C'est devenu comme l'or et le diamant dans le pays. Mais j'aime bien ce que mes compatriotes en font. Je sens que les vendeuses sont devenues très riches deux jours là !

Even in the darkest hours, @‌UN personnel are a constant beacon of hope and light.

As 2024 draws to a close, I pay tribute to them, particularly those who made the ultimate sacrifice in carrying out our vital mission.

We will always carry their memory in all we do.

Great start of the week: this morning just before we launch the first WCD in Africa @aminatousar met with @NOIweala to discuss C4+ Cotton Initiative and how organisations can accelerate SDGs in Benin by working together and make this great initiative happen. #strongertogether

[Jelena Katic @JeleKatic]

We r almost there for the first WCD in a country producer of cotton - proud of my UN colleagues for @UNIDO @ITCnews @ilo @UNCTAD @iaeaorg and @FAO as they are part of making it happen and making me proud again when we work as oneUN at making this work a better place for everyone

[ICAC @ICAC_cotton]

World Cotton Day is right around the corner — and that means it’s almost time for one of October 7th’s most anticipated events, the always-sensational WCD Fashion Show! It’s a fantastic way to close the conference, which will be hosted by the Government of Benin in Cotonou.

[Jelena Katic @JeleKatic]

This year Cotonou is hosting World Cotton Day first time outside of Geneva and first time in a cotton producing country 😄 #OneUN @unbenin @aminatousar

[ICAC @ICAC_cotton]

World Cotton Day is rapidly approaching!

The ICAC and its partners — @FAO, @ITCnews, @UNIDO, @UNCTAD, @wto, and @iaeaorg — will be assisting the Government of Benin with the activities on October 7, but people can attend virtually, too:

@Afke_B Woohoo - happy new adventure 🎉

[Jelena Katic @JeleKatic]

It is not an easy region and you see poverty everywhere. People are hardworking because every inch of the land we saw is farmed and then there are nomads with cattle and somehow they make it work.

[Jelena Katic @JeleKatic]

So this week we went to the very north of Benin to evaluate the needs of asylum seekers and local communities hosting them in Banikoara and around Kandi.

Many thanks to my colleagues who worked really hard the entire week so we can start planning what we can do #OneUN @UNBenin
