Energising to attend @opengovpart global summit in Tallinn this week. So great to meet govt & CSO partners from around the world to reflect how openness, transparency & participation are critical to address global democratic decline & respond to authoritarian threats #OGPEstonia

The UK’s new Women and Girls Strategy is a huge leap forward for gender equality.

Our efforts focus on the 3 E's which represent the most significant challenges, offer the greatest gains and where the 🇬🇧 UK can add the most value. #RightsFreedomPotential #IWD2023

Looking forward to meeting @OECDdev colleagues at the Governance Network plenary this week & discussing efforts to support democratic governance. More important than ever with democracy under threat globally and at lowest levels since the mid 1990s.
