A milestone for the Solar Power plant in Moyamba & a model for others. Access to reliable energy unlocks opportunity, and the partnership shown between Sierra Leone, World Bank & UNOPS is laying the groundwork for lasting impact. Community engagement will be key to its success.

The adoption of the World Health Organization (WHO) #PandemicAgreement marks a pivotal step toward global health equity and preparedness. A result of 3 yrs of negotiation, it strengthens cooperation and ensures no country is left behind in the next pandemic. Congratulations to our World Health Organization (WHO) colleagues #WHA78

Today is #BiodiversityDay. BioDiversiry means the variety of life on Earth, from forests & rivers to the species that call them home. UNOPS supports local efforts to protect nature & restore livelihoods in communities that need it most. unops.org/news-and-stori…

Yesterday we concluded a focused, solution-driven meeting with the UNOPS Youth Engagement Platform. Together, we committed to embed youth voices in project design, delivery, and strategy. Aligning action with the #2030Agenda and youth aspirations.

Deep gratitude to UNOPS colleagues risking their lives allowing delivery of fuel to Gaza’s bakeries, hospitals & ambulances. I saw it during my visit, March. Now our team run convoys to destroyed areas & evacuation zones. Operating at great risk to access our fuel storage tanks

After 11 weeks of blockade, a narrow window has opened for aid to reach #Gaza. Fuel is moving. Bakeries, hospitals, ambulances are starting again. The #UN2720 Mechanism, mandated by the Security Council, can scale this. What’s needed now is political will, not new structures.

Our UNOPS team of UN2720 monitors worked late into the night yesterday - tracking aid from Ashdod port to arrival inside Gaza. Aid coming in remains far short of what’s needed. We need consistent, reliable access through all corridors - now.

After 11+ weeks of blockade, truckloads of United Nations aid are now temporarily allowed into Gaza. It’s a vital step, but a drop in the ocean of urgent needs. Through the #UN2720 Mechanism, we’re working round-the-clock to facilitate the entry & distribution of much-needed aid.

Chaotic, desperate, incredibly sad and dangerous scenes in #Gaza today underscore once again that we need a credible system to deliver aid that works and is proven

My oped Devex. In the world’s most fragile contexts, helping people is never just about logistics. It’s also fundamentally about trust. It is vital to look at what transparency and trust can achieve in humanitarian responses in Gaza and beyond👇 devex.com/news/opinion-a…

Great meeting with NY Senator Jack M. Martins Senator Jack M. Martins to discuss how UNOPS provides practical solutions on infrastructure and procurement in developing countries. By coincidence, we found that part of our families is coming from the same community in Barcelos, Portugal🇵🇹.
