Across Africa’s drylands, communities are restoring land and hope.🌱 In this article, our EU Partnerships Specialist Lisa Nowag shares insights on Regreening Africa, a major EU-funded initiative where World Vision is one of the implementing partners. www.wvi.org/stories/worl...

This is the time to make the right decision and the smartest investment in the next #EUBudget: investing in children. ❌ Not investing in children: $163B loss in children's futures, health & education. ✅Investing in children: $10 for every $1 spent. www.wvi.org/publications...

🚨New World Vision's report shows that less aid to children could lead to $163B loss in their futures, health & education. "There's no business case, no moral argument, no development goal that justifies walking away from investing in children." - Dana Buzducea, our Global Lead for Advocacy.

Today marks the start of @eu2025dk.bsky.social. With #EUbudget negotiations underway, Denmark can help ensure the EU stays a global leader in development & humanitarian aid - especially via ambitious investments in children. At @worldvisioneu.bsky.social, we’re ready to collaborate. Vi glæder os!

Hosted by World Vision & the Government of Ireland. As world leaders gather in Seville for the #FFD4, a critical question emerges: Are current financing mechanisms delivering for children? On 2 July at 8:30am CET. @gov.ie @worldvisioneu.bsky.social @worldvisionuk.bsky.social #FFD4Sevilla

🔔New position paper out! As #MFF negotiations begin, the EU has both a big opportunity and a clear responsibility to invest in children. This is a smart investment in a safer, prosperous, and stable world for all. Full position paper: joining-forces.org/publications...

As global food insecurity rises, displaced families are particularly hit. As the EU begins shaping the new #EUbudget, it must consider the impact of reduced food assistance, with children often paying the highest price. World Vision & @wfp.org study⬇️ www.wvi.org/publication/... #WorldRefugeeDay

🏛️ The Colosseum has stood for 2,000 years. Europe's next budget must do the same: ✔️ Invest in global development ❌ Don’t merge key tools Build it to last. #EUbudget #ArchitectsOfEurope #MFF Read why we think merging the EU’s external action budgets is risky: www.mffhub.org/resources/cs...

In this article⤵️, Lilian Dodzo, World Vision East Africa, highlighted the reasons why the EU must invest in children’s access to protection & education in emergencies: 🔸They are life-saving aid, 🔸help build more prosperous & stable societies, 🔸limit forced displacement. www.wvi.org/europeanhuma...

💡€1 in prevention can save €100 in crisis response. Let’s stop patching up problems and start building real resilience. A secure Europe invests in stability abroad. Check out our website: www.mffhub.org #EUbudget #ArchitectsOfEurope

Europe thrives when it opens doors, not closes them. The Charles Bridge once connected distant economies, just like smart EU investments today. A prosperous Europe needs global partnerships, especially in Africa. Check out our website: mffhub.org #ArchitectsOfEurope

🚀 Launching! #ArchitectsOfEurope Like the Eiffel Tower, Europe’s future needs bold plans & strong foundations. We’re calling for €200B in smart global investments to build resilience. #EUbudget - let’s build it right. See our key recommendations: www.mffhub.org/resources/bu...

Important talks with the Cabinet of @martakos.ec.europa.eu on how to place children at the heart of EU enlargement, where we put forward proposals like making child care reform an accession condition, and providing predictable support to countries. EU enlargement must deliver for children too. 💪

Europe’s greatest landmarks started as bold ideas. Now it’s our turn. As EU leaders draft the next #EUbudget, they face a choice: build bridges with global partners or retreat. The MFF Hub is launching a campaign to invest in shared futures.🔗Join now: www.mffhub.org#join

Happening now: conference in London on the two-year anniversary of the conflict in #Sudan. In Sudan and neighbouring countries, there's an urgent need for unimpeded and sustainable access to life-saving aid and to meet the needs of vulnerable populations, including children.

The EU has played a key role in ensuring crisis-affected children have access to safe quality education. This letter⤵️, also signed by Andrew Morley, World Vision President & CEO, highlights how the EU's leadership is crucial so that no child is out of school. www.wvi.org/publications...

At #N4GParis, Team Europe pledged €6.5B, including the @ec.europa.eu's €3.4B. This is a significant step forward. Clarity & transparency on the how & when of the funding will be key to turning pledges into impact. Generation Nutrition's reaction⤵️ www.wvi.org/publications...

At the @europarl.europa.eu DEVE + AFET meeting, World Vision's Abraham Mabior asked MEPs to help ensure the EU 🔸Carries out renewed diplomacy and engagement for peace; 🔸Allocates sustained and flexible humanitarian funding; 🔸Keeps South Sudan on the global agenda.

Today, World Vision's Abraham Mabior was invited to speak about the humanitarian situation in #SouthSudan at the @europarl.europa.eu DEVE + AFET meeting. "Today I am speaking to you not only as World Vision staff but as South Sudanese myself at a time (...) of escalation of tensions."

Another highlight from #N4GParis: Generation Nutrition's high-level discussion.⤵️ Speakers discussed the role of the EU as a global leader in tackling malnutrition. @barryandrewsmep.bsky.social, "We're proud to have the new EU pledge but we need political as well as financial commitments."

Good news at #NG4Paris - the EU commits €3.4 billion to combat malnutrition globally! "We have the power to change this (the current global state of hunger and malnutrition), and above all, we have the responsibility" - @hadjalahbib.bsky.social, DG ECHO Commissioner, @ec.europa.eu. #N4G #N4G2025

"Young people are not only the future, they are the leaders of today." Marjeta Jager, DG INTPA, @ec.europa.eu, at World Vision's roundtable, co-hosted with the Irish Gov & Irish Aid, at the Irish Embassy in France. Diverse voices joined the event, united by a shared goal: ending malnutrition. #N4G

"We will never shift the dialogue acting alone" - said Mary McCarthy, Irish PermRep to the EU, at our event on girls' malnutrition last week. As leaders gather in Paris for #N4G, now is the time to push for bold, collective action to tackle food insecurity and malnutrition. #ENOUGH
