London 15 November 2023, Responding to the appointment of ONE Campaign board member David Cameron as the UK’s new Foreign and Development secretary, Gayle Smith, CEO of The ONE Campaign,  said: 

“Both as Prime Minister and as a ONE board member, David Cameron has been a vital and passionate voice for prioritising international development, tackling climate change and championing the world’s most vulnerable people. 

“With the world facing a frightening array of global challenges – from escalating conflict and security threats to rising poverty and inequality, to the growing climate crisis – we hope he will continue to put these issues at the top of his agenda as he returns to Government. 

“This is a massive job, but David brings a wealth of energy and experience and can play a critical role helping the UK rise to these challenges and working with its partners across the world to build a safer and more stable world. He takes up this task with our best wishes and thanks for his hard work and support during his time on ONE’s board.“
