Briefed Member States in NY on Humanitarian Reset.   Regroup, reform, renew – 4 priorities:   🔹 Define lifesaving work 🔹 Deliver more efficiently 🔹 Devolve power 🔹 Defend values   This will need a huge collective effort.

I sat down with VG in Oslo to talk about Norwegian aid, defending humanitarian principles, and to sound some alarms. My interview ⬇️ vg.no/nyheter/i/W0z2…

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.

Sudan is facing brutal conflict, and indifference from the world. Where is the funding? Where is the accountability? We call on all with influence to step up. My statement: bit.ly/4jH3xyZ

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!

Thank you Angelina Jolie for a great discussion and your empathy towards those in greatest need. With displacement at a record high, your commitment to humanitarian work in tough places means a lot. Humanitarian action must be driven by practical solutions & with dignity.

"The math is cruel, and the consequences are heartbreaking." The UN has announced sweeping cuts to its global humanitarian operations, blaming what it described as the “deepest funding cuts ever” for a drastic scaling back of its aid ambitions aje.io/ztj4e7

Today we launch our plan to get lifesaving aid to 114m people in greatest need on planet. We’re forced by cuts to hyper prioritise, but we’re determined to do as much as we can with what we have. We ask just 1% of what world spent on defence in 2024. humanitarianaction.info

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.
