The Covid-19 pandemic is driving significant increases in poverty and the poorest people and places are being impacted hardest. We face an unprecedented global challenge that requires us to come together to call for and deliver action that means people are not being left behind as we respond to the ongoing effects of the crisis and seek to build back better. The DAC High-level Meeting is an opportunity to ensure development leaders strengthen their commitments to ODA – a vital resource to protect and support for the world’s poorest people, and highlight the need for a more coherent approach to global cooperation to ensure effective joined-up responses to crisis and sustainable development.
