Draws attention to the steadily worsening context in which the Union’s development and humanitarian aid policies are conducted, characterised in particular by the COVID pandemic, the relentless aggravation of the impacts of climate change and the mounting repercussions of Russia’s war in Ukraine~~; notes the ever- growing gap between~~, and, on the African continent in particular, the persistence or indeed worsening of certain conflicts, including those involving Islamic terrorist groups, as is the case in the Sahel; notes the importance of maintaining the funds needed and ~~those~~funds available to respond to the deepening hunger, debt – in particular the African debt held by China – and other crises and to halt the ongoing movement further away from the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) instead of towards them; Amendment 10 # Erik MARQUARDT, Michèle RIVASI Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Deplores the absence of the move ~~“from billions to trillions” in financing for development~~to fill the ODA financing gap recognised as necessary when the SDGs were adopted in 2015; notes the urgency of mobilising ~~much more of the world’s privately held resources, through investment promotion~~additional financial resources to fill the ODA gap , through sustainable investment to the benefit of climate, the environment and local economies of partner countries in the Global South and more effective taxation of foreign investors, but also of scaling up public financing for development, in accordance with international commitments on levels the Union remains far from; Amendment 11 # Dominique BILDE Draft opinion Paragraph 2 a (new) 2a. Stresses that official development assistance can no longer constitute the sole or main development policy tool supporting less-developed countries in particular, and that it is urgent that innovative solutions be deployed to mobilise, in particular, the private funds which migrants or members of diasporas send back home, since these remittances would represent 'over three times the amount of official development assistance (ODA) and foreign direct investment (FDI) combined' and have the potential to contribute to the development of rural and remote areas;1a _________________ 1a https://www.un.org/development/desa/en/ news/population/remittances-matter.html Amendment 12 # Erik MARQUARDT, Michèle RIVASI Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3.
