How do you turn national policy into real local impact? You go to the regions, listen, and co-create solutions. In Lagos, the Southwest Regional Development Clinic was inaugurated and driven by Regional Development Commissions & UNICEF

What happens when the health system in #Gaza collapses?

“Pregnant mothers can’t deliver their babies safely. Children can’t get vaccines. The sick and wounded can’t get treatment. People die,” stresses @UNReliefChief Martin Griffiths.

“This war needs to end,” he reiterates.

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

"The crisis in Gaza is a man-made disaster compounded by dehumanizing language and the use of food, water and fuel as instruments of war."

@yesmylo Hear hear!!! Absolutely! A true Nigerian and humanitarian!

When it comes to Humanitarian Affairs in Nigeria with regards to Social Protection, I'm yet to see anyone as professional and selfless in handling such like Maryam Uwais MFR.

This is a woman who was tasked with the responsibility of midwifing the social investment programmes of the past administration following the launch of the programmes in their first term. She handled and supervised the implementation of the programmes from state to state, coping with and attending to all the teething problems and challenges that arose in the process.

When Leadership newspapers accused her of misappropriation of SIP funds in 2019, she embarked on a 2-year long legal battle with them and eventually emerged victorious when judgment was given.

After the SIPs were removed from the Presidency and placed under the newly formed Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs in the 2nd term of the former administration, she remained with the Presidency and also made responsible for implementing a new social intervention programme known as the At-Risk Children Programme (ARC-P) which was beginning to take shape before the end of the past administration.

She is a true humanitarian, and it will take someone like her to head that Ministry for poor and vulnerable Nigerians to truly benefit from social protection programmes.

To our @UN colleagues and friends,
To the families,
To the children,
To the doctors,

We take a moment to remember those we lost and stand with those who are fighting for their survival and safety.

We pray for peace in Palestine.

Absolutely shocking to hear of the death of #SineadOConnor at the age of 56. A beautiful voice, talented and dedicated to creating a better world. She became a Muslim in 2018 and was known as Shuhada Sadaqat

Allah elevate her rank in Jannah and give family patience to deal with this loss.

[UNICEF Economic & Social Policy @UNICEFSocPolicy]

Nearly 1.5 billion children under 15 don't have access to social protection—vulnerable to the impacts of poverty and crises.

Our joint report with @ilo shows that progress in increasing coverage has stalled since 2016: https://t.co/lnfNJbF9tq

We have 17 #GlobalGoals that show us the game plan to a better future.

Yet, only 12% are on track.

We cannot give up now. Let's #ImagineWinning! https://t.co/8yBbBodL3y

In a divided world, yoga unites millions of people across the globe, for whom it is a source of strength, harmony, and peace.

On this #YogaDay, let us embrace this spirit of unity, and resolve to build a better, more harmonious world for people & planet.

A joyful start to the two-day programme 🎈. Brought several of us to tears.
