Good meeting with Ambassador Mouctar Abakar, Chad’s Permanent Representative to the UN. Chad Connection 2030 sets a clear national ambition. @UNDP is working to help deliver it and move from transition to development. I look forward to visiting N’Djamena later this year.

Always energising to exchange ideas with @micksheldrick of @GlblCtzn. We discussed how development creates jobs, accelerates the energy transition and helps countries withstand crisis. Difficult times make this work harder. They also make it more urgent.

The earthquake in Colombia has caused devastating loss. My thoughts are with all those affected. With partners, @UNDP is on the ground supporting the response, while our team helps identify where support is needed most.

In my first few months at @UNDP, I’ve met young people from across the world. Different contexts. The same priorities: Decent jobs. Opportunities. A real say in decisions shaping their lives. Our job is to give them a voice, funding & a route into decision-making. #YouthDay

Development cannot be built on aid alone. It needs investment, innovation & new private sector partnerships. @UNDP helps countries create conditions to attract capital that drive jobs, growth & lasting impact. Great discussion w. Jim Kelly & Tulsi Caughell of @DFCgov.
