As aid budgets decline, the ways rich countries are driving development are more important than ever. 🌟NEW: @cgdev.org’s Commitment to Development Index ranks the world’s richest nations, spotlighting impacts on the poorest & where nations can step up ⬇️🧵#CDI2025 go.cgdev.org/49ZJoD5

24 countries are doing less to accelerate international development than in 2023 according to key indicators, with just 11 countries acting more internationally.🌍📉#CDI2025

Most countries are giving less finance for development than in 2023. Fewer are channeling funds through multilateral organizations, and aid is increasingly directed away from the poorest countries.💰📉

The United States fell two places to 28th.⬇️ Even before steep aid cuts take effect, the US’s effort was falling with rising emissions pushing it further down the rankings.

The United Kingdom 🇬🇧 climbed two places to 5th, but its standing reflects aid levels before the government’s planned 40 percent budget cuts, suggesting that a steep fall is likely in future editions.
