Things… aren’t great in the world right now. If it feels like the world isn’t making the progress we need on climate change, equality, and poverty, that’s because, well, we’re not.
It can be hard to conceptualize what this long-term progress should look like. To break it down, we created five stats that help put things in perspective. We also have some ways you can take action. We’re not powerless to these challenges, no matter how big and gloomy they...
It’s time to make the World Bank the “World’s Bank.”
Extreme poverty is on the increase for the first time in a generation. Countries affected by fragility and conflict are at the front line. We have 75 months to go before we use what is left of our carbon budget. After that we lose the battle to stay within 1.5°C.
The choices and actions implemented in this decade will have impacts now and for thousands of years to come. Business as...
More than a hundred Presidents, celebrities and economists have come together to propose a ten-point-plan to reform the World Bank and make it fit for the 21st Century.
Picture this: the European Parliament, bustling corridors, activists on all floors perfecting their pitches, whispers among them confirming, “how much did HIV testing go down again?” (Hint: HIV testing decreased by 22% in 2020 because of the pandemic).
Over two days, ONE Youth Ambassadors held approximately 30 meetings with Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). They were making the case for why the EU must meet its fair share at the upcoming Global Fund replenishment to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and...

2021 is a monumental year for the UK, as it hosts the G7, the Global Education Summit, and COP26. Historically, the UK has been an international development superpower, having been one of the most generous and largest donors. In November 2020, the UK made a strategic misstep as it cut its aid budget by 30% and reduced its ODA to GNI ratio from 0.7% to 0.5%.
This dramatic cut in the aid budget during a global pandemic will have disastrous...
World Immunization Week – celebrated every year in the last week of April – has recently wrapped up, and our Youth Ambassadors in Belgium are still thrilled about the opportunity they had in making their voices heard with their elected officials on an issue they have dearly at heart: global vaccine access as the fastest way to end the pandemic for everyone, everywhere.
Throughout the week, our young activists met with 23 decision-makers, including members of the European Parliament (MEPs)...
As the prime minister announces the UK’s long-awaited integrated foreign policy review today, we look at how we can make the most from Britain’s greatest export: UK Aid.
From cultural domination in music, sport, and film, to our world-leading science and research institutions, Britain’s influence is truly global. The Premier League is broadcast in 188 countries. The BBC World Service, which is partly funded by UK aid, reached 426 million people weekly in 42 languages in 2019. The UK was the...
