The UK, Germany and Canada have slashed foreign aid this year, deepening damage done by US cuts, analysis shows
London CNN — Western countries have slashed foreign aid budgets this year and reductions will steepen in 2026, with the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Canada cutting the most, according to a new analysis from the Center for Global Development (CGD). The aid cuts will mean 'significant losses' for many developing nations, according to the analysis from the DC-based think tank, shared exclusively with CNN. Ethiopia is projected to lose the most aid in nominal terms, with Jordan, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo also hit particularly hard. Smaller nations will also be hammered by the reduction in foreign aid, with Lesotho, Micronesia and Eswatini each losing around 50 percent of their aid. 'It's setting fire to the bold ambitions to solve poverty and transform developing countries,' Lee Crawfurd, one of the authors of the report, told CNN. 'It's some of the poorest, most fragile places in the world that are going to be hardest hit.' The analysis looked at projections of bilateral aid – money provided directly to another country rather than routed through multilateral organizations such as United Nations agencies or the World Bank – for 2025 and 2026. The US is projected to cut the most, with a projected 56 percent reduction compared to levels two years ago. The Trump administration's gutting of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) earlier this year has already left a hole in many international aid budgets, and several other Western nations are following suit rather than filling the void. 'A big, big chunk of overall cuts in the next couple of years are going to be from the US pulling out, rather than other countries. But these other countries are making things worse,' said Crawfurd, a senior research fellow at the CGD. The UK aid cuts are estimated to represent a roughly 39 percent reduction compared to 2023 levels of spending. Meanwhile, Germany is cutting about 27 percent, Canada 25 percent and France 19 percent of their international aid budgets. The true level of aid cuts remains unclear, as the Trump administration's proposed budget and other government proposals are still making their way through legislatures. But some funding cuts are almost guaranteed. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced in February that his government would increase the UK's defense spending by cutting its aid budget to 0.3 percent of gross national income in 2027, its lowest level since 1999. Many organizations and aid workers have raised alarm about European governments pitting aid budgets against defense spending. 'Cutting the already lean aid budget is a false economy and will only increase division and amounts to a betrayal of the world's most vulnerable people,' said Halima Begum, head of Oxfam GB. 'It is a false dichotomy to pit international cooperation to tackle poverty against national security interests in order to avoid tax increases.' A sign for GIZ, Germany's international development agency, is seen in February 2017. Michael Gottschalk/Photothek/Getty Images Crawfurd said that bilateral aid is a 'really small part of government budgets' and the money for defense or security could be found elsewhere. 'It's a choice… it's a political choice,' he added. The think tank wrote in its analysis that 'one striking takeaway is that some countries are projected to lose large amounts of ODA (official development assistance) simply because of who their main donors are – while others are projected to lose very little' – a game of chance, with losses not matching up to the recipient country's needs. Yemen, for example, is projected to experience a 19 percent fall in its bilateral funding compared to 2023, while its 'comparable' neighbor country Somalia is projected to lose about 39 percent. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has also warned that multilateral aid cuts are threatening efforts to tackle 44 of the highest-priority, protracted humanitarian crises. As of April, only 11.9 percent of the funding for UN response plans had been covered. 'Every year, the UN has been helping more than 100 million people in the world as they go through the worst time of their lives in wars and disasters. But let's be clear: we won't reach the level of funding in 2025 that we've seen in previous years,' Anja Nitzsche, OCHA's chief of partnerships and resource mobilization told CNN in a statement. 'Vulnerable families are being left without food, clean water, healthcare, shelter or protection in places such as Sudan, Yemen, Ukraine, Myanmar and Afghanistan.' Minimizing the damage The CGD is urging Western donors to reallocate aid to the poorest countries to try to 'ensure that resources are directed to populations in greatest need.' Western countries also need to improve coordination to mitigate further damage, especially as they are withdrawing from countries receiving aid, the think tank said. In some countries, the cuts will change who the largest donor is, which 'can lead to major shifts in what gets funded and how,' according to the CGD. For example, Portugal will likely overtake the US in aid to Angola, and Japan is projected to overtake France in Egypt. 'A new lead donor may not continue the same programs' or may take time to get up and running, according to the analysis. Giving a larger share of aid to multilateral organizations can also help improve international cooperation and cut down on duplication of aid efforts. 'Coordination is an ongoing challenge,' Crawfurd told CNN. 'The easiest way to do that is just to fund big multilateral funds like the World Bank.'

A New Community Platform Launches in the UAE in Support of the Short-Term Rental & Experience Economy - Middle East Business News and Information
Newly launched UAE community platform, Short Stay Circle , looks to connect short-term rental hosts, experience brands, and service providers to improve the guest experience across the country. A new chapter in UAE hospitality has launched with the arrival of Short Stay Circle , a purpose-driven community platform designed to connect short-term rental hosts, experience-led brands, and service providers across the UAE. Officially debuting with its first pilot event at the iconic Mama Shelter Dubai on June 25th, Short Stay Circle is on a mission to foster real collaboration, commercial growth, and elevated guest experiences through intentional networking and knowledge exchange. Curated by Katherine Read, founder of Dubai-based concierge service, The Holiday Mode , the initiative aims to unite short-term rental hosts, hospitality brands, and service providers, having observed a glaring disconnect across industries all serving the same end user: the guest. 'So many brands are innovating within their lane,' Read explains, 'but there was no collective space for them to connect. That realisation became the catalyst for the Short Stay Circle.' Short Stay Circle was born from a simple observation: while the short-stay space is booming in the UAE, the key players often operate in silos. The platform is designed to bridge that gap, connecting landlords, experience brands, cleaning and furnishing services, tech platforms, and more, with the guest experience at the centre. Short Stay Circle aims to amplify the impact of industry players by encouraging collaboration over competition and helping members unlock new commercial opportunities. To mark its official launch, Short Stay Circle is hosting its first event on June 25th at Mama Shelter Dubai. The panel discussion, titled 'Collaborate to Elevate: Raising the Bar for Sustainable Stays & Experiences' , will bring together four standout voices from across the UAE guest experience landscape, including Farida Ahmed , Co-Founder & General Manager, Frying Pan Adventures , Sandy Muirhead , Director, No More Bottles , Giulia Figliuzzi , Group Director, Hero Experiences and Lauren Hamilton , Founder & GM, Ride Skipper . 'This isn't just another networking event,' continues Read. 'We have curated the room with purpose. It is about conversations that lead somewhere. If you are here, you are likely walking away with a connection that changes something for your business.' Short Stay Circle's long-term vision is to become a region-wide, membership-based platform that elevates professional development while improving the overall guest experience. By facilitating smarter partnerships, shared learning, and better visibility for standout brands, the platform hopes to reshape how short-stay businesses grow and collaborate in the UAE. A second event is confirmed for September, with more activations planned throughout the year.

Short Stay Circle Launch Evening What: Launch of Short Stay Circle with a dedicated panel, titled ' Collaborate to Elevate: Raising the Bar for Sustainable Stays & Experiences' Where: Mama Shelter Dubai, Business Bay When: Wednesday, 25 June 2025, 7 PM to 10 PM Who Should Attend: Short-stay hosts, hospitality brands, experience providers, service operators, and professionals in the guest experience space.
