Communications @BRAC_UPGI. Passionate about uplifting voices from the Global South, economic inclusion, and social justice. Opinions are my own.

Key learning from the book launch of Scaling Up Development Impact - it’s not just about growing bigger, but doing development differently. Centering people, being inclusive, and changing systems.

[BRAC @BRACworld]

Countries like 🇧🇩 are receiving as little as 3% of the funding they need to adapt - and just 6% of that is going to locally-led adaptation. How do we change that, and ensure we're funding projects that make an actual impact on the ground?

If you're at #COP28, join us to discuss it at an official side event titled ‘Financing locally-led adaptation: How to translate global ambition to local impact’, co-run by BRAC, tomorrow (5 December) at 16:45pm (GMT+4).

Location: SE Room 2, Zone B6, Building 78 (opposite of Gambia Pavilion)

Countries like 🇧🇩 are receiving 3% of the funding needed to adapt to climate change.

Ahead of #COP28, hear the stories of the people paying the other 97%.

This is Minara. She was forced to move to a city - and is still paying for it.

People living the #climatecrisis are trying their best to adapt but there’s only so much they can do with so few resources. Join BRAC's ED @asifsaleh as he returns to Bangladesh’s coast to meet people who have contributed the least but are paying the most.

Grateful to have visited @SJY_JEEViKA_ program in Gaya, Bihar and hear the stories of many inspiring Didis!

Feeling immense hope and possibility of taking the learnings from @brlps_jeevika and sharing it around the world to help reach more households in #extemepoverty.

[Isabel Siddique Whisson @IsabelWhisson]

In a few short years the small but mighty gang at @BRAC_UPGI has transformed into a large, global team; abundant with talent, local knowledge and bold ambition on how to scale solutions to end poverty. What an honour it’s been to be on this journey with you #SDG1

This #IWD I’m humbled to represent @BRACworld @BRAC_UPGI an org committed to #womensempowerment at #LDC5 alongside 3 powerfully talented and impressive women @heidilinz @AnuKumar23 & Rasha Natour

[BRAC Ultra-Poor Graduation Initiative @BRAC_UPGI]

Our delegation is here at #LDC5 because compounding crises have put the delivery of #SDGs in jeopardy. We need to prioritize who have the least, are the hardest hit, and hardest to reach. #TheGraduationApproach is one way to do this and empower those furthest behind. #LNOB

[Heidi McAnnally-Linz @heidilinz]

The amazing @BRAC_UPGI team is here at #LDC5 ready to make this vision @Shameran shared to #LNOB a reality alongside govts around the world @GregChenFinTech @IsabelWhisson @max_gollin @AnuKumar23 @muhirejclaud123

I had the chance to moderate an insightful panel on narrative strategy at #EARNCon2022 with @mdlbsomosot @Caitlin_Cleve and @elaine_mejia! I learned so much from these communications superstars!

[EPI United @epiunited]

Tomorrow, we are back at the bargaining table with management. In negotiating our next contract, our members are united to meet the evolving needs of EPI and raise standards to support our important work. 1/

We are outraged. We are exhausted. We have to still keep fighting. ✊🏾

In pictures: Americans react after the Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade, holding that there is no longer a federal constitutional right to an abortion. https://t.co/AFVc5B2KYc

[Edward Luce @EdwardGLuce]

Worth stressing that at every juncture over last 20 years the America “alarmists” have been right. Downplaying the enormity of what’s happening, or reassuring us that it’s not that bad, is the same as surrender.

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent.”

Read the joint dissent by Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor https://t.co/x1SZgQwHjd
