A bridge collapses. Eleven children lose their lives.
Behind it: bribes, inflated contracts and illicit proceeds hidden across borders.
In a #GlobENetwork simulation exercise, practitioners followed the money, from a secure message to a Joint Investigation Team.

What does it take to rebuild trust in migration?
Listening to communities. Including migrants in decisions. Turning dialogue into action.
At #IDM2026, participants shared what needs to change, and why cooperation remains essential to making migration work for everyone.
To build climate resilience, we must first understand climate finance. Who funds it? Who accesses it? Who benefits?
Businesses & investments must be part of the answer — across every sector, not just one.
Resilience is not a project. It is an economy. @giftklima #ClimateFinance

Effective climate action depends on whose voices are heard, how decisions & resources are managed, & whether institutions deliver. Technology, infrastructure & finance matter, but so do public trust, rights & accountability. ¬ Gift Richard Maloya, Director @ClimateactionMW

Corruption is, at its root, a failure of integrity. Strengthening integrity works on three fronts:
• Prevention. Shared values and ethics make abuse of office less likely to start.
• Reporting. People of integrity refuse bribes and report wrongdoing.
• Enforcement. Laws work only when officials and institutions apply them honestly.

Measuring corruption is not about finding one perfect indicator.
It is about combining different data sources to build a clearer picture.
The new UNODC & @UNStats Practical Guide shows countries how to put this into practice: bit.ly/4cWXiXp

Why it is important to empower women in ESIA data collection? Because impacts are gendered but data is not.
We are empowering women as monitors to ensure disaggregated & truthful data, meet standards, and prevent conflicts before they happen.

ESIA is not just a document - it's a social contract. In Malawi's mining sector, an ESIA without grievance tools is just paper. In Karonga, we validated scorecards & grievance clinics with Council & communities so people can track dust, water & resettlement promises in real-time

Excited to share that the article we drafted based on the Chikwawa and Nsanje research was published by Researching Internal Displacement: researchinginternaldisplacem…

Critical minerals are essential to the energy transition—but meeting growing demand must not come at the expense of biodiversity, ecosystems, or the communities that depend on them.
Hear from @CortegaIGF at #COP17Armenia 👇
In Nathenje and other mining areas, women tell us:
Their houses develop cracks.
Their water sources get dusty & polluted.
Their children cannot study due to noise & fear.
Their crops are covered in dust.

Worst, women are rarely informed before blasting. No early warning. No compensation for damages. No space to say NO or to ask HOW.
This is not just environmental damage. It’s gender injustice.
