@McJesse Every time someone calls my name more than 3x, my eye starts to twitch because I know this scene will ensue.

Partnerships are needed to build the resilience of coastal communities in West Africa. #WACA and #CALAO are building a community of actors to fight erosion, flooding and pollution. #IUCN wacaprogram.org

World Bank committed $5.6 billion for the Great Green Wall: $2.5 billion are being implemented and $1.4 billion were approved in new projects since January 2021. #IUCNcongress #GGW

Hydromet modernization is important. So the @WorldBank partnered with @_AfricanUnion, @AfDB_Group, @EU_Commission, @WMO, @AFD_en & @UNDPAfrica under the Africa Hydromet Program to support African govts improve infrastructure & enhance hydromet service delivery cc: @ecowas_agric

Agriculture is a high priority in Sahelian countries: -large proportion of GDP -creates employment -ensures food security. Yet, the Sahel sees 80% of the agricultural land degraded. Climate is a major contributor to the region’s fragility. blogs.worldbank.org/water/farmer-l… #WorldWaterDay

Could a depressed person do this? [lets a raven into my home to ask it questions such as "who are you" and "is there an afterlife"]

In “Groundswell: Preparing for Internal Climate Migration,” it was found that Sub-Saharan Africa could have >85 million of 143 million internal climate migrants by 2050 if concerted climate & development action is not made: worldbank.org/en/news/infogr…

#OnePlanetSummit: The @WorldBank will invest more than than $5 billion across 11 countries of the Sahel, Lake Chad & Horn of Africa regions. Through this, we expect to build corridors of growth & transform the lives of millions: blogs.worldbank.org/nasikiliza/bui…

The only thing I want for Christmas!!! Love this @yescynfria xx

@WorldBank Could you please share what we can do to make sure that we're building disability-inclusive climate resilience measures? Thank you! #resilientsahel

🗓 December 2, live Q & A on the road to a #ResilientSahel. @WorldBank experts will answer your questions on: ◼️ Addressing food insecurity & conflict ◼️ Building resilience to climate shocks ◼️ Supporting health systems for #COVID19 & beyond Type your questions below.

Why is #coastalresilience impt for the @worldbank? West Africa’s coastal areas host ~1/3 of the region’s population & generate 56% of its GDP. Coasts must stay healthy to: ✔️Economic opportunities ✔️Build resilient communities ✔️Transform livelihoods #WACAcall4Innovation #WACA

I can guarantee you no one who willingly lives on 14th Street in DC has ever gone to bed before 9:30 PM. @PoPville

The @worldbank is trying to achieve 2 main goals in the Sahel: 1. Mobilize financial resources to protect a fragile environment 2. Help countries restore living conditions of population - @ousmane_diagana wrld.bg/qYBk50ByhpR

Takeaway from @TheAGRF: 1. Repurpose public support to the agri-food sector to provide incentives for nutritious food production, 2. Smart nutrition, and 3. Move from just thinking of agriculture as food security but an investment in your people for the future. #AGRF2020 #AGRF

Efforts should be made to address nutrition outcomes like supporting ‘Nutrition-smart agriculture’: - fortification & biofortification, - reformulation, - functional foods, and - nutrigenetics biofortification #AGRF2020 @TheAGRF bit.ly/2ZkPKIe bit.ly/2FjBcRO

Given rapid urbanization trends and changing diets across the developing world, we need to build back a food system that further enhances #rural and #urban linkages, as well as provides incentives and infrastructure to supply high-nutritious perishable foods. #AGRF2020 @TheAGRF

Because malnutrition and obesity are taking a toll on people’s health and have high costs for countries’ economies, building a nutritious food system is central to building back our economies sustainably. @TheAGRF #AGRF2020 @WorldBankAfrica
