Extending #SocialProtection to #MigrantWorkers in the #Arab region would benefit workers and economies alike, said worker, government and employer representatives at an @ilo side event at the recent 49th Arab Labour Conference in #Cairo: https://t.co/TkzkNeqz5O. w/@SwissDevCoop.

[World Food Programme @WFP]

As this year's #UNGA gets underway, the number of people experiencing extreme hunger is accelerating at an unprecedented pace.

Understand what’s driving the global #FoodCrisis - and what’s needed from world leaders to stop it.

[Lena Simet @LenaSimet]

"As the crisis is universal, it makes little sense to target the poorest members of society. Even before Covid, it was impossible to identify them."

@JustKIDDing_DP @DevPathways show universal social protection is critical to get Sri Lanka back on track👇

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

New @UNDP report finds >71 million people have fallen into poverty in just the past 3 months as a result of food and energy price surges.

Governments should expand social protection and enact policies that will allow everyone to enjoy their human rights.

[Kristalina Georgieva @KGeorgieva]

Very pleased that IMF staff and Sri Lankan government officials have reached a staff-level agreement to support the country’s economic policies with a 48-month Extended Fund Facility of about US$2.9 billion. This is an important step forward for Sri Lanka. https://t.co/bKikg3KDZa

Sri Lanka is Asia's oldest continuous democracy. That 87 year heritage is at very real risk. A coup is unfolding. The pattern: unconstitutional attempts at appointing and removing the Prime Minister, preventing parliament from convening and attacks on media.

John Brennan was the point person for the Obama White House on the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. He knows a lot more about defending our nation than someone who uses security clearances to punish his political adversaries.
