My main concern is for the safety of our staff and their families in #Ethiopia. At the same time, the civil war has spilled over to neighboring #Eritrea and even parts of #Sudan. The US and its allies can and should move to support…https://t.co/5OBNc5aCBk https://t.co/xeE0GByW71

Peter Williams, President of International Institute of Rural Reconstruction, @peterwil2 speaks at #UEForum2020 on the supply chain and how rural communities have disproportionate access to critical services such as healthcare. #WorldHabitatDay2020

Happy to be presenting tomorrow at @EconomyUrban. Thanks to @UNHABITAT and the other organizing partners for the opp to discuss #supplychains in #urban economies.

It's good to see our team working hard to improve #foodsecurity in Cambodia. This is just one part of #COVID19 #rural response. #farming #agriculture

[IIRR @IIRR]

IIRR Cambodia helps farmers adapt to the impacts of #COVID19 & apply #climate #change #adaptation measures by using the system of rice intensification techniques in the field. This approach builds smallholder farmer’s resilience to #environmental, #health and economic challenges.

Happy to be working with @UNHABITAT to deliver #landtenure to thousands of women in East #Africa. There is no reason [none whatsoever] for a woman to be denied the right to own property. Not in 2020, and not ever! #economicempowerment #socialjustice #IIRR

[IIRR @IIRR]

Our Land Tenure Security Project, in partnership with @UNHABITAT, helps smallholder farmers obtain land tenure for increased #foodsecurity. We’ve issued over 2,000 land titles so far with the majority going to poor women.

@HeatherPinnock For the men in the room, silence is violence.

[Peter Williams @peterwil2]

Building Back Better. What does and will this mean for #rural communities post-covid19? I discuss this in my recent article in @Devex. #DRR #IIRR #health #disaster #COVID19

[Devex @devex]

What will the future look like for the most rural communities after the #COVID19 pandemic? This op-ed by @peterwil2, president, @IIRR, takes a look at how the global south can prepare to live with #pandemic potentiality.

[Peter Williams @peterwil2]

As we did with @DFID_UK and @UNICEF during the #Ebola epidemic, #IIRR again stands ready to help #rural communities now affected by the #COVID19Pandemic

This is the first friend (and in this case, also teacher) that I have now knowingly lost to the #pandemic. RIP Michael. #terraform #covid19 #architecture #urbandesign #michaelsorkin https://t.co/zkPmswrdb5

Sad that this still needs reaffirming in 2020. #girlseducation #IIRR #EndPoverty #impinv

[IIRR @IIRR]

If we’re being serious about #endingextremepoverty, then there’s no need to justify why every girl must have an #education.

An educated woman has the skills, information, and self-confidence that will prepare her to be a better parent, worker, and citizen.

Agribots are among the new #agtech products that promise to build efficiency into farming. But what will be the lasting economic impact on #pastoralists and smallholder farmers?

#Netzero goals by the fossil-fueled aviation industry only delay the policies required to phase them out. A bold assertion for the UK sector. Applicable for others too? #carbonneutral #esginvesting #fossilfuels #innovation #climatechange https://t.co/BpfaEtuJh1

Malnutrition is a public health problem globally. In the #Philippines, we work w/ the Scaling Up Nutrition-Civil Society Alliance Philippines (SUN-CSA Ph) & the National Nutrition Council to significantly lower malnutrition rates & strengthen nutrition-sensitive programming.
