PRIDE Irrigation shines as the PRIDE of IFAD in Malawi! It was an honor to accompany H.E. Dr Lazarus Chakwera & Madame Monica during their visit to the IFAD funded Mlooka solar-powered irrigation scheme. With a 156 ha command area and potential to expand to 300 ha.

Leaving no one behind, @UNMalawi RC @beckyadda engaged young informal traders in Lilongwe to listen to their dreams & aspirations for Malawi. Their message is clear: ✅ create opportunities for small-scale businesses, ✅ change mindsets, and ✅ leaders must walk the talk #LNOB

Small-scale farmers, rural #women, young agripreneurs: all rural people make rural areas places of #change, innovation and opportunities! Invest in them, invest in development and growth.

I am honoured to have been appointed Chair of @UN_Water by @antonioguterres. We can't end hunger and poverty without #water and #sanitation for all. I'm excited to begin tackling these challenges together.

Accompanied the French Minister of State for Development, @CZacharopoulou Zacharopoulou, on a field visit to a WFP school feeding programme in Dedza. Exciting to see France's commitment to development firsthand, especially as they co-host the IFAD 13 Replenishment conference.

Thank you #TheNetherlands for an incredible 80% boost in contributions to IFAD. This is a huge step towards helping us reach our $2 billion fundraising target. Your commitment goes a long way to ensure small-scale farmers adapt to #climatechange and boost food security for all.
