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…

Afghanistan’s upheaval is no excuse to ignore localisation promises
What was important for the country’s long-term development before the Taliban took control in August is still vital today.
Following the recent elections in #Tonga, there are now no women represented in the Tongan parliament. In this new article in @devpolicy, ‘Ofa-Ki-Levuka Guttenbeil-Likiliki explores how Tonga can increase women’s participation in politics. #globaldev #gettingdevelopmentright
There were no successful female candidates in the elections in #Tonga last week and only six women have ever been elected to parliament. ‘Ofa-Ki-Levuka Guttenbeil-Likiliki says it is time for legislative action to force change. devpolicy.org/no-women-elect…
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
In the context of COVID-19 Australian parliamentarians face the challenge of balancing a humanitarian response with fears of a domestic backlash over increases in the aid budget, explain Benjamin Day @ANUBellSchool and @TamasWells @UniMelb. devpolicy.org/a-new-era-for-…

Incrementalism, circumspection and pragmatism are the guiding principles for the new aid era, say Ben Day and Tamas Wells.

With #COP26 fast approaching and Australia's climate policies under heavy criticism, it's important to look at the issues, what's at stake, and what a net-zero world might look like. #globaldev #gettingdevelopmentright
More than 100 world leaders will soon gather in Glasgow for #COP26. "Commitments in Glasgow will spark a global race toward net-zero. But it is not a race we should be scared of. If we embrace the transition, Australia will prosper" - @wtmpacific. #auspol theconversation.com/what-is-cop26-…
A new report by @ADB_Sydney_PSDI has found that women are outperforming regional averages for representation in #business in some #Pacific states. Let’s hope this trend continues and more women are empowered in business and politics. #globaldev #gettingdevelopmentright

Global remittances dwarf the global aid budget, yet it is so expensive to transfer money from developed to developing nations? This new article in @Devpolicy by @ALeighMP examines the importance and cost of remittances from Australia abroad. #globaldev #gettingdevelopmentright
People are paying too much to transfer money to developing countries, says @ALeighMP, and foreign exchange providers should be more transparent about their charges. devpolicy.org/repairing-remi…
This new article by @stephenrhowes looks at the @CGDev CDI rankings and where #Australia ranks in #internationalaid for quality and quantity of development finance. What should Australia be doing to increase their aid presence? #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…

Could a peacekeeping mission help #Afghanistan? This article written by @charlicarpenter of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst argues that a U.N. led peacekeeping mission rather than a U.S. one could help stabilise the country. #globaldev #gettingdevelopmentright
Despite the evolving strategic context, there are reasons to think the right conditions for a U.N. peacekeeping mission could in fact yet be emerging, WPR columnist @charlicarpenter writes: wpr.pub/3gkhJAi
