We value the efforts of the General Authority for Statistics and its continued coordination with the United Nations Statistics Division regarding the postponement of the 6th UN World Data Forum and the 2nd Saudi Statistics Forum to 2027.

We look forward to continuing our cooperation with the Kingdom to ensure the success of this important international event, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s leading role in advancing statistics and strengthening international cooperation on data. 🇺🇳🇸🇦

[UN Saudi Arabia 🇺🇳🇸🇦 @UN_SaudiArabia]

One direction. One team.

Our annual Programme Support Team Retreat brought together colleagues from 21 UN entities in Saudi Arabia to close the current Cooperation Framework on a strong note and plan how we leave no one behind in the next.

The UN Country Team in Saudi Arabia is meeting on 20-21 October for its annual Programme Support Team Retreat, with colleagues joining in person and online.

The Cooperation Framework 2022-2026 is coming to a close. In 2026 alone, 21 UN entities are delivering 75 programmatic interventions in the Kingdom, contributing across all 17 SDGs. The retreat gives agencies time to look at what this work has achieved, what we have learnt, and where coordination can improve.

Much of the discussion will look ahead to the Cooperation Framework 2027-2030 and how the UN system can best support national priorities and Saudi Vision 2030.

#UnitedNations #UNinSaudiArabia #SDGs #SaudiVision2030

[Mohamed Zarkani @MohamedZarkani]

This morning, I opened our UN Programme Support Team Retreat by asking colleagues to begin in 2030.

Imagine sitting with our Saudi partners, reviewing what our cooperation has contributed to the Kingdom’s development priorities and Vision 2030. What would success look like?

Then work backwards. What needs to be in place by 2028? What should we begin in 2027? And what decisions must we make today?

As we prepare our Cooperation Framework for 2027–2030, I encouraged colleagues to focus on three priorities:

1.⁠ ⁠Complete our current cycle with credible evidence of results and lessons learned.
2.⁠ ⁠Work backwards from the national priorities and development outcomes we aim to support by 2030.
3.⁠ ⁠Make inclusion an integral measure of programme quality, ensuring our cooperation responds to the needs of different segments of society, including older persons.

Grateful to colleagues across the UN system for their expertise and commitment to making our cooperation with the Kingdom increasingly focused, relevant and impactful.

Today we gathered to say farewell to three amazing colleagues I have had the privilege of working alongside during my time in Saudi Arabia, and sitting down to write this, I find the words come slower than they did in person.

Dr. Nizar Haddad of FAO, who has spent his career on the question of how people are fed, from the science of the land to the systems that carry food to the table. Jumana Haj-Ahmad of UNICEF, whose work has always answered to one constituency, the children, the only one that cannot speak for itself at any table. And Dr. Nadjia Hafsa of UNHCR, who chose to stand with people the world too often asks to wait: the displaced, the uprooted, those searching for a place to begin again.

Three different mandates, and behind each one a person. Each of them knows their field better than I ever will. You sit in rooms with people like that and you learn a great deal without noticing. And beyond that, they are decent people. They made hard work feel lighter, and they made the rest of us better colleagues just by how they carried themselves. They inspire us all to keep delivering on the important work we do here.

Every team is temporary. That is the reality of working in the UN. The old philosophers asked about a ship whose planks are replaced one by one: is it still the same ship? I do not have a clever answer. I only know this team feels like itself because of people like them. They will leave a void in our family fabric, but they also built something tangible and undeniable with all of us, something for those who come after to keep building on.

I could say many things about each of them individually and still not do them justice. So on behalf of everyone I will simply say: thank you, Nizar, Jumana and Nadjia, for everything. It was a gift to work beside you.

More resilient crops. Plants that produce medicines and vaccines. Achieving these goals is technically challenging, including the precise insertion of large, complex genes into plants.

KAUST researchers develop new approach to place large genes into specific, targeted locations within plant genomes. A new tool that expands what plant biotechnology can achieve.
