During #WBGMeetings, we hosted our Finance Forum focused on debt and the need for ambitious solutions. With 3.3B people in countries spending more on debt than health, bold action is urgent. As @rajshah wrote in @ForeignPolicy, we have the roadmap to show the way forward. foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/13/int…

New data coming out of the World Bank Spring Meetings: Borrowing costs for African countries rose 91% from 2020–2024. Aid is being cut. Debt is getting more expensive. And the Iran conflict is driving food & energy prices higher. Countries in the "squeezed middle" have almost no room left. Our new report: rockefellerfound.link/4swG1ZS

Energy = Development When we power a home, a business, or a hospital, we aren't just providing electricity—we’re fueling work, wages, and lasting dignity. Join @WorldBankGroup today at 8:45 AM EDT to learn how they're turning power into growth: live.worldbank.org/en/event/2026/… #WBGMeetings

New OECD data confirms a 23% drop in global aid in 2025, the largest in decades. Research projects 9M+ preventable deaths by 2030 if cuts continue. We're calling for urgent action. apnews.com/press-release/…

Connecting 300 million people in Africa to electricity by 2030 will require unlocking new sources of private capital. Pleased to see @WorldBankGroup, @AfDB_Group, and @RockefellerFdn launch the #Mission300 Private Sector Council—bringing together global and African business leaders to turn ambition into investment. Powering businesses. Energizing communities. Creating jobs. wrld.bg/LyvF50YBjzz

Electricity creates opportunity. Along with our partners at @WorldBankGroup and @AfDB_Group, we just launched the #Mission300 Private Sector Council to help accelerate our work to bring electricity to 300 million people across Africa by 2030. Learn more: rockefellerfoundation.org/news/mission-3…

The #IranWar poses major risks to countries already struggling with debt burdens and severe cuts to development assistance. @RockefellerFdn and Masood Ahmed, President Emeritus @CGDev, convened top thinkers on debt and international finance to discuss concrete solutions.

Hear from Mission 300 Fellow Sharon Matongo on how #Mission300 is powering communities across Africa, and opening doors for everyone.

What if you only had 2 hours of electricity a day, and didn’t know which 2 hours? That’s the reality for hundreds of millions of people. Universal energy abundance—reliable power for everyone, everywhere—could change that.

We made our biggest-ever bet on electricity as a pathway out of poverty. At today’s Powering Africa Summit, we announced that we, alongside @EnergyAlliance, have committed $100M+ in #Mission300 to connect 300M people across Africa to reliable electricity by 2030.

Our new #FoodisMedicine report explains how programs like medically tailored meals and produce prescriptions can support local farmers and producers, creating jobs and spurring economic growth.
