This year Italy is at the head of the Group of 20 (G20), a crucial role in the global economic landscape. The presidency is a very important responsibility. It is even more so during a pandemic, in which new COVID-19 variants continue to develop, access to vaccines is not yet guaranteed to all, and poverty is growing exponentially after 20 years of progress in its eradication. All these factors make the adoption of comprehensive and inclusive economic measures even...

After 3 days, 17 sessions, 7 training sessions, 14 speakers, and a total of 46,800 seconds of screen time, we officially launched the 8th edition of the Youth Ambassador Programme in Belgium!
We’re taking a step back to reflect on the kick-off, which for the first time took place online. Eight of our brilliant new volunteers have helped gather everything you need to know about our Y.O.U.T.H. programme and some insights from our activists:

Throughout this pandemic, we have been awed by the incredible acts of humanity taking place to protect those most in need and to help flatten the curve. People around the world are banding together in solidarity to do their parts.
In 2020, we put an open call out to our ONE Supporters and asked them to share their stories of solidarity with us. We were blown away by the responses, and we decided to bring some of those stories to...
This year, in the face of a global pandemic, the fight against global poverty and inequality became tougher, but more important than ever.
Our tireless activists fought for fair deals on debt, vaccine access, aid budgets, and more. Hundreds of thousands of global activists signed petitions, completed surveys, tweeted at or sent emails to politicians, attended briefing calls, shared messages of solidarity, or danced to our anthem “Stand Together.”
Here’s a quick look at some of what ONE and our activists...
In the next 12 months, the G20 will play a crucial role in recovering from the pandemic through a global response that can bring unity and prosperity to all. In the past, the G20 has shown great tenacity in the face of global crises, and the current COVID-19 pandemic represents yet another challenge.
COVID-19 has reversed years of progress and can seriously jeopardize all chances of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), compromising our present and future. It took just...
Jef Vanhamel is a medical doctor and ONE Youth Ambassador in Belgium. He explains that to build back stronger and better after the COVID-19 pandemic, we need to stop business as usual and tackle the underlying causes of inequality and poverty, using a doughnut-shaped roadmap.
Given that I am a medical doctor, my – not so hidden – agenda really is about health. And these are rather exciting times to be working in public health. However, before I get to...

This year Italian ONE activists Anna, Daniela, Daniele, Giulia, Ilaria, Mattia, Sara, and...
The European Week of Action for Girls is an annual event organized by a coalition of NGOs in Brussels to mark the International Day of the Girl on 11 October. EWAG is all about giving space to young advocates, and for the 8th year in a row our ONE Youth Ambassadors had the opportunity to meet (virtually, this time!) with almost 30 activists from across Europe and Africa on how to promote and fight together for girls’ rights and...
