3. Partners help most when they line up behind the government's own plan. Fifty parallel projects, each well designed, can leave the state weaker than they found it.

None of this is unique to Haiti. Wherever institutions are under strain, sequencing and discipline count for more than ambition. Countries that get this right deserve partners who follow their lead.

$685 billion: what workers abroad sent home to low- and middle-income countries in 2024. More than foreign direct investment and official aid combined (World Bank). The diaspora is already a leading financier of development. Financial products built for it are still rare.

Each concessional dollar in blended finance mobilised $5.33 last year, up from $4.14. Yet sub-Saharan Africa's volume fell 46%, to $4.6bn, and it lost its lead for the first time in a decade. The bottleneck isn't capital. It's country-led pipelines. #FinancingForDevelopment #BlendedFinance #Africa

I trained as a doctor before I worked on policy. Medicine judges you by whether the patient gets better, not by the elegance of the diagnosis. Development deserves the same test. I'll write here on how delivery happens in hard places. Views my own.

1/ Peace is not built only at negotiating tables or when crisis strikes. It is built every day, through trust between communities, institutions that work for people and the ability to disagree without turning difference into division. #PeaceDay #InvestInPeace

This is a powerful milestone and congratulations to all the 11 countries. I am proud of Team #Rwanda for the strong leadership of Government and the active engagement of communities and civil society and the collective push for integration at the primary health care level. The focus now is to ensure #Kenya and #SouthSudan join this league of high-performing countries. In Kenya, we are working with government and partners to close the remaining gaps in testing, treatment and viral suppression, while strengthening prevention, integration and sustainability. The triple threat (HIV, early pregnancy and sexual/gender-based violence) is a high priority for government. For South Sudan, the priority is to expand access and continuity of HIV services despite the profound humanitarian and system challenges. The recent grant-making process in-country for the Global Fund GC8 and the mini-MOU with the US Government have prioritized self-reliance and sustainability through domestic investments to strengthen the health system and community systems for impact and towards the attainment of UHC. The ambition is clear: 95-95-95 for every population, in every setting, and no one left behind.
Good news! 11 countries have achieved the 95-95-95 HIV testing and treatment targets in 2025! Despite the progress, disparities continue to exist: between men and women, and children and adults. Ending AIDS requires achieving the targets across all populations. unaids.org/en/resources/docu…

Electoral security is everyone's mandate. At today's High-Level Roundtable on Election Security, @UNDPKenya's Resident Representative @JLStalon, stressed that safeguarding Kenya's democracy requires early, multi-agency coordination to navigate emerging risks. Together with our partners, we continue to support the Enhanced Security Arrangements Programme (ESAP) alongside @IEBCKenya, the National Police Service, and civil society to uphold the constitutional promise of violence-free elections. Together, we are advancing #SDG16 to ensure a peaceful, just, and inclusive 2027 General Election. 🇰🇪🕊️ @NPSOfficial_KE @UKinKenya @NCIC_Kenya @ORPPKenya @CA_Kenya #2027GE #ElectionsKE #PeacefulElections #UNDPKenya
