It begins. 🌍

Day 1 of the #AfricaImpactSummit2026 opens in Lusaka — investors, founders, DFIs and governments, one continent's agenda.

Our Resident Representative, Dr @wakiaga, takes the stage with a question every investor on this continent should sit with. 👇

A smarter ASM sector starts with better systems.

Under the ACP-EU Development Minerals Programme, UNDP is supporting Zambia’s introduction of the #ASM Digital Admin System, advancing transparency, formalisation & more inclusive mineral resource governance.

Honoured to join @HHichilema in Solwezi to pay tribute to the young Zambians who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
​This symbolic gesture links the independence generation's bravery with the aspirations of today’s youth. The work of nation-building continues.

Really honored to lead the UN Country Team for a great meeting with President @HHichilema and his team. We discussed national priorities to our shared vision for the future. We’re fully committed to supporting the Government’s agenda for a more prosperous Zambia. 🇿🇲🇺🇳

Today, I highlighted the power of collaboration for human rights progress. The UN stands with Government, civil society, and other partners in supporting Zambia's Universal Periodic Review Mid-Term Report, working together for a more inclusive and just society.

Pleased to welcome USG Chaloka Beyani, Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, to Zambia 🇿🇲. We discussed strengthening prevention, countering mis/disinformation, and inclusive dialogue to safeguard peace ahead of the 2026 elections.

[Beatrice Mutali @MutaliBeatrice]

I joined Mr. Chaloka Beyani, Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, for a meeting with Hon. Nelly Mutti, Speaker of the National Assembly. We discussed the vital role of parliamentarians in advancing information integrity and look forward to our continued collaboration.

Speaking at #WPFD2026 in Lusaka, Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide Chaloka Beyani noted: “Media is one of the most powerful tools.. We must also confront hate speech, which fuels division & violence. Protecting press freedom means tackling harmful narratives head‑on.”

Chinese is more than a language. It’s a bridge. 🌉🀄️
On 20 April, we mark #ChineseLanguageDay and celebrate linguistic diversity across the UN’s six official languages.

From commitments to delivery.

At the 2026 #ECOSOC Financing for Development Forum, Chair of the @UN_SDG @AminaJMohammed urged action to turn financing commitments into real progress:

Jobs created, infrastructure built, families protected & communities made resilient.

I’m deeply concerned about the curtailment of navigational rights & freedoms in the area of the Strait of Hormuz disrupting energy, transport, manufacturing & food markets & strangling the global economy.

All of humanity is paying the price.

Consider these three scenarios:

1: Restrictions are lifted today

Supply chains will take months to recover, prolonging lower economic output and higher prices
Global economic growth will drop from 3.4%to 3.1%.
Global inflation – which had been declining – will climb from 3.8% to 4.4%.

2: Disruption drags on through midyear

Growth falls to 2.5%.
Inflation hits 5.4%.
32 million people are pushed into poverty.
Fertilizers run low, and crops yields fall short.
45 million more people will face extreme hunger.

3: Severe disruptions persist through the end of the year

Inflation skyrockets past 6%.
Growth plummets to 2%.
Immense suffering takes hold, especially among the world’s most vulnerable populations.

We confront the spectre of a global recession – with dramatic impacts on people, on the economy, and on political and social stability.

A free, independent press is a foundation for peace and justice. In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, shaped by AI, credible journalism can counter disinformation and foster understanding.

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we reaffirm that freedom of expression, ethical use of technology and the safety of journalists are essential to peaceful societies.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

Deeply saddened by the passing of Ted Turner, a true friend of the United Nations.

A pioneer whose historic generosity led to the founding of the @UNFoundation, helping to usher in a new era of public-private partnership in support of peace, dignity and sustainable development around the world.

His legacy will continue to live on through the work of the UN Foundation and through the countless lives touched by his belief in the power of people coming together to build a better future for all.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and the staff and Board of the Foundation.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

GDP is the most widely used metric of economic progress & well-being. But it cannot be the only one.

GDP is indifferent to whether income goes to billionaires or to the poor – or if that income goes to addressing hunger, health or deprivation.

Let’s count what matters: Health. Biodiversity. Job-creation. Human rights. Equality.

[Amina J Mohammed @AminaJMohammed]

I’m saddened by the passing of former President of the Botswana, Dr. Festus Mogae.

President Mogae was a visionary leader who helped shape Botswana’s remarkable story of stability and progress. His courage and compassion in responding to the AIDS crisis continued throughout his life. His deep belief in economic transformation of Africa inspired action across the Continent.

My heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones and the people of Botswana.
