I’m releasing $6 million from CERF - The UN's emergency fund to respond to the worst malnutrition crisis in Nigeria for five years. We need to get food to those in urgent need, and get systems in place to reduce risk of future crisis.



Busy day in DC 🇺🇸. Frank, thoughtful conversations with US lawmakers and officials on how we strengthen lifesaving humanitarian work. Also great to spar with Mehdi Hasan and chat with @Greta at Newsmax – on what we’re doing and why it matters.

🌎 faces many crises. We’ll work to put the fires out. But we need water in the 🚒 tank, and protection from those firing at it. My interview with Greta Van Susteren NEWSMAX on the case for US leadership in saving lives around the world. 👇 newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/tom… NEWSMAX Greta Van Susteren




Tomorrow, my last interview as Administrator will air. I speak with host Nadira Hira about some of the most memorable experiences during my time leading UN Development & our hosted entities UN Volunteers, UNCDF, UNOSSC & UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund Office. Great moments, sobering moments, but never in vain!




Incredible leadership in one of the toughest of jobs and through tough times. Thank you, Achim Steiner, for your courage, wisdom, drive and compassion. You leave a great legacy.

Amid record funding cuts, UN Humanitarian has launched a $29 billion appeal to reach those in urgent need. “We’ve been forced into a triage of human survival,” said @UnReliefChief Tom Fletcher. news.un.org/en/story/2025/…

記録的な資金削減が続く中、 国連人道問題調整事務所 UN Humanitarian は 緊急支援を必要とする人々に届けるために 「極めて重要性の高いニーズに絞った」 290億ドルの支援要請を発表しました。 「私たちは、人々の生存のための トリアージ(優先順位付け)を強いられています」


Thank you Maritza Chan for this important call to action, which I join, to the international community. This is a rallying cry: to protect lives, alleviate suffering, and uphold the promise of the UN and partners to humanitarian action.
