Dear Mr. Staur,
We write to you today as current and former coordinators of a diverse coalition of civil society organizations from the global south and north, calling for a fundamental overhaul of the global development architecture — one that prioritizes the voices, leadership, and experiences of countries in the global south.
The current system has allowed the slashing of official development assistance budgets and the abandonment of long-standing aid and development commitments across the donor landscape without warning or recourse, putting countries in the global south in a perilous situation. This is why this system must be replaced.
