My #DrakensbergInclusiveGrowthForum remarks, on taking #Africa’s agenda to the world, explored 4 things that matter: voice, narrative, agency & agenda Africa is present in global decision-making. But presence is not impact Global influence must also ensure better lives at home

On #UNDay, I think of the inequalities & hardship I have witnessed, deepened by poor governance, conflicts & climate change. They have strengthened my belief in multilateralism & our shared ability to improve lives, restore hope & build shared prosperity. Humility in service!

At #UNGA, one message is clear: achieving the #SDGs requires concerted action to tackle inequality and accelerate #ClimateAction. A more just, resilient, and sustainable future depends on ensuring that no one is left behind while safeguarding our planet for generations to come.

It’s time for beneficiation rather than extraction and above all to scale up doing business with #Africa rather than business in Africa. #UNGA #UnstoppableAfrica high level opening with @_AfricanUnion Commission Chair @ymahmoudali & @UN Secretary-General @AntonioGuterres

Countries are increasingly "defaulting on development due to the fear of defaulting on debt", diverting resources from the #SDGs [with only 4 years to the 2030 deadline]. The cost of capital remains one of the greatest barriers to sustainable development. #SDGMoment #UNGA

Women and girls across and beyond South Africa have the right to live free from violence. Recent killings underscore the urgent need for stronger prevention, better protection, greater accountability, and adequately resourced response systems. Read: southafrica.un.org/en/322788…

Every woman and girl has the right to live free from fear and violence. Outrage must be matched by stepped-up collective action to end gender-based violence and femicide through accountability, prevention, and protection. We all have a role to play. #ProtectWomenAndGirls #SDG5

Delighted to see Ambassador @AmbMKimani appointed as @UN Assistant Secretary-General for Africa in @UNDPPA. As we say in Cameroon, a square peg in a square hole! Wishing him every success in the journey ahead.
