Local development, WASH and mining are all in the mix! Opinions are my own.

@monique_rooney I remember too! In NZ we had "carless" days. You had a sticker in your windscreen displaying the day you couldn't drive the car. It encouraged carpooling among the neighbourhood families on those days when it was too wet to walk....

#InternalDisplacementUpdate: Over 190,000 new displacements have been reported in northern & eastern #BurkinaFaso since the beginning of the year. This means that there have been more displacements in the 1st 3 months of 2022 than in all of 2020.

@LaTrioli I had a friend too nervous to tell the remote recruitment panel she was pregnant. She did her second interview from the hospital bed being prepped for a cesarean. She got the job.

@ellyduncan_ @PatsKarvelas Fantastic interview. Sharp, candid, relevant and real. More than one can say for the government.

When we call for multi-stakeholder processes, we have to recognise where the pitfalls may lie, so we can address them. This book offers unequivocable insights that if heeded will help to do so.

[Deanna Kemp @DeannaLKemp]

As two of the expert panellists involved in the #GlobalTailingsReview, Emeritus Prof. Andrew Hopkins and I have written a book about the process. The new Standard is an important first step, but the conversation about next steps must continue. https://t.co/t9NCfUwhT3

Mineral exploration is raising new challenges and expectations. As ‘first boots on the ground’, exploration teams are in a unique position. Join us for a four-week on-line Masterclass on community relations at this crucial stage of the mine life cycle. https://t.co/bQyhxWeWRE

Gunmen kill at least 20 people in eastern #BurkinaFaso. Violence this year is on track to surpass that of last year https://t.co/ARkMPsr1ur

@themattblair (Not quite a movie, but) I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently. Due to the pandemic.

[Daniel Franks @_DanielFranks]

No disrespect to the judges that are there, but why are there no artisanal and small-scale miners on the judging panel of the @conservationx #ASMGrandChallenge? Please retweet if you think artisanal miners should be at the heart of finding the solutions?
