“We will not turn our backs on those overseas who need assistance – keeping our promise to countries across the Global South to grow our international development budget to £15 million per annum and providing £1 million for humanitarian crises.” #ScotPfG

🚨Writing for The National, @JohnSwinney says he has written to Keir Starmer to help facilitate medical evacuations of injured Gazan children to Scotland "Scotland's world-class NHS stands ready to play our full part in their treatment" ✍️ thenational.scot/politics/25302…

External Affairs Secretary @AngusRobertson celebrated a proud milestone for the #MalDentProject; the graduation of Malawi’s first home-trained dentists, supported by funding from @scotgov. ▶️ ow.ly/iOM450W472A

Malawi is celebrating its first students to graduate with a dental degree thanks to a “milestone” project backed by the Scottish Government 👏 thenational.scot/news/25189561.…

Dorcus, who received support through this project, explained: “The cash transfer respected our ability to make decisions for ourselves even during a crisis. This respect meant as much to me as the assistance itself.”

Marvis, whose family was supported by our partners, said: “The cash came when we had nothing left. My children hadn't eaten a proper meal in days. I was losing hope, but then the transfer came. It was like rain after a long drought. It came when we were at our breaking point.”

With £310,000 from @ScotGovID's Humanitarian Emergency Fund, cash transfers were provided to nearly 4,500 families in Zambia who were suffering from severe drought. 📸: Imelda and Maureen, farmers in Zambia, 2024
