The Ebola outbreak shows just how essential global health preparedness is. We call for the EU & int. community to increase funding for the Ebola response. That means medical personnel deployment, equipment and testing capacity, and increased funding to protect people.
Progress on UN Sustainable Development Goals is severely off track, facing a $4 trillion annual investment gap. With global challenges rising & international funding shifts, EU Parliament is calling for stronger EU leadership & ambitious commitments in the next long-term budget.

#AfricaDays showed us once more that in a world of increasing political tensions, it is crucial to keep the line open with those who not only know the reality on the ground, but who actually get things moving. @udobullmann.bsky.social on why Africa Days will remain central in our work.
Time to reflect on the main lessons and ideas that emerged during #AfricaDays. We discuss how to translate dialogue into action and how to continue building a partnership grounded in equality, solidarity, democratic participation & shared prosperity. 🔴www.socialistsanddemocrats.eu

Grateful for the important insights into Belgian and European colonial history, which, unfortunately, shows its effects still today.
