@manoj_naandi @arakucoffeein @arakucoffee Blending top notch coffee and augmenting farmers incomes is indeed an achievement- sixth of that class in a row deserves a feather , Manoj !

SIX! Yesterday a handpicked audience in Bengaluru were given a sneak preview of the 6th Cafe of @arakucoffeein @arakucoffee making the scores level - 3 in Paris and 3 in India. Bengaluru has now 2. This one in Commissariat Road on way to the Garuda Mall. But the occasion was a landmark in Coffee history in India. We unveiled or rather unboxed the first of only 5 NANOLOT (just 84 packs) at a RECORD ₹10,000/- per KG - highest ever for ARABICA. Over USD 100 per KG is a statement that ARAKU Coffee curated by the tribal farmers and @naandi_india have reached a record that it deserved. Life Trustee of Naandi Foundation and Director of ARAKU Coffee the renowned @kris_sg unboxed the first pack to be bought by coffee aficionado and Bangalore’s young Turk unicorn creator @ANarayanan24 and boy! Soon after we sold in an hour 72 more packs online. Indian Coffee Consumers have raised the bar and saluted the hard work of the tribal farmers. Thank you🙏 Gratitude also to the special dignitaries who came to honour the 3 tribal farmers and cheer all of us for this amazing impact project - I call out my friend and supporter for years, Muriel Penicaud @murielpenicaud the former Labour Minister of France 🇫🇷 in President Emmanuel Macron Cabinet, Marc Lamy the Consul General of France 🇫🇷 in Bengaluru @BangaloreFrance (France is a special partner where we launched @arakucoffee as retail first in March 2017) and Hilary McGeachy @AusCGBengaluru to whose nation we export Araku Coffee. It was a historic momentous event. My eyes are swelling with gratitude 🙏 as I type these words. I urge Bengaluru to keep giving us the love we got and visit the new cafe designed by our global brand architect Jorge Zapata from New York. The “Apple Cafe” of India is getting better with each store.

@kanniwignaraja @UNDPVietNam @Refugees @uninvietnam @ptamesis @RamlaKhalidi @haverman @UNDPasiapac @RefugeesMedia @SwissAmbVietnam @VietnamNewsVNS @VietnamPR_UN Good example ! Cash transfers are key which UNDP is yet to pick up in crisis situations ! Hopefully, it is expedited !

Timely, targeted cash transfers have made a significant impact in 🇻🇳 to recover after🌪️ #TyphoonYagi. @UNDPVietNam with @Refugees has supported 1,000 people and their households get back on their feet ahead of #LunarNewYear2025. Lý Thị Bìn says "It is a huge burden lifted off my shoulders." Well-designed cash transfers from the outset, can be integral to #EarlyRecovery efforts to put income in the hands of those whose lives and jobs have been upended by crisis and disasters.

See @FT⁩ analysis of ⁦⁦⁦@FitchRatings⁩ - w these countries paying half, even 1/3rd, of govt revenues as interest on debt, have little left for health, education, water, climate.@UN ⁦@UNDP⁩ says purpose, structuring, ethics & cost of debt needs deep overhaul!

Development solutions and sustainability are the key in any crisis situations; @kanniwignaraja Assistant Secretary General at @undp was emphatic on this , as she visited Philippines & we witness a shift now !

@UNDPArabStates @KhaledAbdelSha1 He personally encouraged me and many colleagues at undp to do our best! , will never forget that ! Such a nice soul, he is young to be lost ! RIP

Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we return. In loving memory of our beloved colleague and revered manager of UNDP's Hub in Amman, Khaled Abdel Shafi @KhaledAbdelSha1. Always remembered, forever missed.

@HidekoUNDP @UNDPTokyo @UNDPRRSelva @AbdallahAldard1 @UNDPKuwait @UNDPArabic Oh my god! Such an association with him for years - saddened to hear this news !RIP

UNDP アラブ地域センターのカレッド・アブデルシャフィさん（写真・向かって右）が他界されました。 国連🇺🇳にとって大きな損失です。 誠実で心から尊敬する方でした。いつも人を助けることを考えておられました。ご冥福をお祈りします。 We miss you Khaled. RIP.

Anybody who wins at #Vizag - please construct flyovers at four major junctions - with 3000 vehicle intake every month , Vizagites will choke in two years

@Momalindi @UNICEF_Pakistan @AbdullahAFadil @AminaJMohammed @UNinPak @ahunnaeziakonwa A great combination of stalwarts including @samuelrizk of UNDP

Met the @UNICEF_Pakistan rep @AbdullahAFadil discussed their impactful work in 🇵🇰 to advance the SDGs. Both of us born in #Mogadishu, displaced, & now working tirelessly to ensure no one is left behind. Let’s make sure every child has the opportunity to reach their potential.

@Karin_Boven @NLinUganda @JantienZ Karin ! You are always innovative ! Glad that we had an excellent cooperation between you and UNDP !

I was happy to host a group of professional & committed ‘Personal Assistants’ (PA’s) of various Heads of Missions. I conveyed my appreciation for the work that they are doing - mostly behind the scenes - and to put them in the spotlight. Thank you PA’s for your support 🙏🏼👏🏼👍🏼🧡🙌🏼

@samuelrizk @Momalindi @UNDP_Pakistan @UNinPak @ASteiner @kanniwignaraja @van_ntn @UN_SDG Great team there ! Hoping you make a difference !

A warm welcome to Pakistan @Momalindi and to a familiar setting, @UNDP_Pakistan. Looking forward to working closely with you as you begin your new task as Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for the @UNinPak, to respond to dev challenges and advance national #SDG ambitions.

Great meeting @DRC_ngo's SG @CharlotteSlente & team! We exchanged views on @UNDP’s Crisis Offer & areas of collaboration| - Working in complex political contexts - Anticipation, prevention & early action - Innovative financing for crises - HDP Nexus - Climate security 🌐🤝

@devramiah @UNDP This is a very important topic , that needs due attention ; a lot of rhetoric exists, which need to translate into results , not just by targeting, but empowering and treating women as resource group , rather than a target group !

Women face unique risks and concerns while on the crisis frontlines. For a #crisisready organization, it is important to make space to discuss these challenges & identify policy solutions. A proud first collaboration between the @UNDP #crisis Bureau & the Security Team.
