RINGO Submission: Evidence to the UK Parliament International Development Committee

In Octo­ber 2025, the RINGO Project sub­mit­ted writ­ten evi­dence to the UK Parliament’s Inter­na­tion­al Devel­op­ment Com­mit­tee’s inquiry on the future of UK aid and devel­op­ment assis­tance. We are urg­ing a rethink of UK aid pri­or­i­ties in light of glob­al fund­ing cuts and shift­ing devel­op­ment needs.

The sub­mis­sion empha­sised that reduced aid bud­gets risk under­min­ing the UK’s influ­ence unless they are realigned to sup­port local­ly-led civ­il soci­ety and flex­i­ble, long-term fund­ing that allows organ­i­sa­tions in the Major­i­ty World to meet the needs of their com­mu­ni­ties and dri­ve sus­tain­able devel­op­ment.
