RWI's Executive Director @Plundber met a team from @SwedeninKE to appreciate the long-standing cooperation with @RWallenbergInst's work with Kenya’s correctional service. RWI also met with @AnnaSaleemH from @SwedeninSomalia to explore partnering on human rights work in Somalia.

Today’s workshop with @FAOSomalia @moai_somali & @Sida was a moment of reflection on our joint successes & a reaffirmation of our commitment to stronger partnerships. Thanks to @Sida, we’ve empowered 7,5k farmers & 30 cooperatives through innovative solutions.

A big thank you to everyone who joined the conversation yesterday and especially to our distinguished guests and speakers 👉 @UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Crown Princess Victoria, @sigriddiana, @JakobGranit, @KevinCasasZ, Åsa Wikforss, @pedrotconceicao & @JosefinPasanen! #HDR2024

After thorough negotiations in Paris today, I am grateful to the Paris Club creditors for principally agreeing to full debt cancellation for #Somalia. Following this historic step, we look forward to bilaterally signing agreements with individual creditors to finalise the process

In many parts of the world, women are still prevented from taking part in public life, face discrimination and are at increased risk of violence. On #WomensDay2024 we encourage all women to exercise their rights & claim their space in society. My statement europa.eu/!nVP8FV

The IMF has approved a 36-month financial arrangement for Somalia worth about $100m. This program will build on progress made by 🇸🇴, including its reaching the Completion Point of the Heavily Indebted Poor Country’s Initiative. bit.ly/3TD7trr
