calls countries to capitalise @JointSDGFund

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Many developing nations simply cannot afford to invest in the #GlobalGoals because they face a financing abyss.

I urge countries to capitalise the @JointSDGFund by at least US$1 billion by next year to help better respond to the challenges of our time. https://t.co/S4q8wXxL2d

.@JeffBezos I cover international security for @washingtonpost and reported on ISIS, Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, al-Qaeda, Iran and Israel. I’ve been imprisoned, lived under threats, and escaped kidnappings to do this work. #Journalism matters to America and the world. #SaveThePost

🌊 80% of seaweed farmers in #Zanzibar are women. Their work feeds families and builds better lives.

A new program by the @JointSDGFund will help them grow their businesses, increase their income, save more, and invest in their families’ future.

It was SO inspiring to see the @NEDemocracy Award presented by its President @DamonMacWilson to the family of #Cuba opposition leader Oswaldo Payá, who was murdered by the Cuban regime. His courage, perseverance, and defiance in the face of threats aimed at stopping his non-violent advocacy for #democracy, #freedom, and #humanrights was and remains an inspiration to all Cuban freedom fights and those who are in a similar struggle around the world. #Libertad!

It is outrageous that @Presidentaz #Aliyev is now threatening @RubenVardanyan_ with life imprisonment in #Azerbaijan on dozens of bogus new charges. Based on "national security" grounds, Ruben faces a secret trial before a tribunal that will be neither independent nor impartial. He must be immediately and unconditionally released. https://t.co/f3SPZnykET #FreeRubenVardanyan #FreeArmenianPrisoners #HumanRights

[Egypt’s Former PR to the UN in NY @EgyptPRNewYork]

Valuable discussions today demonstrating @JointSDGFund contributions to sustainable development in developing countries and its role in supporting RCs to lead country-level efforts. Fruitful exchange of views on how the efforts of the Fund can be further promoted.

I was pleased to showcase the ambitious joint programmes being implemented between #Egypt and the Fund, including on #SDG localization, improved food security and nutrition and INFF for Sustainable Development.
