#KeepThePromise (November 2022 - February 2023):
- Compared to 2022, the overall international assistance funding was cut by $1.3 billion in Budget 2023 – a 15% cut.
- This means that the Government failed to #KeepthePromise it made to increase international aid every year.
- There are no new announcements for international development in this budget. The commitments it includes were already announced last year.
- The decision by the government to decrease international aid comes amidst a world facing multiple crises around climate change, hunger, conflict, and an erosion of human rights and democratic values.
