SWEDEN TO REVIVE ZAMBIA'S RAILWAY SYSTEM

By @darius_choonya

The Swedish government wants to rehabilitate the entire stretch of the Chingola Livingstone Railway System.

Swedish Ambassador to Zambia, Johane Hallenborg, has confirmed.

[Achim Steiner @ASteiner]

Of the approximately US$13 trillion that governments spend on public spending, up to 25% is lost to corruption. Ahead of Int'l Anti-Corruption Day #IACC2022, here is how @UNDP is working w countries to harness #DigitalTransformation to eliminate corruption

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

With our bottomless appetite for unchecked and unequal economic growth, humanity has become a weapon of mass extinction.

At #COP15 I am urging leaders to adopt and deliver an ambitious peace pact with nature — and deliver a green, healthy future for all.

Zambia is listed as very unequal on both income and wealth -- do we want to go in the direction of South Africa or do we want to look into how inequalities can be reduced?

[Ruben Mathisen @rubenbmathisen]

I made a graph showing income and wealth inequality in 174 countries. Found it surprising that the US actually represents the global average on income inequality (measured as the income share of the top 10%), but is well above average on wealth inequality. @dataviz

#Schools & kindergartens are #NotATarget & must be safe places for #UkraineChildren to learn and grow.

+750 schools damaged since beginning of conflict on both sides of contact line.

[Iceland at UN 🇮🇸 @IcelandUN]

Deeply regret that the #UNSC was prevented from adopting a resolution to stop the war in #Ukraine due to Russia's veto. We thank the 11 members who voted for peace 🇦🇱🇧🇷🇫🇷🇬🇦🇬🇭🇮🇪🇰🇪🇲🇽🇳🇴🇬🇧🇺🇸. Proud to be one of the 81 cosponsors of this important resolution #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦🇮🇸

[Achim Steiner @ASteiner]

This is a devastating moment for the people of Ukraine - and the world.

Working with the people of Ukraine for almost 3 decades, @UNDP is committed to #stayanddeliver - providing support on peacebuilding, human rights and sustainable development.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Last night, Russia launched a brazen attack on the people of Ukraine, in violation of international law and basic principles of human decency. Here’s my statement on what it means, and what should happen next.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

With the death toll rising, we are seeing images of fear, anguish and terror in every corner of Ukraine.

The protection of civilians must be priority number one.

International humanitarian and human rights law must be upheld.

[Tom Vandenbosch @TVandenbosch]

My @VVOBvzw colleagues @jef_oi and @AnneThora will share how we use evidence from partners such as @Pratham_India @JPAL_Africa @poverty_action in the design & continuous improvement of #TaRL and how the intervention also generates new evidence to inform policy making and scaling.

BREAKING: Russian TV is now showing Trump’s praise of Putin to justify their invasion.

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

Pushkin Square, maybe less than 1000 meters from Red Square and the Kremlin, is the cite of a significant protest. These people know the risks of challenging the regime. They’re on the street in-spite of major personal costs.

[Thomas van Linge @ThomasVLinge]

If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one.

The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.
