🪧 Was great to brave the heat today and march with @itpc.bsky.social and @gfanafrica.bsky.social colleagues at the Seville #FfD4 to demand strong community engagement in these high level international development discussions.

#CommunitiesAreExperts

Strong words by @globaltaxjustice.org Chenai Mukumba criticising the poor outreach and engagement of civil society by the #FfD4 process and conference.

Great to see @gfanafrica.bsky.social at the #FfD4 conference in Seville pushing the message that Communities NEED to be ta the haear tof international development decision making

#NothingForUsWithoutUs

❗️ Although there are speakers from a huge range of sectors in Seville for #FfD4 conferences, a clear theme is alarm at the deliberate rollback of civil society engagement— this sets a dangerous precident for future international development discussions.

#NothingForUsWithoutUs

Great as always to see @3rdworldnetwork.bsky.social arguing about the gross inequalities between Global North and South which have been maintained in the Seville #FfD4 political declaration.

Equidad de Genero's Luisa Emilia strongly critical of how the EU has blocked equitable finance reform and references to the Genocide in Gaza within the Seville declaration. #FfD4

Strong criticism at the #Ff4D CSO forum on the way communities have been excluded and shut out of formal meetings for the Seville declaration; we know from decades of the HIV response that community leadership is essential if we want to advance international development.

#NothingForUsWithoutUs

Looking forward to the discussions at the #FfD4 Civil Society Forum that are about to kick of this afternoon; it's vital that CSO and community voices are engaged when these important financing decisions are being made.

#CommunitiesAreExperts

📢 Looking forward to joining the @itpc.bsky.social protest this weekend at the #FfD4 financing conference in Seville. The lack of global health as a priority at the conference is appalling; it shows yet again that communities NEED to be at the table when decisions are made.

#CommunitiesAreExperts

Looking forward to attending the #Ff4D development financing conference this week in Seville on behalf of @frontlineaids.bsky.social and alongside other CSOs; bracing for the weather ☀️
