Today, UNFPA welcomed National Population Commission Nigeria for a deep dive into the protective role of birth & marriage registration in ending child marriage. Considering the huge population, federated system & vast country, context specific strategies needs to be implemented. Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Such a pleasure to be working with Equality Insights Open Data Watch Global Partnership to ensure everybody counts and no one is left behind. Thank you to governments of Australia and Solomon Islands for supporting inclusive data systems to end poverty.

My accidental journey to a six-pack. In the last few years I have gone from this to this. I’m 54. I’ve suddenly got a 6-pack. Sort of. A 4-pack. I’ve lost 48 pounds (22 kg). My metabolic age has come down from 57 (when I was 51) to 49. I'm super fit. What happened?
