The Australian government will cut foreign aid to below pre-pandemic levels next year. These cuts come despite the prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which will require more funding to help out biggest aid recipients recover. #globaldev #gettingdevelopmentright

When #COVID-19 hit, the Australian government reversed its policy of cutting #aid and started to increase it – but this year it’s started to cut aid again. @stephenrhowes takes a look at the figures. devpolicy.org/foreign-aid-cu…

Is Australia moving towards a ‘cautious consensus’ in their aid policy? Politicians and government departments must contend with balancing their national interest in Australian aid alongside a domestic backlash amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. #globaldev #gettingdevelopmentright

Reviewing how Australia and NZ did in the latest @CGDev CDI rankings we found (a) NZ has gone from being ranked first to almost last in aid quality; and (b) all OECD countries get the same score on aid transparency. Both very odd. devpolicy.org/australian-and…
