FARM-Africa backs campaign to make this election count for the world’s poor

As a great many new MPs are likely to be elected at the upcoming election, it is up to us to convince them that world poverty and climate change are issues worth addressing. The Vote Global manifesto, launched on World Poverty Day, is packed with ideas for the next government to solve these issues.

It has five sections: More and better aid and debt relief, Tackling climate change, Making the global economy work for the poor, Good governance and addressing corruption, and Responding to conflict situations. 

Each of the political parties fighting the forthcoming election has a duty to work in the interests of the most vulnerable in our global society. We all have a responsibility to make sure they do. We all have an important duty to make sure that the UK plays a direct role in tackling global poverty.
