Forus hosted the interactive session: Data-Based Narrative: Shaping ODA and Global Cooperation, creating a dynamic space to explore how CSOs are leveraging data to strengthen communication, advocacy, and public engagement. The latest unprecedented 23.1% cut in global Official Development Assistance (ODA) is already affecting some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. At the same time, public support for aid and international cooperation is being challenged by misinformation, polarisation, and simplified narratives that weaken trust in global solidarity. Key topics in the webinar included: - How data can help us better understand public attitudes toward ODA and global cooperation - How to communicate the human impact of aid cuts on people and communities - How to translate data into stronger communication and advocacy strategies - Examples from Forus members and partners on approaches to public engagement and international solidarity With Dochas, La Coordinadora, Coordination SUD, UNNGOF, CNCD 11.11.11 and more!
