Amendment

24 a. Expresses its concern that the Global Gateway initiative could lead to a progressive shift of priorities and resources from development policies to the interests of the private sector. Points out that Article 208 of the TFEU defines the primary objective of EU development policies as ‘the reduction and, in the long term, the eradication of poverty, particularly in the least developed countries’. Therefore considers it essential to ensure the prevalence of the public interest and to prioritise interventions aimed at supporting populations in fragile and conflict-affected Countries, in Low-Income Countries (LICs) and in Least Developed Countries (LDCs);

SDG 18 – Combat Corruption and Promote Transparent GovernanceCalls for the creation of a new SDG on fighting corruption and promoting transparent governance. This will address directly the root cause of development failures and amplify the impact of the existing 17 goals. By prioritizing the elimination of corruption, the global community can ensure that financial resources in developing countries are not squandered, paving the way for equitable, sustainable progress by 2035.This action requires the following targets and proposals:1. Strengthen Anti-Corruption Institutions - Establish independent anti-corruption agencies in all countries by 2030;2. Enhance Financial Transparency - Mandate public disclosure of government budgets, procurement processes, and foreign aid allocations by 2032, using digital platforms accessible to citizens;3. Recover and Redirect Stolen Assets - Create an international framework by 2033 to recover assets stolen through corruption, with at least 50% of recovered funds reinvested into education (SDG 4) and healthcare (SDG 3) in affected countries.
