In a statement released #today, @UNEthiopia Head @Ozonnia Ojielo says the situation in northern #Ethiopia presents serious concerns over civilian protection and calls on all parties to ensure people affected by the crisis receive the assistance they need, safely & without delay.
In this video, @UNDPAfrica’s Chief Economist and Head of Strategy, Analysis & Research @raymondgilpin shares his reflections on The Gambia’s 2025 National Human Development Report - Expanding Opportunities for the Dynamic Youth of The Gambia.
With more than four in ten Gambians aged 15–35, the country’s young population is a powerful opportunity for transformation. The #NHDR2025 explores how relevant skills, decent jobs, entrepreneurship and greater youth participation can help unlock this potential.

On World Humanitarian Day, I’m sharing a thought: crises do not create volunteerism—they reveal the social infrastructure that already exists.
Yet humanitarian responses consistently rely on volunteers while planning, financing and protecting their operations as if volunteer-based delivery barely exists.
That is not an implementation gap. It is a design flaw.
Fortunately, there is already a wealth of practice showing how properly institutionalized volunteer action can strengthen humanitarian response. In my article, I highlight several examples, drawing on recent studies.
We need to build on what works.

En los últimos meses, me he reunido con con Jefes de Estado y de Gobierno, Ministros y autoridades de los Estados miembros en 27 ciudades de todas las regiones del mundo. Esas conversaciones confirman lo que mi trabajo ya ha exigido: estricta imparcialidad, fidelidad a la Carta de la ONU y servicio a todos los países, grandes y pequeños, medido por los resultados en la vida de las personas. Eso es lo que debemos representar quienes aspiramos a liderar las Naciones Unidas. #newUN
Ten years at UNV yesterday — five as Deputy Executive Coordinator, five in my current role.
Before that: a decade in the Pacific and Myanmar, arriving at HQ for what I thought was a short “mandatory” stint. @HelenClarkNZ’s advice at the time: “Help fix this place, then back to the field.” Little did we know.
Turns out I never left the field — @UNVolunteers just gave me a closer view of the work colleagues do on the frontlines of peace, development and human rights.
Grateful to everyone who’s been part of this. Apologies for what I didn’t get to. The journey continues
Je suis ici aujourd'hui au nom de la paix : la paix que mes parents ont trouvée en fuyant la guerre et en reconstruisant leur vie au #CostaRica, un pays qui leur a généreusement offert des opportunités et une vie meilleure.
Pour moi, la Charte des Nations Unies n'est pas un document abstrait. C’est ma vie.
C'est pourquoi je suis candidate au poste de prochaine Secrétaire générale de l'ONU. #newun
Enjoyed joining the #Andalucía-North Morocco #anmar Forum in Tangier! Grateful to @AECID_es for our ongoing collaboration in #Morocco and happy we are already identifying ways to enhance our partnership with a focus on #territories! Vamos! 🇪🇸🇺🇳 @PNUDMaroc
Grateful for the support we received from #ACCD for this work on women's participation in decision-making! Merci 🙏 and looking forward to deepening this collaboration
Merci à Virginie Rouquette, Directrice générale de @CitesUniesFR pour les échanges fructueux avec le @PNUDMaroc. Nous serons heureux de contribuer aux Assises sur la #coopérationdécentralisée de décembre en partageant notre riche expérience au #Maroc!
There’s something special about discovering places that make you slow down and appreciate your surroundings; @kaynelafarmsltd is one of those places.✨
From incredible birdlife and wildlife, to an orchard of rare fruits, a crocodile site, beautiful cottages, sports facilities, a swimming pool, and even woodwork and pottery centres, it offers a unique blend of nature, relaxation, culture, and agrotourism. 🦜🍇🐊🏡
Experiences like this remind me why I love exploring Uganda. They capture the spirit of the #SMYUG challenge, uncovering the hidden gems and authentic experiences that showcase the very best of Uganda🇺🇬❤️
If you're looking for a memorable staycation, I highly recommend taking some time to experience Kaynela Farms for yourself.
Thank you, Minister @AsmundAukrust for the substantive exchange. #Norway’s leadership on gender equality and its strong development strategies are more vital now than ever.
We deeply value our partnership as we advance rights & opportunities #ForAllWomenAndGirls together.
I believe that to defend the UN is to have the courage to change it. My candidacy for UN Secretary-General now has an official website where you can find my full vision statement, what motivates me and my experience.

Transparency isn't a talking point. It's a decision. That's why I stepped down from @UNCTAD the moment I became a candidate. Thank you @pass_blue for spotlighting it in your piece.
