Just arrived in 🇲🇿 for a three-day visit, with my first stop in Vilankulos.

From its stunning coastline to its rich cultural heritage, Mozambique has all the ingredients to become one of Africa’s leading sustainable tourism destinations.

Food security is about stability, resilience, and opportunity.

While supplies of key staples remain broadly stable, conflict, climate shocks, & fragility continue to drive acute food insecurity for millions. New @WorldBankGroup insights: https://t.co/lfJEi2Otqr

Tourism is a powerful driver of jobs, growth, and opportunity.

At today’s High-Level Council on Jobs, I shared how the @WorldBankGroup is working through the Knowledge Bank to identify scalable solutions that attract investment, build skills, and create jobs at scale.

[Paschal Donohoe @Paschald]

A highlight of my visit to Cape Town was meeting Professor Tulio de Oliveira & the team at the Centre for Epidemic Response and Innovation. Their work is strengthening Africa’s ability to better understand & respond to health threats through science, research, & regional collab.

How do we strengthen health security while creating jobs and opportunity?

Today I visited the @biovac_inst in Cape Town. Local vaccine manufacturing can do more than protect lives—it can create skilled jobs and help build stronger local industries.

[Paschal Donohoe @Paschald]

As @bjerde_anna highlights, outbreaks are a reminder that health security depends on strong health systems. Infectious disease threats will continue to emerge. Our task is to detect them earlier, respond faster, & contain them more effectively. It starts with primary health care.

[Paschal Donohoe @Paschald]

Just landed in Cape Town for project visits & discussions with colleagues, partners, & clients, including the Jobs Council. Before every visit, I try to learn about the place & its history. This time I am reading: Understanding South Africa.

[Paschal Donohoe @Paschald]

The answer to today’s development challenges is not more fragmentation—it is greater coordination, stronger partnerships, and a focus on results. My @WorldBankGroup colleague Aki Nishio sets out six ways we can multiply our impact. Worth reading: https://t.co/JAyVmGC3D3

Books mean the world to me, and public libraries remain among the most important democratic spaces any society can invest in — places of learning, curiosity, opportunity, and community.

It was an honour to receive the President’s Medal today at Pearse Street Library in Dublin.

Development at scale will depend on much deeper collaboration between govts, dev. institutions, & private capital. The new @WorldBankGroup London Financial Solutions Hub reflects the importance of connecting global capital w/ global opportunity. My op-ed: https://t.co/ZiEb6m0yv4

[Paschal Donohoe @Paschald]

Concluded the day in London with engaging discussions at @ODI_Global and w/ parliamentarians at the House of Commons on how development is evolving beyond traditional aid models. As global needs grow faster than resources, coordination across institutions matters more than ever.

[Paschal Donohoe @Paschald]

Development at scale will depend on mobilizing far greater private capital. Proud to launch the new London Financial Solutions Hub today at the @LSEplc Exchange alongside partners from government, finance, and the @WorldBankGroup.

[Paschal Donohoe @Paschald]

At today's G7 Finance Track meeting, we issued a joint statement w/MDBs on the economic impacts of the conflict in the Middle East. Development & stability are deeply interconnected, & coordination is key in helping countries manage shocks & protect jobs: https://t.co/YcFJE1Pqfo

Without water, farmers can’t grow food, businesses can’t operate & children can’t study.

#WaterForward, a new global partnership by World Bank Group, is joining forces to bring water security to up to 1B people by 2030.

At the G20 Finance & Central Bank Deputies Meeting, discussions focused on the pressures facing the global economy—from commodity markets to supply chains & rising costs for households & firms.

In this context, protecting & creating jobs must be central to the global response.

Nearly 5M children die each year from preventable causes. Closing that gap must remain central to global development efforts.

A strong piece from @MamtaMurthi on scaling lifesaving care through the Global Financing Facility.
