How to go from 🏜️ to 🌳? Just ask the Israeli agronomists & scientists who have found creative solutions to make our deserts bloom.

We must do everything we can to combat #desertification and to protect lands from erosion around the 🌎.

@SDGsDiscourse Africa is the poorest continent in the world so it will be difficult resolve the problems without external assistance.

[Lanre Olaniyan @LOlaniyan]

@SDGsDiscourse It is a welcome development that many development partners and rich economies are granting debt relief to African countries. The intervention has often been in terms of debt rescheduling & moratorium period. This will free resources for new development activities,

[Lanre Olaniyan @LOlaniyan]

@SDGsDiscourse MSMEs are the strength on most Africa countries & their activities account for more than 50% of the economic activity.

[SafeWaterCampaign @WaterCampaign2]

Availablity of quality #data will enhance proper planning, policy formulation & programme implementation.
The lessons learned from #MDGs should be handy in #SDGs to avoid the challenge of quality data, and delay and time lag experience in conducting M&E exercise in MDGs.

[Lanre Olaniyan @LOlaniyan]

@SDGsDiscourse Lack of adequate data had always been a clog in the wheel of development. Even the monitoring of the SDGs has faced this problem. It creates problem for monitoring and evaluation of development process.

[Lanre Olaniyan @LOlaniyan]

@SDGsDiscourse The problem with COVID 19 is that as a pandemic it defies borders. Hence any response that is not intercontinental & broad based in approach is purely myopic & potentially counter-productive. COVID is both a health & economic problems

[Lanre Olaniyan @LOlaniyan]

@SDGsDiscourse COVID 19 is both a health and economic problems. Both problems has to be solved simultaneously. Even then, we need human beings before we can have economy

[Lanre Olaniyan @LOlaniyan]

@SDGsDiscourse Bail-out should also be provided for the very vulnerable businesses that are already dying so that they can be supported to stand again.

[Lanre Olaniyan @LOlaniyan]

@SDGsDiscourse governments should lead the way in ensuring that most of the MSMEs affected by the COVID 19 pandemics benefit from debt relief & debt forgiveness. This may be in terms of forgiving the interest rate payment during the lockdown as well as increasing the period of moratorium.
