We deeply value The Gambia’s leadership in hosting this important forum.
@UNDP remains committed to advancing peace and development in The Gambia & across the #Sahel.
At #SGF2025, we are discussing why, now more than ever, transitions must pave the way for sustainable peace, inclusive governance & long-term dev’t.
That is why instruments like #AFSIT are key to moving beyond short term fixes toward lasting solutions.

Honored to join @ASteiner and UN agencies at the Joint Meeting of the Executive Boards. At @UNDP, we remain firmly committed to the physical safety, mental well-being, and emotional resilience of our colleagues, especially those serving in fragile and high-risk environments.
“Leadership is nothing if no one is behind you. Thank you for the time we have walked & worked together”.
We appreciate your powerful words & dedicated service @ASteiner. You innovated @UNDP.
As you conclude your tour of duty, #Africa will miss you the most. Thanks Achim.
Thank you @ASteiner for your incredible leadership over the years as @UNDP’s Administrator. It has been a privilege working with you as my longest-serving boss.
Grateful for our shared journey in shaping a #FutureSmartUNDP & #FutureSmartAfrica together. Wishing you all the best.
Thank you @MarDieye for leading a frank and forward-looking discussion on reimagining development in the Sahel. The people of the Sahel are its greatest resource, their agency and voice must guide our collective efforts.
This world will not be healed until #women are treated equally.
The commitment outlined in the #AU convention to end violence against women & girls must be transformed into REAL ACTION on the ground.

Rapidly changing contexts call for @UNDP to constantly learn within & with our partners to ensure relevance & responsiveness to present & emerging dev't challenges.

I had a productive meeting with Dr. Doris Uwicyeza Picard @DodoPicard, CEO of the Rwanda Governance Board @GovernanceRw, to discuss Rwanda’s remarkable Home-Grown Solutions (HGS). These locally developed governance innovations provide valuable insights for other countries through South-South cooperation.
We also explored the idea of a regional conference on rethinking governance, an initiative she warmly welcomed.
UNDP remains committed to fostering knowledge exchange and strengthening governance systems across Africa.

“Poverty is not our father’s name”! That’s what I said as I laid out how competent governance can alter the lives of citizens of Africa countries toward prosperity.
