Our global health and climate change panel on Health Innovation in a Changing Climate: Tackling Disease on the Front Line is underway, cohosted with @malarianomoreuk @GreenLibDems @LibSTEMM. #LibDemsHarrogateConference #GlobalHealth #ClimateChange #InternationalDevelopment
Harrogate! First event of the weekend is Saturday 13.00 with @MalariaNoMore @LibSTEMM and @_LDID Global warming is increasing the risk of disease spreading🌍🔥 Come and learn how we can keep pesky mosquitoes at bay🦟. See you there @LibDems @LibDemConf Zoom Links below
Today's #AutumnBudget means a real-term cut for UK aid dropping from £15.3bn (0.58% of GNI) in 2023 to £13.3bn in 2024-25. Bond's Director of Policy & Advocacy @grabinowitz said: "The government has made the short-sighted decision to slash UK aid in the Autumn budget." 1/5
Thats’s a wrap for conference season 2024! Thank you to all who met with us, spoke on panels with us, and partnered with us to raise global malnutrition and hunger. We’ve had a fantastic (and wet) conference season. Now time for a long sleep 😴 #LDConf #LabConf24 #CPC24
A sad picture of international development failure 72 @LibDems MPs will champion the UK spending 0.7%+ of GDP on development & stir global ambition Building on a great @_LDID Conference event 🔶 With an amazing team in @CalumMillerLD & @monicabeharding Credit @TheEconomist
@OdiwaJack, Christian Aid’s Africa Advisor speaking now at @_LDID and @bondngo fringe event at Lib Dem conference in Brighton
The issue of debt repayment is "the challenge of our age," says @BrianMathewLD MP on the need to familiarise MPs with this issue
"In Kenya, the government spends double in debt repayment than it spends on education. Malawi spends ten times more on debt repayment than social protection." @OdiwaJack @christian_aid on what is diverting funding in Africa
‘Labour would have £25 billion to spend on international development in this parliament if it reinstated #0.7’ @PurvisTweed at the @_LDID & @bondngo panel on the @LibDems vision for international development @LibDemConf
"We need to see the return of DFID as an independent department and the return of 0.7%, and we need to make sure we’re spending it on things that really matter" says @BrianMathewLD MP @LibDemConf #LDID2024
Looking forward to getting underway, exploring the Lib Dem vision for international development panel, chaired by @paul_abo @bondngo with @BrianMathewLD @PurvisTweed @OdiwaJack @OliHenman @CharlieMTweets #LDID2024
. Great to hear @monicabeharding talk about the impact of her visit to Kenya with @UnitedAMH and the conversations she had with communities there. “I will be an advocate for global development and I commit to that for you.” 👏🏻 @_LDID #LDConf
Now we’re talking about conflict and hunger with @jonny_oates, @monicabeharding, @MAGsaveslives, and @AAH_UK. A timely discussion as conflict induced hunger is on the rise across the world. @UnitedAMH #LDConf
On Nutrition and Hunger, @monicabeharding recounts her trip to Kenya with @UnitedAMH, showing us wristbands used to measure the wrist size of children with severe malnutrition. "I cannot tell you the impact it had on my children when I took this home to show them."
Looking forward to hearing from our expert panelists @monicabeharding @jonny_oates Najat El Hamri and Giulia Contò @MAGsaveslives @ACF_EU and @UnitedAMH. #nutrition #mines
Conflict and hunger intersect in a deadly cycle, disproportionately affecting women and children. Thank you @monicabeharding for sharing stories from your experience in Kenya @UnitedAMH @ACF_EU #EndHunger #WomenAndChildren
"Up to 80% of land could be used for agriculture—now imagine if it’s contaminated by mines. Hunger drives people to take dangerous risks. That’s why risk education is crucial. @MAGsaveslives #EndHunger #MineAction #RiskEducation"
After a rich conversation on #GlobalHealth we're excited to dive into our second panel on nutrition and hunger ✨✨✨
Pleased to be at @_LDID #LDConf fringe event on Global Heath. Great to hear @CalumMillerLD and panel highlight @LibDems’ commitment to int development, and multilateralism. @GlobalFund’s 8th replenishment gives key opportunity to strengthen U.K. leadership in global health
“We need the government and all governments to contribute to the global health architecture – these multilateral organisations where lots of countries contribute and lots of countries benefit have been incredibly effective” says @Saoirsele from @STOPAIDS #GlobalHealth
