@JonnyBaxterFCDO So sorry about the death of the two sisters of the Sacred Heart Convent - sending lots of love and care. And commitments to their commitment.
I am saddened and appalled by the senseless killing of the two sisters of the Sacred Heart Convent on the Juba-Nimule road. My thoughts are with all of those whose lives Sr Mary and Sr Regina touched, and the others affected by this attack
My deepest condolences to the family of Dr Ousmane Touré. He was one of Africa's brightest stars, who gave so much to the #Ebola response in West Africa and the DRC. His work lives on in the strengthened response we now have to Ebola.
Honoured to be appointed Special Envoy for Gender Equality
I’ll advocate for #Girlseducation, access to sexual & reproductive health & rights, women’s empowerment & meaningful participation

Thanks to @EU_Commission, EU Member States & @EIB through #TeamEurope and all donors for their generous support to #COVAX to help more countries in Africa receive 1st COVID-19 vaccines

In Somaliland, oxygen concentrators donated by @WHO are making a difference not only for COVID-19 patients but also children with pneumonia and other respiratory illnesses
Delighted to welcome the Cayman Islands, Chile, Israel, Trinidad and Tobago and the UAE to the #COVAX Facility! This is an important indication that the world is coming together to take a global perspective and join this remarkable collaboration. #OneWorldProtected
A few pics from #COVID19-safe polio vaccination campaigns held in #Pakistan & #Afghanistan in recent months. Teams are urgently working to close immunity gaps that have widened during the pandemic. #EndPolio.
#COVAX is “an all-hands on deck partnership between governments, manufacturers and multilateral partners to continue the high-stakes fight against the pandemic” and @UNICEF’s experience and expertise is essential to its success. Thank you @unicefchief. https://t.co/wUKwBZL0T6
Congratulations @rglenner. #FCDO will benefit enormously from your expertise and experience (as will we all!). A great sign that the new department will combine the best of development and diplomacy.
An honour to be appointed as the first Chief Economist of the new #FCDO. I'll be working with a great team to combine the very best of @foreignoffice and @DFID_UK into one of the great economic ministries of the UK and to be a force for good in the world.
As @DFID_UK closes its doors over the bank holiday weekend, we reflect on some of its many achievements over the last two decades.

@construct_phil @katherineschof8 Got to be clotted cream on the scone (rhyming with gone) with jam on the cream. Anything else just thumbs culinary experience in the face of basic physics...
A plane carrying 20 tonnes of @WHO supplies just landed in Beirut, #Lebanon 🇱🇧, to support treatment of patients suffering from injuries & burns as a result of yesterday’s massive blast. The supplies will cover 1000 trauma interventions & 1000 surgical interventions for patients.
