Rounding out the time of @UNUniversity Rector Professor Marwala's time on campus with a visit from local students at @portamosana, who developed and presented new ideas for advancing the #SDGs in #Maastricht. Inspiring to hear from young agents of change!
We have the honor of hosting our @UNUniversity Rector Tshilidzi Marwala and Int'l Advisory Board here in #Maastricht. Here are scenes so far from an #AI workshop, lunch with Mayor @AnnemariePenn and city Aldermen, and a great event with our students. Welcome @tmarwala!
Interesting. I've confronted this when looking at social protection benefit levels relative to international poverty lines.
Adequacy in countries just below the next cliff looks very good, but then much worse as countries cross the next threshold.

From protection to transformation: understanding the landscape of formal #SocialProtection in #Jordan https://t.co/lvZW6KTAsh Interesting paper by @TamaraAKool @mary_kawar and @zinanimeh that reflects on existing programs and social protection policies in Jordan 🇯🇴
We have a – not unreasonable – quote for almost eradicating poverty in Nepal. The question is whether the world’s governments are prepared to pay.

🚨New research from @UNUMERIT has proven that international financing of #socialprotection in low-income countries could slash #poverty at a relatively low cost. A Global Fund for Social Protection is affordable & more urgent than ever.

It is a proud, yet humbling experience to receive the three @ILO keys as Director-General-elect.
I am deeply conscious of the enormity of the challenges of the present context.
Only through global action, and with tripartite determination can social justice and peace prevail.
