Le Benin sait vraiment comment faire la fête! Aujourd’hui nous avons fête avec @Sightsavers l'elimination du #trachome comme santé publique dans le pays! Leadership et engagement acharné ont été les mots d'ordre pour apprendre de l'experience de ce pays. #BeatNTDs #trachoma

[Nicolas Haque @nicolashaque]

Words matter

Sonko said if he had to rape he wouldn’t choose someone that looks like a monkey that has a stroke

During the riots women were assaulted many are afraid to speak out not @iam__Magui or @hadyba_

My son has lived through four chancellors, three home secretaries, two prime ministers and two monarchs.

He's four months old.

Good news: improvements are clear in prevalence rates of trachoma in West and Central Africa. For the next 2 days, trachoma experts from Mauritania to CAR are discussing successes and challenges in reaching elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. @Sightsavers

read it and literally weep

Looking forward to joining @Sightsavers and @RSTMH to learn more about the Ascend programme and how we can build on its successes in our efforts to eliminate neglected tropical diseases. https://t.co/rtHxct6qCV #beatNTDs

“Malawi’s triumph provides hope and encouragement to our neighbours still working to eliminate the disease." Malawi has eliminated trachoma as a public health problem, now let's get West Africa on the map! #BeatNTDs #EndTrachoma https://t.co/iSreKPDfY8

Campaign gold is to be found in the creative, ground-up, public outrage & engagement generated by the Centre Parcs debacle!⚱️⚜️🏅🏆

[Fiona James @fionasj5]

It's always felt like NTD elimination was a bit gender and inclusion blind, loving the examples from countries on how they are addressing these gaps. Like Uganda - piloting fathers washing their children's faces to avoid trachoma transmission #beatNTDs #NNN2022

[Mandu Reid @ManduReid]

No mention of #childcare in your priority list for the new PM @Conservatives - what a surprise.

We're in a cost of living CRISIS, childcare is punishingly expensive and parents, women in particular, will be getting more of the same help from the new PM: absolutely nothing.

I've put together a tracker of all the aid cuts we know about so far for @devex.

This will be regularly updated as the impact on vital development and humanitarian programs continues to emerge.

Have a read and let me know if anything has been missed:
