Your monthly news quiz is here! August 2025 in the global development sector was largely shaped by significant events: high-level conferences, new reports detailing critical challenges, and the continuing impact of global trends, especially a notable decrease in foreign aid. Declines in official development assistance and the urgent need for new and innovative climate financing were recurring themes in August. Beyond funding cuts, humanitarian crises persist, with famine officially declared in the Gaza Strip.
