I was pleased to meet with Secretary Mel Senen Sarmiento, Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity, here in Manila 🇵🇭

We discussed the impact of @UNOPS work with @peacegovph and partners in support of the peace and transition process in the Bangsamoro region.

As this crucial work continues, UNOPS is ready to scale up our partnership to advance the progress made, and help turn peacebuilding ambitions into tangible development outcomes for communities in the region – with stronger institutions and sustainable infrastructure.

[Jorge Moreira da Silva @UNOPS_Chief]

Across Asia, including in challenging contexts, @UNOPS and the @ADB_HQ have developed a strong partnership that’s delivering tangible results in areas like health and governance.

I had a very productive meeting with @ADBPresident Masato Kanda in Manila, to reflect on the impact of our work together, and explore new areas of cooperation.

I am delighted to have signed a new framework agreement between our organizations to continue this partnership, with a particular focus on addressing needs in fragile and conflict-affected situations, and Small Island Developing States.

Looking forward to building on what we’ve achieved together!

Recap of the #IMFWorldBank2026 annual meetings in Bangkok.

With @UNOPS_Chief in Bangkok, we had a productive week of engaging with global partners. We’re ready to turn these global dialogues into practical action across Asia and the Pacific.

It was a pleasure hosting @UNOPS_Chief at our @UNOPS_AsiaPac regional office in Bangkok 🇹🇭

[Jorge Moreira da Silva @UNOPS_Chief]

It was great to connect with @UNOPS colleagues in Bangkok 🇹🇭 from the Asia Pacific Regional Office @UNOPS_AsiaPac at margins of WB/IMF Annual Meetings. From supply chain disruptions to the urgent need for climate resilience, their work matters more than ever providing practical solutions. Also glad to meet our Global Shared Services Centre team which plays a crucial supporting all UNOPS teams across 130 countries as well as our partners.

Standing amid the devastation in #Nepal, seeing the impacts of the floods and mudslides firsthand, was deeply sobering.

Over 1,500 lives lost. More than 5,000 missing. Homes, bridges, energy facilities, decimated. Around 100,000 people affected.

Make no mistake: This was not a local incident. It was a climate-driven catastrophe.

Nepal contributes a tiny fraction of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, yet is directly bearing the brunt of the climate crisis.

This is a defining moment. As communities begin the long road to recovery, Nepal is counting on us all to help the country rebuild.

The international community must renew its climate commitments and bring a renewed solidarity with developing countries to help build resilience, mobilize climate finance, and support critical adaptation and mitigation efforts.

@UNOPS and the @UN system are ready to scale up our support and deliver for the people of #Nepal.

[Jorge Moreira da Silva @UNOPS_Chief]

Surrounded by devastation in Rasuwa and Nuwakot, #Nepal, I spoke with @CNNi's @BrianAbelTV on the colossal scale of destruction caused by the flash floods and mudslides, and the impact on local communities:

👉 1,500 people lost their lives and 5,600+ missing
👉 80 bridges and 13 hydro power dams destroyed
👉 2.2 Million tonnes of debris and sediments

The recovery and climate-resilient reconstruction of Nepal requires 4.8 billion dollars. Nepal – which only emits 0.08% of global GHG – can’t pay alone the recovery from a massive climate disaster that it’s not responsible for.

The international community must step up to help people recover and rebuild. It's a defining moment.

@UNOPS, alongside all UN system, is ready to scale-up our efforts.

In the face of complex global challenges, the simplest solutions often create the greatest impact.

Better farming techniques protect crops.

The catastrophic flooding in Nepal could occur elsewhere due to climate change, says Sara Netzer, @UNOPS regional director.

She recently visited some of the hardest hit areas, where communities have been obliterated and people are unable to rebuild.
