#UNDP, prevention is central to our work. When done well, development is prevention. Investments in governance, rule of law, jobs, social cohesion, resilient institutions are effective ways to reduce conflict risk and build lasting peace. My contribution at the #GenevaPeaceForum
In a time of growing global challenges, progress depends on those who choose to act now. They are the #HeroesofTomorrow

When hardships overlap, we call it multidimensional poverty. Today, 1.2 billion live this way. undp.org/speeches/internatio…
Poverty is about more than how much money someone earns.
It’s being hungry. Living without electricity. A child missing school.
A good, dependable job can help change that. It can bring stability, open up choices and give people the chance to plan for the future.
Everyone deserves that chance.

We ask families to build for the next storm.
But can they be sure they have a right to stay on the land beneath their home after a disaster?

🇺🇦 Ukraine’s veterans aren't just heroes of the past – they are the builders of the future. From digital services in Diia to reskilling and entrepreneurship, supporting their reintegration is vital for the country’s recovery, writes @UNDP head in Ukraine @AukeLootsma 🔗 english.nv.ua/amp/why-vetera…
ALT In Sumy Oblast, a veteran-led space brings together veterans and their families for rehabilitation, adaptive sports and peer support.
