Foreign aid is shrinking. How do we resist further cuts, secure funding for life saving programs, and find partnerships and policies to sustain development beyond aid?

Britain used to pride itself on being a star among those helping poorer parts of the world. In 2020 it was one of only seven countries that told the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries, that it met the UN’s target of spending 0.
