Nobody cares more about improving the UN than we do. And my humanitarian colleagues on the frontlines show every day why this work matters so much. My interview with @baysontheroad on @AJEnglish:

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

A valuable and energising exchange with UN Resident Coordinator @ConilleGarry and the @UNICEFKenya team on how we can sharpen and reframe our collective offer in support of #Kenya’s national priorities.
Our discussion covered the breadth of UNICEF’s work from sustaining essential services for children in a rapidly evolving operating environment to advancing adolescent development, skills, and employability for young people & PFM for Children as central pillars of Kenya’s human capital agenda.
We also reflected on how the #UN system can move with greater coherence, agility, and purpose bringing our comparative strengths together to help accelerate national priorities and deliver more integrated, measurable impact for children and young people.
Thank you, UNRC @ConilleGarry, for your strategic insights and clear vision for a more joined-up UN offer that is anchored in national ambition and responsive to the needs of Kenya’s next generation.
Your leadership on #OneUN coherence is a critical force multiplier for how we support government, partners, communities, and young people to turn priorities into progress.
@UNICEFKenya remains committed to working as part of one UN family to help ensure every child and young person has the opportunity to survive, learn, be protected, and thrive. @UnKenya

Today, @UNICEFKenya with @MOH_Kenya is holding a stakeholder forum for the First Food Africa Initiative together with Govt ministries, UN, development partners & private sector alliances, to discuss unique needs of children in the food systems & how to address dietary challenges.
C'est avec un immense plaisir que j'ai accueilli dans mes bureaux à Nairobi ce jour le Directeur Philippe Camille Akoa du #Feicom. Le même plaisir que pendant nos années de collaboration au Cameroun, la même passion de donner un visage humain à la décentralisation au Cameroun – at Nairobi, Kenya
