Electrification must go beyond connecting households to the grid.
For Africa, expanding electricity access must go hand in hand with powering productive sectors, enabling industrialisation, creating jobs and strengthening local economies.
A renewable energy-centred pathway can help ensure that electrification becomes a driver of economic transformation, not simply increased electricity consumption.
🚨 UPDATE: The storm left Kitenga Primary’s teachers with absolutely nothing, but the Mubende community is already rallying. We need 5,000 bricks and critical funds to clear the debris and start rebuilding immediately. Every shilling counts. 📲 DM us right now to help! 👇

When the worst happens and lives are at risk, the people who come to help should never be targets.
We risk everything to serve others.
We are not targets.
Uphold the law. Shield the brave.
Don’t look away. Act now.

Despite progress, gender equality at work remains a challenge — from unequal paychecks and gaps in social protection to disparities in employment rates.
@ilo works to close gender gaps in the labour force for a better future for all.
Refugee children and adolescents need immediate support to continue learning – and stronger collective action to ensure displacement does not interrupt their education.
Today in #Copenhagen, #ECW joined @udenrigsministeriet, @refugees and @gpforeducation to discuss strengthening our collective approach to refugee education.
By working together, we can help ensure refugee learners can enter, remain, learn and progress through safe, quality and recognized education pathways.
Thank you to #UNHCR and #Denmark 🇩🇰 for convening this important discussion.
Governments worldwide are increasingly achieving large-scale gains in foundational learning.
While approaches vary, some shared ingredients underpin success.
The Global Coalition for Foundational Learning summarizes what we can learn from them ⬇️ https://t.co/ZrElFUrwru

Local communities are ready! Land is allocated, but funding for construction is missing 🏗️. Investing in teacher staff quarters drastically cuts absenteeism and rewards rural dedication. Let's turn community land into thriving education hubs @WorldBankAfrica! #InvestInTeachers
