## Resource

Germany’s top aid groups sound the alarm: global development aid is in crisis, with slashed funding, weak political will, and a dangerous drift from humanitarian principles. Their new report “Kompass 2026” warns that without bold, inclusive strategies—especially involving young voices from the Global South—millions will be left behind as conflicts surge and military spending soars. While a new North-South Commission promises collaboration, critics see it as window dressing for profit over people. The call? Germany must lead with integrated, long-term funding and use its influence to defend international law and save lives. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
