Main moments
Global aid is at a turning point. Norway should show the world that it is possible to maintain a high level of assistance while placing high demands on cost-effectiveness and results — there is no contradiction between solidarity and hard prioritization. After major global aid cuts, it is necessary to rethink where Norwegian aid can make the most difference.
Long Term supports all three proposals in the Representative Bill. In this entry, we outline concrete structural measures that we believe are necessary for their successful implementation.
