Investing in young children and families is essential to building strong communities. How can cities lead the way?

On March 12, join us for a conversation with city leaders sharing lessons and practical strategies from the field. https://t.co/u7dStYPmuF

[Alice Evans @_alice_evans]

why do global elites keep pretending that all women everywhere are struggling with the exact same obstacles?

and need one-size-fits-all solutions??

it's bonkers.

In Nigeria, women in the workforce are rarely supported by the law, particularly in terms of accessible maternity leave, workplace childcare facilities, and other legal protections.

[BudgIT Nigeria @BudgITng]

🗣️ Dear Nigerian women,

Many of the policies shaping women’s lives are decided in rooms where women are barely present.

That should worry us.

Now we need to change that by getting involved and following conversations about public finance. Women are passionate about issues that affect them. Public finance should be one of them.

Chronic [and other forms of] undernutrition are critical for brain development.
But here’s what the data for Nigeria is also saying: many non-malnourished children under the age of 5 are not developmentally on track and fail to reach physical, cognitive and socio-emotional developmental milestones.

This signals that the pathway to holistic cognitive and early childhood development requires more: stimulation, caregiving, early learning, health, protection from stress.

If we are thinking about future economic losses or gains, a full early childhood lens looking at the #first2000days is needed.

[gst @wearegst]

Protein and calcium are disappearing from Nigerian diets.

39 million Nigerians are undernourished.
49 million face severe food insecurity.
1 in 3 children risk protein deficiency.

This is malnutrition by design.

Human capital is built where life happens—where we learn, work and grow. When progress stalls, opportunity & growth stalls too.

The new @WorldBankGroup Human Capital Report shows where countries are falling behind & what it will take to move forward.

In Japan wasting pencils is disrespectful, so pencil extenders are used to follow the mottainai spirit and use every bit.

Valuing the forward looking piece here… that we can all start to choose differently. Wishing & hoping.

🚨 NIGERIA WILL HAVE MORE BIRTHS THIS YEAR THAN ALL OF EUROPE - THE MAP IS BEING REDRAWN

India: 23 million births in 2025. One in six humans born this year will be Indian.

Nigeria: 7.6 million births. More than Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, the Netherlands, and Romania combined.

Europe's total: 6.3 million across the entire continent.

Japan, once a demographic powerhouse, will see fewer than 750,000 births. South Korea: 245,000. These aren't rounding errors - they're extinction-level fertility rates for advanced economies.

China is at 8.7 million despite decades of decline.

Africa has eight countries in the top 30 for births, and the Democratic Republic of Congo alone will produce 4.6 million - more than the entire United States.

Here's what the data actually means: economic power, military capacity, consumer markets, and geopolitical influence follow population over the long term. Europe is debating pension reform while Africa is building the world's youngest workforce.

Germany can't staff its factories. Nigeria can't employ its youth. One has capital and aging infrastructure. The other has surplus labor and resource wealth.

The 21st century's power map isn't being drawn in boardrooms - it's being determined by maternity wards in Lagos, Kinshasa, and Delhi.

Demographics aren't destiny, but they're a hell of a down payment.

Recently, we launched the State of Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) Report—Nigeria’s first data-driven assessment of how all 36 states are enabling women to thrive across agriculture, entrepreneurship, labour markets, emerging industries, and education/skills acquisition.

@AbdulMahmud01 People can become one of the largest sources of national wealth, but only with the right investments in early childhood development, health, education, and skills. Human capital is built over a lifetime starting from the early years (age 0-5).

[Ritgak @rdimka]

@AbdulMahmud01 Sir, infrastructure (produced capital) matters and is necessary because it lowers costs and enables economic activity. But the numbers point to the fact that growth tends to accrue where human capital is strong.
