As the Director of Partnerships at @UNDP, one of my favorite moments is to engage monthly with the nearly 40 team members based in #NewYork, #Istanbul & #Bangkok. So much energy, dedication, and work ethic.

#Partnership is the foundation to make the world a better place for all

[Alexander De Croo 🇺🇳 @alexanderdecroo]

The @OECD – @UNDP partnership has generated $2.7bn in additional tax revenue across 70 jurisdictions over the past decade.

A concrete example of development funding unlocking larger returns.

Great to meet @MathiasCormann to discuss development finance, tax capacity and results.

[Alexander De Croo 🇺🇳 @alexanderdecroo]

Good meeting with Ajay Banga, President of @WorldBankGroup.

We discussed how to better align our work: de-risk investment, strengthen governance, and connect public and private finance so capital reaches people, creating jobs and building resilience.

[Alexander De Croo 🇺🇳 @alexanderdecroo]

Investing in development matters for global growth.

Great to speak with @TaniaBryer @CNBCi in #Davos about how we can better connect private investment with the people and places that need it most.
