@UNPhilippines working jointly towards the new, 2024-2028 Cooperation Framework - a key milestone for further expanding partnership with the Government and other partnera, and implementing UN development system reform

Honoured to meet & exchange with Jean Todt, UN Special Envoy on Road Safety--former @F1 team principal & FIA Chairperson. #roadsafety is a development challenge that we absolutely need to prioritize & address holistically (education, standards, infrastructure, victim care etc.)

The threats are real: "as much as 80% of Manila could be submerged by 2030, potentially impacting 87% of its economic output." bworldonline.com/top-stories/20…

every path should lead to #genderequality

@bipdirector @1UN_MK @VladaMK @MFA_MKD @UNICEFMK @UNDPMK @IomSkopje @WHOMKD SDCF Joint Steering Committee is a representative body, composed of 2 co-chairs (UN-RC & MoFA) and 8 (rotating) members from UN & Government side. All current members of the JSC are represented at the meeting today.

@1UN_MK @VladaMK @MFA_MKD @UNICEFMK @UNDPMK @IomSkopje @WHOMKD Disappointing attendance from MK side, especially with MK GOV claiming (since 2017) to have central focus for 'better life'. In reality economy, ecology, education, justice/RoL etc declined, while corruption/cronyism/crime connections increased (not to mention bilateral tension).

Happening now - Joint Steering Committee reviews 2022 UN Annual Results and sets 2023 priorities toward better quality of life and improved outcomes for all people in North Macedonia. #LeaveNoOneBehind #Agenda2030

@1UN_MK SDCF Outcome 3 [Healthy Environment] mid-year review JWP2022 consultations with #UN & partners. Current challenges present an opportunity for green, sustainable action & investments! 🇺🇳🇲🇰
