Johanniter International Assistance’s Post

"There is no #NoTimeForCuts in international cooperation!"   This is the key message of the letter signed by the German WASH Network, of which we are a member, along with 29 other organizations, and sent to German Finance Minister Christian Lindner.   The letter continues: "The budget currently planned by the German Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) for the financing of international development cooperation, #humanrights work and #humanitarianaid by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO) falls far short of what is needed to ensure the effective pursuit of safe and affordable access to clean drinking water, adequate sanitation and hygiene (WASH), the improved realization of human rights and an adequate response to the current climate and humanitarian crises. [...] We therefore call for #WASH to be re-prioritized in German #developmentcooperation in the short, medium and long term and for sufficient budgetary resources to be made available to finance WASH activities."
