On the International Day of the Midwife, I am pleased to share this video from a high-level reception I had the privilege of hosting in Nairobi in connection with #IMNHC2026.
Midwives save lives. Investing in them is key to stronger health systems and better maternal and newborn health.
Sweden remains committed to advancing SRHR and midwifery globally. @UNFPAKen@WHO@UNHCR_Kenya@SweMFA@Sida@SwedenUN@BenjaminDousa

Yesterday, we joined @UNFPARwanda for the launch of the #KuraNawe Programme!
This initiative aims to empower young people in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) schools with the skills, knowledge, and access to Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) services they need to thrive.
At Imbuto Foundation, we share this vision of preparing young people to lead healthy and productive lives. For years, our programmes have championed youth empowerment and access to SRH information and services, from promoting Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) in schools, to equipping communities with knowledge and life skills.
Supporting the #KuraNawe Programme builds on these efforts, reinforcing our commitment to ensuring that young people are informed, confident, and supported to make healthy choices. Integrating CSE within TVET schools is another step toward reaching more youth where they are and enabling them to make empowered decisions for their future.
