During Sudan's 2-year conflict, non-Arab women & girls have been raped, enslaved, & tortured. Yet, legal justice has been nearly impossible to attain.

As @COP29_AZ opens, President Babayev's call for an ambitious and adequate climate finance goal must be paired with equally ambitious delivery mechanisms.
Southern Africa is experiencing its worst drought in a century, affecting over 21 million children across Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Angola, and Mozambique, who are lucky to receive a single meal a day. This situation highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive overhaul of how financial resources are allocated to developing nations, as incremental progress is no longer sufficient.
Our call for an NCQG of $1.3T must translate into direct, accessible funding for African solutions already making a difference on the ground. Solutions like Pula’s affordable agricultural insurance and SunCulture’s solar-powered irrigation show what’s possible when local innovation gets the support it deserves.

Abortion is on the ballot next week & not just in the the U.S. A Trump re-election would embolden American #farright groups pouring money into #Africa to fight #abortionrights .

Solar-powered irrigation can make it easier and cheaper for farmers to grow produce and tackle food security challenges. Great to meet @samiribrahim from @SunCultureKenya and see how our tech collaboration in this space is having a real impact in Kenya and the region. 🇬🇧 🇰🇪
