (75%), as the figure below shows.   The survey results show a clear trend. According to the respondents, 'the further away the potentially affected person is, the greater the threat appears to be,' the authors of the study state.And for good reason... The poorest countries, whose health systems are more fragile, will potentially find it more difficult to cope with the pandemic, even if at the time of writing the African continent seems to be spared more than Western countries.With the realization that as long as the Covid-19 epidemic continues to circulate in one country the rest of the world will not be safe, 79% of the British consider that the current crisis has demonstrated more than ever the need for international cooperation.    Beyond what might at first glance appear to be an idealistic awareness of the need for greater international solidarity, the authors rather identify this widely shared feeling as a 'pragmatic response' to the issue at hand. This new fact should therefore not be read as direct support for international organisations and international cooperation as a value, but rather as support for the solutions that they could jointly propose, particularly in the field of health.

This campaign aims to raise awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals and the urgency of their achievement.     This much welcomed advocacy initiative invites governments, communities, businesses and citizens to take hold of the 2030 Agenda. This initiative is supported by Régie Media Transports, the United Nations Regional Information Center and our organization, Focus 2030.                     The COVID-19 crisis highlights the growing interconnectedness of our world. The 2030 Agenda, with its cross-cutting approach to global issues, is more fundamental than ever beforeThe COVID-19 pandemic proves how much our world is interdependent and vulnerable. As potential solutions are emerging to successfully overcome the crisis and reduce the social, economic and environmental impacts of the pandemic, people are questioning themselves on what the « day after » should look like.The Sustainable Development Goals adopted by 193 countries in 2015, without a doubt the only roadmap that should be taken into account when defining the public policies and actions that will be carried out by governments, civil society organizations, businesses and citizens to address the pandemic.This roadmap that sets out 17 objectives to be achieved by 2030 in order to leave no one behind, was adopted by the United Nations after an extensive consultation process with NGOs, researchers, international organizations, governments, and civil movements. This roadmap takes into account the deep-rooted links between poverty and inequalities, hunger, access to health, education, water, gender equality, responsible consumption, environmental protection and climate change.Therefore, to respond to the current crisis, an ambitious and costed action plan, the progress of which is quantifiable, which requires coordinated action from the local to the international level, already exists.Once again, it is imperative to aknowledge that in a world of 7 billion people, only multilateral action on a global scale will have the potential to make a difference.That said, let’s not reinvent the wheel, let’s implement this action plan immediately!17 SDGs – 17 injustices to fightThe international community, including France, has already committed to implementing the necessary actions to achieve these 17 objectives, representing 17 injustices that need to be tackled by 2030.Here are 17 facts and figures to illustrate some of the most flagrant inequalities that persist on a global scale. These remind us there is still a long way to go over the next 10 years to accomplish these Global Goals.To find out more about this campaign:– Elyx Foundation website

            [descriptif] => French views on climate, the environment, and development: examining the relationship in views on tackling poverty and climate change
            [chapo] => 
            [text] => Our 6th edition of our International Development Barometer, 'French views on climate, the environment, and development' is now available to download here. During the Green Fund replenishment conference, held in Paris on 25 October 2019, several states (including France) made commitments totalling 9.8 billion dollars, sending a strong signal on the need for rich countries to support developing countries with managing the increasing impacts of climate change.Following the Green Fund replenishment conference and the UNFCCC COP26 climate conference in Madrid in winter 2019, and in advance of the strategic COP26 conference postponed in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this edition of the International Development Barometer aims to to better understand and explain French views on environmental protection and development, and the interaction underlying those opinions.In today’s world, the question of ecology has long been overlooked in politics, the media, and on an everyday basis in society. This has resulted in seemingly runaway damage to every aspect of our planet and environment. In under two centuries, human beings have turned the earth into a hostile, unpredictable environment, where the only certainty is that the worse is yet to come.The Development Engagement Lab research project, supported by Focus 2030, offers a tool for measuring this kind of transformation in public opinion. What do French people understand about the urgency of the situation? Whom do they hold responsible for taking urgent action on climate change? And given growing environmental concerns, how aware are they of the interdependency of countries, citizens and economies all over the world, in contrast to the different priorities of rich v. developing countries? Questions which examine the tendency for people to look inwards, as well as their willingness to accept the fact of a globalised world.As it happens, the data we discover in this edition of the International Barometer point clearly to a growing awareness and priority given by French people to environmental issues.From the results, we see that most French people today can relate to those who care about the environment. This figures seem to suggest that French people are ready (and willing) to make more and better efforts to save the planet. However, the results do not show us how far French people would really be willing to go - nor how much they would be willing for it to cost - to adapt their lifestyles to a more environmentally sustainable existence.Respondents’ answers to this question reveal not only what French people would be willing to do for the environment, but also what they would not be willing to do - a measure of their reluctance to change their habits, consumption or way of living. In this way, the variety and sometimes contradiction of the answers (which are, after all, only opinions rather than concrete commitments) inspire both optimism for the future, as well as some cause for concern.Concern about poverty in developing countries is also correlated to concern about environmental protection. Both dimensions overlap, as if worrying about the planet, and worrying about global poverty, jointly reinforced a common awareness and appreciation of a collective existence on a shared planet.  There is also concern and firm conviction that economic development in poor countries must not be based upon by the same model which stimulated growth in rich countries previously, but which we now know to have caused so much damage to the planet.Political preference impacts the way in which people understand the consequences of climate change.  The further left-wing the respondent, the higher the perception that poor countries will be the biggest victims of climate change. Centre-voters have similar views.  Right-wing voters, on the other hand, believe that climate change will affect all countries in the same way.The modern-day debate about the economy v. the environment compares two different priorities, and two different timescales. The first is about fostering economic growth, in order to feed the world’s population (both ‘here’ in France, and everywhere else) and to provide people with housing and healthcare. The second is about protecting our planet - not just for today, but for tomorrow, and the long-term.French people see the most effective way of reducing the impact of climate change as being through international policy (their top choice).  But in reality, faced with the complexity of climate change and its impact, the combinations of first/second/third choice answers to this question suggest that French people see a value in combining multiple responses, actors and approaches for maximum effectiveness.Paradoxically, French people give (almost) equal weight to international action (like the UN COP21 conference) as they do to individual action (such as changing one’s lifestyle) as the best solutions to the climate change challenge. In contrast, a European-driven solution receives little backing (19%), through still ahead of the very few people (9%) who see action taken at national level as the best solution.

            [text] => In the face of an emerging global economic, social and health crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, over 30 national and international organizations engaged in the fight against poverty and inequalities, the promotion of gender equality and human rights, and the fight against climate change are making and appeal for citizen and political mobilization.This statement, co-signed by Focus 2030, Global Citizen, Oxfam, Women Deliver, Global Call to Action Against Poverty, calls for action and increased vigilance: the resolution of this health crisis should not be done at the expense of gender equality, the respect of public freedoms, or climate and environmental justice.Our organizations are calling on the United Nations, policy-makers and funding agencies to implement 12 measures to mitigate the social, economic, and environmental consequences of the pandemic.  Citizen action on Covid-19: Standing together in the face of the global pandemic   To support the declaration, click here to sign   Citizen action on Covid-19: Standing together in the face of the global pandemic    Joint Civil Society Statement April 15, 2020The world faces an unprecedented moment of crisis. The Covid-19 pandemic is pushing humanity’s resilience to the limit and has vast impacts on the wider social, economic and environmental fabric of our world.The pandemic especially affects older people, people with disabilities, and those with underlying health conditions, and highlights the importance of a whole-of-society approach to deliver well-resourced health systems that respond to all ages. This is an urgent healthcare emergency that  shines a glaring light on the underlying fragility and inequalities of our societies and the critical need for stronger health systems, universal provision of the right to health and social protection for all, as well as long-term sustainable development, as set out in the Sustainable Development Goals.We are resolved that civil society organisations and volunteers have a critical role to play in supporting community action and ensuring that those who are most often marginalised are not left behind through this challenging time. Already huge numbers of volunteers are stepping up in many parts of the world to ensure vital food, medical supplies and basic provisions can reach those who are affected.We will identify community responses in various countries and share the stories of those community champions who are at the frontline of this emergency response for cross learning and inspiration but we expect world leaders to ensure the following key measures are addressed to build a fairer future: Inequalities The global response to the pandemic must leave no one behind. We call on the UN and G20 governments to lead a multilateral process to ensure sufficient funds are available through the WHO and national governments to ensure provision of free universal healthcare, social care and support to those who are directly affected in all parts of the world. This must be done equally regardless of individuals’ legal status, age, gender, disability or identity, without fear of deportation or detention, criminalisation, exploitation or abuse and the process must be transparent, inclusive, equitable and accountable.We call for immediate debt cancellation, financial burden relief mechanisms and large scale aid investments to fund ongoing universal public health and social care service delivery everywhere across the globe to ensure that healthcare is universal and free for all. We call for daring financial policies, including central banks to provide resources and liquidity to governments in a coordinated way, to finance their efforts to respond to the crisis in its economic and social dimension.We also call on the UN and governments to urgently identify measures to support those in a fragile economic position by establishing a global recovery fund and delivering full implementation of universal social protection benefits and safety nets in all countries, including establishing and supporting social protection floors. Civic rights We are concerned that emergency powers are being used indiscriminately to restrict people’s fundamental freedoms, reduce the opportunity for public dialogue and lifting the duty of care for citizens who are vulnerable due to age and disability from health and social care providers. Some governments are deliberately targeting whistleblowers and those who actively share information on inadequacies in the response to the spread of the COVID-19 virus or other human rights defenders. Use of enhanced surveillance powers to restrict civic freedoms is a key challenge that needs to be addressed.Everyone has the right to health and to be free from discrimination across their life course. In times of crisis, difficult choices may have to be made about who receives medical treatment. We remind governments that decisions on which treatment people get should be based on medical needs, scientific evidence and ethical principles, such as fairness and proportionality.We remind all governments that any restrictions to movement and assembly should be in accordance with human rights commitments and international standards. Measures should be temporary, subject to review, necessary and proportionate to the evaluated risk, and targeted to ensure public safety while balancing fundamental freedoms. We further support the UN call for a global cease-fire during the pandemic; call on governments to ease the sanctions for humanitarian assistance for vulnerable people in countries under sanction; and redirect military spending to social protection.We also call on the UN to safeguard the freedom of expression  of those who seek to highlight the specific challenges faced by people of any background suffering from Covid-19. Women’s Rights and Gender justice  Women play an outsized role in the COVID-19 response. They constitute 70% of the world’s health care workforce and recognising that they are workers who are on the frontlines of responding to this health emergency, they must be adequately, appropriately and properly protected and supported to cope with the multiple impacts. We therefore call on all governments to make sure health and social care workers are properly trained, equipped, offered safe and decent working conditions; and properly resourced, including by closing the 28% gender pay gap in the health sector by instituting immediate equal pay for equal work.Governments must also recognize and address how traditional gender roles affect how people of all genders and ages experience the Covid-19 crisis, reiterating that as in past epidemics, women’s traditional role as caregivers for sick family members is putting more women and girls at greater risk of infection. Past health emergencies have caused a disruption in routine health services such as access to sexual and reproductive health products and services, access to vaccines programmes, and the provision of quality material care—this disruption of services has grave consequences to millions of lives. We call on governments to safeguard the provision of essential health services through strong primary healthcare systems and universal healthcare systems that are inclusive of sexual and reproductive health services.There are already significant increases in rates of gender based violence (disproportionately affecting women and girls), including domestic violence in lockdowns, street and workplace racial and sexual harassment, negative coping strategies, and state violence, while support is often diverted to emergency response, which puts women’s and children’s lives at risk. We call on governments to urgently increase prioritisation of and funding to prevent and respond to gender based violence (GBV). A twin track approach must be taken of: 1) funding specialist GBV organisations to deliver prevention initiatives, shelters, hotlines, psycho-social and legal support; 2) taking a multi-sectoral approach by integrating ending GBV into the responses to COVID-19.We recommend that all Covid-19 related funding, including UN COVID Funds, applies a gender lens and includes a gender marker so we can track and monitor the activities and the implications they will have on the advancement of gender equality. We stress that governments must uphold financial and policy commitments to girls’ and women’s health and rights and not let this crisis increase inequalities or reverse hard

            [text] => From February 2020 to June 2021, the 50-50 magazine will be covering the news around the Generation equality forum to be held in Mexico end of March, and in Paris in June 2021ContextIn September 1995, close to 50 000 people, 189 governments and thousands of NGOs met in Beijing for the 4th international conference on women. This landmark UN conference concluded with the adoption of an ambitious and progressive program : 'the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action' setting out twelve actions to be taken to address 12 critical issues : poverty, health, education, violence, armed conflict, economy, access to power, institutional promotion, human rights, media coverage, environment, young girls.Since then and given the changing positions of States on these issues, no new conference has been organized for fear of rolling back the Beijing commitments.In 2021, and for the first time in 26 years, the Equality Generation Forum will be held, co-organized by France and Mexico and under the chairmanship of UN Women which will start in Mexico City end of March and will conclude in Paris in June, 2021. This International Forum will bring together representatives from many countries, both from governments (at the level of Heads of State) and civil society.Let us keep in mind that according to the last report of the World Economic Forum,At the current rate, it would take 100 years to achieve gender equality in the world.Also, the Generation Equality Forum undoubtedly constitutes a unique opportunity to be seized to concretely advance the rights of women through strong financial and political commitments and accelerate progress to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.The projectAs part of a grant from the Focus 2030Rapid Reaction Fund, 50-50 magazine will independently cover the issues on the official Forum agenda and those brought by associations mobilized around the Forum, with particular attention to the international level, sexual and reproductive rights, mother and child health, violence against women, women’s financial empowerment ...In order to put this Forum on the citizens’ agenda, 50-50 magazine intends to give a voice to a large number of women, and men who work on a daily basis on gender equality issues around the world: Associations, social movements and NGOs involved Researchers and academics able to decipher the major issues and obstacles to equal access to health, education, income, positions of responsibility, and the evolution of women’s rights around the world Influential personalities, who through their political, social and cultural actions intend to contribute to a more egalitarian world.The articles covering the Generation Equality Forum (in french)Delphine O prépare la nouvelle version du Forum Génération Egalité Forum Génération Égalité : les 25 ans de la Déclaration de Pékin Fanny Petitbon : « Le Forum Génération Égalité c’est l’occasion de mettre la France face à ses responsabilités » Report du Forum Génération Égalité: les associations françaises réagissent Le Forum Génération Égalité va-t-il inclure suffisamment d’associations ?

            [text] => The survey was carried out through an online poll in 17 countries (Australia, Argentina, Canada, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Kenya, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, Tunisia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) in primary local languages, including Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, and Spanish.Survey QuestionnaireFocus 2030, the Development Engagement Lab, and Women Deliver co-created the survey questionnaire, with a set of 23 questions based on the current literature and priorities of the global gender equality agenda. The survey was reviewed by UN Women. The full questionnaire can be found below.The Polling Institute: DeltapollDeltapoll is an opinion poll institute based in the United Kingdom that also produces analysis and provides strategic advice. It was founded in 2018 in London by Martin Boon, Joe Twyman, and Paul Flatters. Deltapoll uses a panel of 750,000 adults in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and global panels covering 60 million people across 45 countries worldwide, including the 17 countries in this particular study.Setting up the Panel: SamplingPanel respondents were recruited on the internet from a wide variety of sources including invitation via Internet service providers and recruitment through pop-up ads on websites. Each respondent receives a fixed bonus per month based on the number of surveys they have completed. The 1,000 survey respondents in each of the 17 countries were sampled through quotas to ensure representation of the adult population of each country. In total, this comparative survey across 17 countries is based on a sample of 17,160 respondents.Demographic Data CollectedRespondents were asked to self-identify their gender from three survey options: “male,” “female,” and “in another way.” “In another way” may include (but is not limited to): agender, genderqueer, non-binary, transgender female, transgender male, Hijra, and Two-Spirit, prefer not to say, gender identity not listed. The number of “in another way” self-identified respondents were very small in each country, and, hence, any related data analysis would not be statistically sound. In addition, information was collected regarding the respondent’s age (i.e., 18–24 years old, 25–44 years old, 45–60 years old, 60+ years old), education level (i.e., no formal education, some formal schooling but not university/college, university/college and beyond), income levels (categorized by quintiles), migrant status (i.e., refugee and/or asylum seeker, forcibly displaced within or from country of origin, economic migrant, none of the above), and race or ethnicity as appropriate for the country context and where applicable.With regard to political orientation, respondents were to select an option on a 0 to 10 scale where 0 is left and 10 is right. In this report, a respondent is considered to have self-identified as we define “left-leaning” if they selected options from 0 to 3, “center” if they selected options from 4 to 6 and “right-leaning” if they selected options from 7 to 10.For practical reasons, although in some countries a majority of people seem to self-identify as “center,” the analysis focuses on the contrast between “left-leaning” and “right-leaning” respondents in order to assess whether political orientation is associated with the opinions, knowledge, and experiences across issues.Weighting and Data Analysis For each country the raw data was weighted by gender, age, and region plus (where possible) past vote from the previous first-order election. The targets for these weights were derived from national census data along with official government statistics, large national surveys, and verified election data. The results tables were then produced in SPSS and formatted in Excel.The data tables were then analyzed by Focus 2030, in partnership with The Development Engagement Lab (DEL) team and Women Deliver.Survey Dates and Margin of ErrorResponses were obtained online between July 24, 2020 and August 4, 2020 from all 17 countries. Based on a random sample of 1,000 respondents in each of the countries surveyed, the margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% confidence interval. Race/EthnicityThe categories were taken, where possible, from the national census for each individual country. Where this was not possible, official government statistics and large-scale national surveys were used as proxies. Smaller sub-categories were then combined to create logical categories of sufficient size. For example, in Britain, “Black African”, “Black Caribbean,” and “Black Other” were combined into one single “Black” category.Translation MethodsThe translations of the questionnaires were conducted by a leading independent professional translation agency based in London who conducts translations for companies in the research and legal space.Biases and LimitationsRepresenting the diversity of the world’s countries through a comparative survey of 17 countries was a challenge. Because such a project cannot, by definition, be exhaustive, choices had to be made in the selection of the countries to cover. Despite the inherent limitations of this unavoidably incomplete exercise, this comparative survey across 17 countries nevertheless provides a very significant portrait of the cause that concerns us worldwide: equality between women and men.All surveys or polls are susceptible to methodological bias. Inevitably, the sample of respondents, while representative along some demographic indicators may not be an accurate representation of the adult population of each country in all its social or demographic parameters. External factors may affect the constitution of the panel: the willingness or personal interest to participate in the survey, the ease or difficulty of respondents to contribute through an online survey, geographical considerations allowing for more representation of urban areas in some countries, the specific context of COVID-19, and the unprecedented experience of lockdown, etc.Thus, the fact that these surveys were conducted exclusively online did not allow the expression of people who would be deprived of any access to the internet. While the impact of an online survey is minimal in more developed countries, in countries such as Argentina, China, Colombia, India, Kenya, Mexico, South Africa, and Tunisia, it is inevitable that the respondents in the selected panel will be more representative of urban areas and more advantaged professional circles.Furthermore, the specificities of each country surveyed in terms of social norms and attitudes had to be taken into account when structuring the samples and drafting the questionnaire. For example, questions on ethnicity were not possible in France, while questions on sexuality or sexual orientation were removed in Tunisia and adapted in Kenya, where homosexuality is either illegal or criminalized. Given that China is a one state party and India might not have the same approach to what 'left' and 'right' is usually considered, voluntarily, this report does not rely on any political orientation from respondents in China and India.IntersectionalityWhile all women face discrimination, the overlap between gender and other social identities can further disadvantage some women. Other grounds of discrimination, such as age, ethnicity, disability status, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic origin, and migrant status, can in some cases exacerbate gender discrimination.Acknowledging that the intersection between gender and other identities contributes to unique experiences of oppression and privilege, answers to the survey were analyzed according to respondents’ socio-economic characteristics, such as gender, age, income level, education level, and place of residence.Given the limited sample sizes (1,000 respondents in each country) this report does not present the perceptions, attitudes, and experiences of people belonging to racial, ethnic, sexual, gender, and migrant minorities, It is nevertheless important to recall that they often experience more discrimination, while being excluded from decision-making processes.

            [text] => Achieving the Development Sustainable Goals by 2030 will require a coordinated and systematic approach to advance gender equality and women empowerment.If the Development Sustainable Goal n°5 explicitly focus on gender equality, each of the 17 goals includes this gender lens in a cross-cutting manner.The Gender Equality Forum, initaly planned for 2020 but postponed due to the covid situation, will take place end of March in Mexico and in June in Paris. It will offer a unique opportunity to accelerate efforts to fight those 17 gender based injustices.See below striking facts and figures realized by UN Women on those 17  injustices that are no longer tenable in the 21st century.

            [descriptif] => The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as 'Agenda 2030' are a series of 17 goals adopted by 193 United Nations member states on 25 September 2015.

            [text] =>  The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as 'Agenda 2030' are a series of 17 goals adopted by 193 United Nations member states on 25 September 2015. Through sustainable (economic, environmental, and social) development, the overall objective of this unique framework is to create a better world, and a better life for all, by 2030.And yet, without political will and without citizens’ involvement, especially given recent populist movements, there is a real danger that the promises made in 2015 to achieve SDGs by 2030 will not be put into practice.In order to ensure that the necessary steps are taken to make these incredible Goals become reality - saving or improving the lives of millions of people worldwide - we must ensure that the SDGs are promoted, debated, defended, and mainstreamed into our public policies.  They must also be integrated more broadly into civil society work (on the ground, and as a vehicle for citizen accountability).Evert year, month, day, hour and second that goes by  without the necessary action needed on the SDGs is a tragedy for our planet and each and everyone of the world’s citizens, especially the poorest.The Sustainable Development Goals are:17 ways to put the world to rightsThe SDGs provide a way to focus political will, and financing, on the biggest challenges which the world faces today, such as the fight against poverty and inequality (gender inequality, access to health, nutrition, energy, water and education), ocean conservation, forests, climate change, and the fight for dignity and security for everyone, everywhere.One method for allEvery year, national, regional, and global progress against the goals is measured by tracking efforts against a series of 232 indicators which accompany the 169 targets (sub-Goals).  This tracking gives us a picture of both global progress as well as individual countries’ implementation of the Goals.One deadline for all: 2030The 2030 deadline exists for all of the 17 goals, and every UN member state.    The countdown began on 1 January 2016 and offers a way for all countries to work together and focus collectively on undertaking the necessary measures and reforms to achieve the goals by 2030.Governments taking responsibilityEvery year, governments must provide a report detailing the measures taken to meet the SDGs, not only in their own countries but also in the countries where they work. Although the SDGs are a non-binding framework, they offer a unique opportunity for civil society, academics and the media to fully play their role of scrutinizing public policies and government work in order to assess their quality and impact.The end of individual priorities: bringing together development under a social, economic and environmental nexusThe SDGs also provide a new way to examine and solve contemporary global challenges. By demonstrating how each of the SDGs are interconnected, the framework demonstrates the importance of working collectively as governments, citizens, businesses, civil society or researchers to achieve them all, in order to achieve each one.An unprecedented awareness of our interdependencyThe world has never been as interconnected as it is today in terms of our entwined and globalised economies, cultures, tourism, information, science, or politics. And yet public policies are often designed or debated at a national level only. The SDGs provide a way to visualise how we all affected by the same global challenges, wherever we are, whether it is inequality or climate change.  It is a framework of global challenges, but also of global solutions: offering each and every one of us the ability to understand the issue, and to hold our governments to account in doing something about it.A unique opportunity to change the direction of our future, togetherThe underlying, central principle of the SDGs is to 'leave no-one behind' in ensuring that the most fragile, vulnerable or ignored - or even invisible - are included and protected.  The SDGs provides these traditionally-marginalised groups with a way of being seen, heard, and taken into consideration.  They also ensure that citizens and civil society can campaign to ensure that their government’s public policies are aligned with principles of greater human dignity, solidarity and environmental protection.

            [text] => Focus 2030 is supporting three key partners for a project aiming to inspire a new ambition in Spain on development aid and international solidarity. Focus 2030 launched an ambitious grant programme at the start of 2018, supporting three coordinated projects run by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (a think tank working on global health), Oxfam Intermón (a development NGO), and the Real Instituto Elcano (a policy think tank).Context: a dangerous fall in Spanish official developmentassistance (ODA)After an impressive engagement on international development at the turn of the 21st century (Spanish ODA rose from 2 billion dollars in 2000 to 5.5 billion dollars in 2008, with a real investment on global health) the financial crisis of 2008 led to drastic cuts, especially in Spain’s voluntary contributions to multilateral development organisations. From 2015, there was a slow reversal of this fall, but this was mostly due to a large volume of debt relief in 2016. And in 2017, despite a better economic outlook and parliamentary consensus to increase ODA, Spanish aid was still well below its level of 2008 at only 2.6 billion dollars or 0.19%/GNI.Spanish ODA is still lagging behind the average for comparable donors, and Spain has still not reengaged with multilateral financial instruments such as the Global Fund to Fight Aids TB and Malaria. However, the enthuiastic adoption of the 2030 Agenda and a political willingness for a commitment of 0.4%/GNI, as well as latest political developments within the EU, provide a promising setting for Spain to come back to its historic role as a key global donor.Aims of the Focus 2030 grantThe overarching programme, coordinated with assistance from our consultant in Spain, Ernest Aibar, provided a framework to coordinate our three partners’ research, awareness-raising and communications actions, set out to achieve three key objectives from 2018 onwards: Create the necessary conditions for Spain to meet its international ODA commitments Oxfam Intermón will work with key stakeholders in the government, parliament, civil society and the public to provide information and the case for re-engagement. A priority will be to build a likeminded coalition of civil society across traditional sectors to build a debate around the ambition necessary for development aid to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Strengthen Spanish engagement with the principle health multilateral funds. ISGlobal will work principally on highlighting the importance and benefits for Spain to re-engage on a long-term basis with the major multilateral health funds (such as the Global Fund or Gavi), and resume a leadership role in public policy on global health. Develop and build new narratives on the need for ambitious public policies on international development. Elcano will undertake an academic study to examine and present the links between Spanish development policy and Spanish influence globally. Elcano will carry out interviews and seminars to lead a debate between academics, government officials, politicians and influential thinkers in order to build these new narratives on the added-value and impact of Spanish aid.Together the three projects - and these three objectives - will promote and convince about the need and benefit for a more ambitious development policy for Spain and a return to the table as a strong global donor.Highlights from 2018During the first year of the grant, our partners have carried out some high-level and high-impact communications, research and awareness-raising actions, including: a series of newsletters and infographics on global health challenges by ISGlobal, to provide information for parliamentarians. regular meetings with mainstream political parties to inform them about the importance and benefits of international development for Spain, organised by Oxfam Intermón, with a focus on the SDGs. working group sessions on the 2030 Agenda, organised by Elcano, bringing together government officials, political representatives and experts to debate key development issues and new narratives. publication of policy notes on new narratives for development by Elcano.a field trip organized by ISGlobal to Mozambique for parliamentarians, including the President of the lower house Ana Pastor, to visit the International Health Centre in Manhiça and better understand the impact of multilateral health ODA. a conference on the SDGs in parliament organised by Oxfam Intermón in partnership with UNICEF and WWF. 240 people attended including representatives of 44 other civil society organisations. publication of the influential Realidad de la Ayuda 2018 report by Oxfam Intermón, analysing latest trends in Spanish aid and offering predictions for future budgets. strategic support from ISGlobal for a high-level delegation visit to Spain by the Global Funds to Fight Aids, TB and Malaria, to meet government officials, parliamentarians and civil society organisations. an 'Aid Power' seminar in Madrid, organised by Elcano, to debate different aid policies and their reach and influence, attended by government officials, civil society and academics.Results for the first yearThe coordinated actions of our three partners has led to the establishment of an influential and convinced network of individual and organisations, willing to lend their voice and weight to call for Spain to return as an international development donor, including specifically on global health.In 2018, ISGlobal, Oxfam and Elcano have carried out more than 500 interviews or meetings with government officials, parliamentarians from all the major parties, and representatives of Spanish civil society. In the first twelve months of the grant alone, they have held more than fifty different meetings with officials from Moncloa (government executive) and with the Spanish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the EU and International Development (MAEUEC).And the results of this engagement are there. At the start of 2018, the MAEUEC approved a new Master Plan for Spanish Development 2018-2021. This document was altered to include specific requests and recommendations from our three partners, such as reinforcing gender in development, establishing a multilateral action strategy, or better prioritisation of international health agencies who provide universal access to illnesses linked to poverty.Our partners’ outreach work with parliamentarians has also borne fruit. In March 2018, Congress (lower house of parliament) reaffirmed the need for Spanish aid to return to its previous levels of ambition and reach 0.4%/GNI by 2020. And throughout the year, different spokespeople of the various parliamentary commissions also called for Spain to re-engage once more with the Global Fund to Fight Aids, TB and Malaria. These calls were heard, as the government proposed an 8% increase in Spanish aid on 2017 levels promised in the 2018 state budget.After the sudden change in government in June 2018, our three partners intensified their outreach to new officials. Consequently, one of the new Spanish government’s first decisions was to create a High Commissioner for the 2030 Agenda in July 2018, headed by Cristina Gallach, to coordinate all of the government’s policy work and implementation around the SDG framework.Also in July, Oxfam and ISGlobal were invited to accompany the Spanish delegation to the High Level Forum on SDGs in New York. Following briefings with our partners, the new Foreign Affairs Minister Josep Borrell made a public statement re-confirming the government’s recommitment to increase Spanish aid to 0.4%/GNI.In September 2018, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez returned to New York for the UN General Assembly, where he gave a speech confirming the Spanish government’s commitment to the 2030 Agenda and particularly to gender equality.Following this, Elcano invited a group of high-level officials from

            [text] => The 4th edition of the Focus 2030 International Development Barometer examines French knowledge and opinions on the major health pandemics, available to download in English here. Aids + TB + Malaria = 2.5 million deaths every yearThe replenishment conference for the Global Fund to fight Aids, TB and Malaria, an international health fund which aims to provide the necessary resources to prevent and treat the three pandemics, especially in developing countries, takes place in October 2019 in Lyons (France).This edition of Focus 2030’s International Development Barometer aims to provide the development community in France with an overview of the perceptions and opinions of French people on the three pandemics, in order to better grasp their comprehension and expectations for the Global Fund replenishment conference, whose success - or failure - will have a direct impact on millions of lives across the world.Accelerating efforts to tackle an urgent problemHaving been falling for many years, the number of cases of malaria is now rising again.  Resistance to TB treatments is also growing. The marginalisation of vulnerable populations has raised the likelihood of a new Aids pandemic.  And across all three pandemics, women and children remain particular victims.And yet, in 2019, it doesn’t have to be this way.  The political, medical, technical, economic and financial solutions exist: there is a way, just not the will. It is to put those solutions into place that the Global Fund has put forward a clear plan of action over the next three years, which requires raising at least 14 billion USD from the international community and 46 billion USD within the countries where these illness are still particularly prevalent. This is the main outcome which the Global Fund is hoping to achieve at the next replenishment conference in Lyons (France) on 10 October 2019.An (acute) public awareness in FranceFrench public support for ‘doing more’ to tackle Aids, TB and Malaria cuts across the differences in opinion we traditionally see which stem from political preference, age or levels of education.For example, 64% of French people think that France should give more to the Global Fund. 67% think that France should use its G7 Presidency in 2019 to mobilise the international community on these three health pandemics. Behind these figures lies not only a sense of solidarity for victims of the diseases but also concern for the impact of global health issues at home: 72% of French people think that health pandemics in developing countries also represent a risk for health in Europe.However, French people remain relatively optimistic about the possibility and likelihood of tackling the three pandemics.

            [text] => Focus 2030 is proud to be a partner for the 'Handprints' street art project, designed and run by French non-profit organisation 4D. My handprint, my commitment!In the run up to the 4th anniversary of the adoption of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and international SDG day on 25 September, the French non-profit organisation 4D, has organized a large participative street art project called 'Handprints'.Street artists CREY132, COMER OBK, JUNGLE RAID DOG will be creating a series of 17 panels, each one mirroring one of the 17 SDGs. The public and passersby will be invited to leave their handprint to create a giant mural celebrating the SDGs - and commit individually to take action on the SDGs.Join us! 20-25th September 2019 on the banks of the river Seine in Paris (11 quai Anatole France) ’Handprints’: campaign teaser  4D is a think tank created in 1993 to promote the implémentation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 4D develops new tools to strengthen co-responsibility, ownership and accountability for everyone in meeting the SDG objectives. They also organise a range of different public and civil society events, such as debates or training, as well as research.  4D works with the general public, civil society, local authorities, elected officials and government officials.ContextThe SDGs are little known by the public, and yet they are the only internationally-recognised framework on sustainable development applicable both nationally (i.e. in France) and to all of the other UN member states worldwide.Adopted by the 193 UN member states on 25 September 2015, the SDGs represent a unique and ambitious roadmap to making the world and our societies more equal, just and sustainable.In order to ensure that the necessary steps are taken to make these incredible Goals become reality - saving or improving the lives of millions all over the planet - we must ensure that the SDGs are promoted, debated, defended, and mainstreamed into our public policies.  They must also be integrated more broadly into both private and civil society sector work, and all of our every day lives.Evert year, month, day, hour and second that goes by  without the necessary action needed on the SDGs is a tragedy for the planet, and each and everyone of the world’s citizens, especiallly the poorest. ObjectivesPromote the SDGs among the French general public, by providing an easy and visual way to get involved. Only 9% of French people have heard of the SDGs.  4D’s project aims to provide a fun, interactive display to raise awareness on the framework, and build the link between governmental commitments and citizens’ actions. Mobilise the media and influential figures to increase visibility and attention to the SDGs.Main actions Creation of a giant interactive mural on the SDGs A participative street-art project, with panels created by famous French street-artists Workshops and activities over five days to build awareness, run by 4D’s partners and volunteers Media and press coverage, notably through French national television channel TF1 Panels and mural created and on show up until the next UN climate conference COP 25 (December 2019) at the couvent des Récollets (Paris).
