I have just returned from Afar in eastern Ethiopia, a part of S&E Ethiopia, Somalia & N Kenya that has been decimated by climate change driven drought.
I am finding it hard to process what I witnessed or the magnitude and speed at which this tragedy is unfolding.

We drove for two hours along a ādirt trackā to reach an isolated community - but even that description is overly positive - if that was a ātrackā then my local country lane is a motorway.
There is nothing -no buildings, no communications.
The riverbed is dry.

Before the drought this land was teeming with cattle, goats, camels etc. Pastoralists relied on their animals for food & income. Now the land is brown & most of the animals have died.
All they have is a weekly visit from a mobile health unit held under the only large tree

NEW: Asked by @SophyRidgeSky if he's "comfortable" with a 60% cut in #UKAid funding to @UNICEF āfalling on the shoulders of childrenā, @DominicRaab says "I've found the process of making those savings v difficult" but UK's still spending Ā£1.3b on global public health projects 1/
Foreign Secretary repeats the government's reasoning for slashing UK overseas aid by Ā£4b+ because of economic squeeze from pandemic, saying UK is still spending Ā£10b on aid & is 3rd largest donor in @G7. He also insists spending is being done "with a more strategic approach" 2/
Asked if cuts are designed to minimise the harm, @DominicRaab says: "What I did at the start of the process is to set seven priorities from climate finance and climate change through to humanitarian support and relief and made sure rather than salami slicing budgets... 3/
NEW: The UK plans to cut funding by 60% to the United Nations children's agency (@UNICEF) & to its global development programme (@UNDP) in a move that will have "serious consequences" for vulnerable children & cost lives, the organisations warn

Director of advocacy for @UNICEF_uk - @jo_rea - said she understood @BorisJohnson's government had to make difficult choices on where to spend a reduced overseas aid budget.
"But we were hoping that these cuts would not fall on the shoulders of the world's children." 2/

. @UlrikaModeer of the United Nations Development Programme (@UNDP), said the funding cut would be particularly harmful during a pandemic. "It is like cutting the lifeline to people & countries that are in the midst of the worst crisis that they have experienced." 3/
BREAKING: The United Nations childrenās agency (@UNICEF) has warned of āserious consequencesā for vulnerable infants around the world after learning that the UK plans to shrink its core funding by around 60% as part of sweeping cuts to the #UKAid budget 1/
Such funding enabled @UNICEF to respond swiftly to the most pressing āeducation, protection & health needsā of children impacted by COVID19 last year, the organisation said on its website. āAny cuts to these funds will have serious consequences for childrenā 2/
UNICEF said @FCDOGovUK had informed it on Friday of the planned reduction in core funding. I understand the agency was told to expect to receive Ā£16mln this year down from Ā£40mln in 2020
āWe are deeply concerned by this decision,ā UNICEF said. 3/

So we know the @FCDOGovUK has to make tough choices. But the 80% cut of water sanitation and hygiene aid makes no sense on a number of levels. š§µ
1ļøā£ Itās madness in the midst of a pandemic to cut coverage of a proven public health measure for combatting COVID, and for Ebola that has re-emerged in West Africa as @sallyhayd reports irishtimes.com/news/world/afrā¦

(2/6) Over the year we have:
- Published 277 pieces of written evidence and 60 items of correspondence.

(3/6) In our inquiry into the effectiveness of #UKaid we emphasised the importance of keeping poverty reduction as a key pillar of the UKās aid strategy. We urge the Government to consider this when it publishes its new international development strategy.
š§µ As we race towards the end of a really tough year I thought Iād do a thread for the campaigners - the people who believe we can organise our way past any problem. Weāre normally right and thatās both our superpower and our greatest weakness. This year we hit a wall. Hard.
I donāt think the activist community gave ourselves a whole heap of time to process, we just got to work. I love us for it, but if youāre trying to carve out some time to think about the year and campaigns ahead here are some resources and reflections in the hope they help.
This is one of the best bits of analysis I read all year, about what changemakers need to learn about power. If youāre in organising, philanthropy, politics, advocacy or think tanks I think youāll like it a lot. niskanencenter.org/what-democratsā¦
A thread for everybody interested in whether @BorisJohnson and @RishiSunak are intent on breaking a manifesto promise from the @Conservatives to both the country and some of the poorest people in the world and cutting our life-saving, world-changing #UKAid.
The view from the @CBItweets and the International Chambers of Commerce. Cuts to #UKAid would āhamper gains made on social and economic development, which are prerequisites for businesses to trade". ft.com/content/d0e3f6ā¦
The moral case for keeping to 0.7% on #UKAid as made by the Archbishop of Canterbury. "We mustnāt limit our concept of neighbour simply to those close by to us. We need to heed that message in the tough times as well as the good". theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/nā¦
Here we go, Boris Johnson announcing the abolition of #DfiD in parliament right now. This is what extreme of Tory party has always wanted. It will make #UKAid formally subservient to the projection of British power globally (1/3)
For years, Tory governments have used UKAid to serve the interests of British finance, business and military interests. This will cement that. A very sad day which confirms global Britain = Empire 2.0.
Even former Tory DfiD minister Andrew Mitchell said: 'Boris is a bit like a medieval pirate, whose eyes have alighted on this plump Spanish galleon and he wants to board it and plunder it.' Correct. leftfootforward.org/2019/07/why-boā¦
