Deeply saddened by the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson. In March 2016, I had the honor of receiving the @CransMontanaF Young Leader for Tomorrow Award from his hands. His words still guide me:
“You are not the leaders of tomorrow… You are today’s leaders shaping Africa’s present.”
His legacy lives on.

Violence against women & girls is a global scourge, amplified by the reach & speed of technology in our digital age.
We cannot allow digital spaces to be yet another place where women & girls are unsafe.
Together, let’s build a world free of fear for every woman & girl.
As cyberstalking, gendered disinformation, and AI-driven deepfakes escalate, 1.8 billion women and girls have no access to legal protection from digital abuse.
Adolescent girls face some of the greatest risks.
Stop digital abuse.
Now is the moment for G20 economies to lock in progress. Smart fiscal policy and well sequenced structural reforms can help lift growth, reduce debt vulnerabilities, and narrow external imbalances—delivering more resilient and inclusive prosperity.

Proud to sign the @MCCgov Regional Energy Compact with Côte d’Ivoire today to foster economic prosperity in both countries. The Compact benefits 🇺🇸 by creating new opportunities for American companies and supporting U.S. jobs, and benefits 🇨🇮 by helping lower costs for families and businesses, boosting private sector activity, and building a stronger foundation for cross-border trade.
Senegal / IMF mission in context of fiscal misreporting: "Following the comprehensive reconciliation exercise conducted by Forvis Mazars, an international audit firm, the authorities have revised the stock of central government debt from [74.4]% to 111.0% of GDP at end-2023 ..."
This new paper finds that a higher public debt burden (think Italy) is related to deeper economic contractions and sharper declines in investment. Transmission: Higher public debt burdens are linked to limitations of accommodative fiscal policy during financial crises.

For measuring costs, administrative data are not enough! https://t.co/vJOB0x60c5 In Brazil, admin data alone would have overestimated costs of an early childhood development program even while *missing* key cost elements.
