Asante, CS @hannawcheptumo, for a forward-looking discussion. We welcome Kenya's leadership on an integrated, rights-based child protection system backed by sustained financing & a strong frontline workforce. @UNICEFKenya stands ready to support.
#ForEveryChild
Building on the bilateral engagements held on the sidelines of the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), I held a meeting with Dr. @ShaheenSnilofer @UNICEFKenya Representative to Kenya and her team .
The engagement forms part of ongoing efforts to accelerate collaboration between the Ministry and UNICEF Kenya on child protection systems strengthening, National child protection Priorities, prevention and response to violence against children, child-sensitive social protection and the professionalisation of the social service workforce.
The Ministry values UNICEF’s technical partnership in advancing a responsive and integrated child protection system in Kenya.

“Every pass goes back. And still the team moves forward,” said UN Resident Coordinator @ConilleGarry.
Bornface & Kevin show how progress gathers pace when people share what works & institutions help practices take root beyond one farm or rugby pitch.

Runner-up Kevin Wekesa is taking environmental action beyond the rugby pitch.
Through Play Green, the Kenyan Olympian promotes reusable bottles and match-day recycling, has planted over 1,500 trees and brought climate workshops to more than 40 schools.

6/6 “The private sector is not a sponsor of development. It is a co-author,” added UN RC Dr Conille.
Safaricom's milestone reinforces a wider ambition: aligning business investment, public policy and partnerships to accelerate the #SDGs and expand opportunities for all.

Threats to peace are also moving online.
Disinformation, hate speech and harassment targeting women in public life demand stronger digital responses, with young people engaged as partners in prevention.

Every contribution counts.

3. Partners help most when they line up behind the government's own plan. Fifty parallel projects, each well designed, can leave the state weaker than they found it.

ADDRESS: Strengthening Development Partnerships for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth - Dr. Gary Conille, UN Resident Coordinator in Kenya
#ACIS2026 #KNCCI60 #AfricasNextEraOfTrade
$685 billion: what workers abroad sent home to low- and middle-income countries in 2024. More than foreign direct investment and official aid combined (World Bank).
The diaspora is already a leading financier of development. Financial products built for it are still rare.
Each concessional dollar in blended finance mobilised $5.33 last year, up from $4.14. Yet sub-Saharan Africa's volume fell 46%, to $4.6bn, and it lost its lead for the first time in a decade. The bottleneck isn't capital. It's country-led pipelines.

I trained as a doctor before I worked on policy. Medicine judges you by whether the patient gets better, not by the elegance of the diagnosis. Development deserves the same test.
I'll write here on how delivery happens in hard places. Views my own.
