It’s difficult to watch the reports from @OrlaGuerin without feeling a sense of outrage at the inadequacy of the U.K. and US response. At what point does silence become complicity?

#Yemen #Airstrikes Many thanks to all those who have responded to our Yemen report. Thanks again to @NicolaCareem @antjclifford. We will continue highlighting this under-reported story every chance we get: Boys dig friends’ graves after air strike bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-…

Finished my last day @UKAidNetwork - sad to be leaving, even sadder that UKAN is closing but proud of what we’ve achieved and the work we’ve done. And excited to be starting @devinitorg next week!

@KateOsamor talking about the ‘how’ of #UKaid and development - power to and standing with people, development rooted in communities and real local #ownership, doing transition and graduation better. So in short, be more effective... #WorldForTheMany

We need to stop tinkering and tackle structural causes of poverty and inequality @KateOsamor #WorldForTheMany. Not do we need #aid and development but how do we do it and do it better #effectivecooperation

Over-simplifying complexity? Politely put, but hard-hitting, + constructive @icai_uk report on @DFID_UK approach to value for money. icai.independent.gov.uk/wp-content/upl… @Alison_ICAI

Couldn’t agree more. Appalling staff used their position to exploit & abuse- particularly while supposedly working to support & protect vulnerable women- yet moral imperative for aid remains. ‘The Oxfam sex story is horrific. So is the war on foreign aid.’ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The Oxfam sex story is horrific. So is the war on foreign aid | Zoe Williams

Charity fulfils a fundamental human drive to to help others in desperate need. Yet Tory rightwingers see it only as hypocritical do-gooding, says the Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

It's very important that we find out what actually happened in this case and in others so we can as a sector learn the lessons and take the right steps to ensure that vulnerable people are effectively protected

Dangerous fudge at OECD DAC opens door to more (possibly a lot more) 'tied aid' - use of #ODA (aid) to subsidise donor companies. Tighter rules needed for #PSIs! My new op ed - thanks for sharing! indepthnews.net/index.php?opti…
