"Will rich countries abandon aid in 2025?": Governance and Accountability

Eurodad, CONCORD and Oxfam host this event that explores governance of aid and a new era of accountability for Official Development Assistance (ODA).   

Panelists will react to:

1. The OECD's preliminary data for 2024 and recent aid announcements
2. The implications for the global south
3. Why now is the moment to move governance of aid to the United Nations

Moderated by the EU Observers' Africa Correspondent, Benjamin Fox, the panelists are:

• Tanya Cox, Director, CONCORD
• Jean Saldanha, Director, Eurodad
• Abby Maxman, President, Oxfam America (USA)
• Vitalice Meja, Executive Director, RoA-Africa
• OECD representative (TBC)

New data from 2024 shows that rich countries, yet again, failed to meet their aid commitments. Low-income countries were the most heavily impacted, and this is just a taste of what is to come in 2025. Rich countries also face no accountability for this broken promise - because they set the rules themselves, at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
