Honoured to speak at Uganda Mission to the UN on accelerating Africa’s transformation.

We called for Africa-led finance, local innovation, and trust in citizen solutions.

Innovation must be backed by investment—not just hope.

“Africa’s future isn’t a funding crisis —it’s an investment opportunity.”

At #HLPF2025, Uganda led a powerful call for bold, Africa-owned finance, innovation, & STEM to drive the #SDGs.

Business-as-usual won’t work—Africa’s time is now.

Gender equality is a life course issue. From pay gaps in youth to caregiving burdens in old age, inequalities stack up over time.

At #HLPF2025, we were reminded: to advance #SDG5, we must act across every stage of a woman’s life.

🚨 Not a single #SDG3 target is on track—but this is our wake-up call.

With bold leadership, inclusive innovation & integrated action, we can course-correct. Health must be our foundation, not just our goal.💡🌍 #HLPF2025 #GlobalGoals #UHC @ESDC_GC

“We cannot continue with the status quo.” At #HLPF2025, only 37% of #SDGs are on track. Urgent action, real inclusion & localized innovation are critical. Grateful to @ESDC_GC & the Canadian 🇨🇦 delegation!
