The ONE Campaign

North America: In 2024, ONE's U.S. team achieved meaningful progress across key advocacy priorities that make the world more stable and secure and help promote healthy lives and economic opportunity in Africa. Despite significant challenges - such as proposed cuts to the foreign aid budget - ONE US led strong, coordinated efforts to defend and protect critical US foreign assistance programs. (Continued on Schedule O)ONE US also played a pivotal role in global financing efforts, helping to secure a historic pledge for Gavi's 6th replenishment and facilitating a $4 billion US commitment to the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA21). Throughout the year, ONE US remained focused on building bipartisan support in Congress, cultivating new legislative champions, and strengthening long-term backing for U.S. global development initiatives. In 2024, ONE Canada deepened its policy engagement, focusing on shifting narratives and strengthening partnerships to drive meaningful progress. Our efforts helped secure a record $1.46 billion Canadian pledge to the World Bank's IDA and laid the groundwork for a $650 million Gavi commitment. We amplified the call for a robust Canada-Africa Strategy, resulting in the strategy's release in early 2025 - though it lacked ambition on development spending. We launched our first Global Activist Program with 35 advocates from nine provinces, while building stronger ties with diaspora communities through events like the Future Canada-Africa Strategic Dialogue. By reframing our advocacy around mutual benefit and economic partnership, we gained broader traction across government and public channels - even as fiscal and political uncertainty posed challenges. Our work on MDB reforms and SDR rechanneling positioned Canada as a leading voice, and our narrative-driven campaigns helped push Canada's global engagement in a more strategic, impactful direction.

Europe: In Europe, our efforts were focused on increasing financing for healthy lives and economic opportunity in Africa. This included advocacy for a strong ODA budget across our markets and specifically for the replenishments of results-driven programs like the World Bank's International Development Association, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria.(Continued on Schedule O)Across Europe, we advocated for a strong investment in these programs and increased partnership between Europe and Africa. Specific activities include: * In France, after announced cuts to the development budget, our efforts focused on advocating for programs that make the world more stable and promote healthier lives and economic opportunities. We deployed a public-facing campaign, using op-eds, media ads, and social media to highlight the issue and promote the Financial Transaction Tax as a solution. * In Italy, we linked the Africa Strategy and Gavi through a letter to Ministers Giorgetti and Tajani, co-signed by 60 Italian and African activists urging stronger global health leadership and equal partnership with Africa, supported by blogs and social media outreach.* ONE Germany's 2024 efforts centered on strengthening support for development cooperation and global health. Highlights include high-level advocacy at the Munich Security Conference, impactful public stunts like a 20-meter facts carpet outside Parliament, and a successful poster campaign making the case for global health investments, which engaged 44 MPs. ONE hosted influential sessions at the World Health Summit and Hamburg Sustainability Conference, co-hosted a parliamentary breakfast with World Bank President Ajay Banga, and led a field trip to Rwanda for German parliamentary staffers to showcase the impact of Gavi, the Global Fund, and the World Bank.* In the UK, ONE focused on reasserting the importance of British leadership in global development, amidst ongoing pressures on the aid budget. Strategic media interventionsincluding essays, op-eds, and partnerships with influential outletsunderscored the value of global health investments and British scientific innovation. Collaborative campaigns, such as the "Empty Plates" hunger initiative and a global health essay series, amplified calls for renewed multilateral action and investment in solutions rooted in partnership with the Global South.Our Youth Ambassadors continue to play a key role to rally champions for this work, including in the Netherlands, where we partnered with seven youth parties, co-signed a letter with Youth Ambassadors, delivered it to 13 MPs9 of whom joined as co-signersand sent it to the Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. In Germany, Youth Ambassadors met with over 20 MPs to push for increased development funding. In the European Union, we mobilized Youth Ambassadors to secure support from MEPs for a stronger EU external budget and global health initiatives.In the UK, we coordinated grassroots engagement through our network of Youth Ambassadors and activists, supporting public outreach events and organizing candidate hustings nationwide.
