We @UNFPA are mourning the loss of our dear colleague Betty Arnold-Talbert, Director of the Sub-regional Office for the Caribbean.
Betty advocated tirelessly for the rights of women and young people. Her warm spirit touched the lives of so many.
May she rest in eternal Peace.
Delighted to be in #Japan and spend time with @UNFPA civil society partners offering #SRHR services and information to young people.
They are key agents of change committed to advancing the #ICPD agenda and ensuring rights and choices for all.

All set for the 2nd conference on reproductive, maternal, newborn, child & adolescent health(RMNCAH).
We are proud to support the governments efforts to disseminate, validate & learn lessons of available best practices & evidence-based interventions on RMNCAH for scale-up.
Elated to see women taking the lead in pursuing the Big 5 Game Changers we promised. In my address to WIAN strategic planning workshop, I urged them to amplify women’s role in agriculture, build their capacity in modern farming techniques, and adopt climate smart agriculture.
Young people must have their voices heard at all times. We cannot not be passive participants in the conversations about our future.
We must get active and create the future the way we want it.

My Fellow Sierra Leoneans,
The time is upon us to fully harness our country’s #agriculture potential to spur sustainable economic growth and social progress to improve the quality of life of our people.
I invite you all to join us on this Agricultural Odyssey to revolutionise the agriculture sector by building a nation that feeds itself, creates #jobs, contributes to the world’s breadbasket, and conserves the #environment for current and future generations.
My Minister of Agriculture and Food Security @hmkpaka will lead the implementation of the FEED SALONE transformation agenda.
I will launch the FEED SALONE PROGRAMME on Monday, October 16, 2023.
Together, Let’s FEED SALONE.
Happy Nyerere Day 💥

Midwives are heroes who make motherhood safer.
On the International Day of the Midwife, let's celebrate midwives for their commitment to saving lives and safeguarding the health of women and newborns: https://t.co/1q8t67l4WI
#IDM2023
In a world that sees a woman die every two minutes due to pregnancy or childbirth, we also take this moment to champion universal access to skilled midwives as one of the most important ways to avert preventable maternal and newborn deaths. #IDM2023
The world will not solve its greatest challenges by treating fertility rates as the problem. Inequality is the problem.
See why we need to change the narrative on population change: https://t.co/24NlWQpYlp
#DidYouKnow: If all women in developing regions with an unmet need for contraceptives were able to use modern methods, maternal deaths would be reduced by about a quarter?
