❄️The cold season is settling in #Ukraine. Non-stop attacks left the most vulnerable people in front-line communities in damaged or destroyed homes. With heating or electricity cuts, many struggle to keep warm.  Humanitarians are mobilizing efforts to provide aid on time.

TODAY❗️ The @FAO Right to Food Team and the @UN_CFS HLPE-FSN are pleased to invite you to the hybrid event “The right to adequate food in urban and peri-urban areas: achievements, challenges and way forward”. Register: fao.zoom.us/webinar/regist… Full agenda: fao.org/right-to-food/…

Join us today in raising awareness about the #RightToFood as we mark this year's 👇 #WorldFoodDay #يوم_الأغذية_العالمي #DíaMundialdelaAlimentación #JournéeMondialedelAlimentation #ВсемирныйДеньПродовольствия #世界粮食日 Food is a human right of every person, everywhere.

As a women leader you have to accept to be the punching bag, to be the problem to things not being perfect and it is ok. The leadership style of Dr @AdaBacetty use compassion, loyalty and commitment to do right. #GHS2024 @Jhpiego @GHSAConsortium @womeninGH

Today is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. In Ukraine, more than 2,000 children have been killed or injured since the escalation of the war in 2022. Children are #NotATarget. They must always be protected.

#HappeningToday 🗓️ @CorneliaSpeich presented a poster on the #NiceNutrition project at the Geneva Health Forum. #GHF2024 Here are some takeaways from today's sessions on Health and Environment: A Time for Solutions💡 We need to work interdisciplinary, e.g. with a OneHealth approach. This multisectoral approach must include CSO, authorities and science. @ProfJohnJi We cannot work in non-multisectoral platforms, but at the end it’s up to the governments to take up or not to take up. Things will not happen without technology, finance or social behavior. The moment to discuss is important, and prioritise. Co-creation is key – let’s co-create!

With the war in Ukraine, many unknowns need to be tackled. In turbulent times, you need to make quick and sustainable decisions. Here's how Ihor Matviichuk, our Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MERL) Manager in Ukraine is adapting his work > #dataevidence4dev

On February 24, millions of us made a choice. Not a white flag, but the blue and yellow one. Not fleeing, but facing. Resisting & fighting. It was a year of pain, sorrow, faith, and unity. And this year, we remained invincible. We know that 2023 will be the year of our victory!
