Children must come first—always. They are not just our future, they are our present. Prioritizing them isn’t optional; it’s our responsibility. Listen to their voices. Protect their rights. Act now #ForEveryChild #Malawi

Power, connectivity, and devices are inseparable. One without the others delivers little. To accelerate learning ##ForEveryChild in #Malawi, coordinated action across education, ICT, and energy is essential. #Education #DigitalInclusion @UNICEFMalawi

In an increasingly complex global health landscape, partnerships that deliver where it matters most are essential. Valuable discussion with @PeterASands on how @UNDP and @GlobalFund can protect hard-won gains and strengthen resilience for countries and communities.

@MaxwellMatewer2 @MaxwellMatewere has authored a gripping book on human trafficking in Malawi. Honored to be his first guest on this maiden podcast! Watch this space.

Delighted to meet with @YAGClimate on climate action. I greatly appreciated the exchange with such inspiring and engaged young leaders. Through @UNDP initiatives, like #Youth4Climate & #Generation17, we remain committed to strengthening youth engagement in climate action.

@IMFNews @WorldBankGroup @CSIS @UNDP We cannot build a prosperous world without a clear focus on jobs. But work alone is not enough—around 300 million workers still live in poverty. We need jobs that build prosperity: higher productivity, better pay, and real stability. Expanding access to technology is key.

On the margins of #IMFMeetings #WBGMeetings, I emphasized that reforming the global financial architecture must include confronting the “narrative premium” on Africa. Fair risk perceptions are essential to unlock affordable finance & development. #SpringMeetings #CreditRatings

Before Malawi’s National Birth Registration campaign, nearly 2m children lacked legal identity. Through #IDT4M, @undpmalawi supported teachers nationwide to register over 2.1m children across Phases 1 & 2 of @NRBMwOfficial's #BirthRegistration, leaving no one behind.

📢📢 Today #UNDP and the Ministry of Finance & Planning signed the 5 year Public Finance Management Reform Strategy Support (PFMRSS) project.
