In South Africa, kicking off the countdown to the first-ever Global SME Ministerial with Nelson Muffuh of United Nations in South Africa. Resident Coordinators are key to translating UN values into impact on the ground, including for small businesses. Full steam ahead to the Ministerial in July!

In times of trade turbulence, intra-African trade can drive economic growth across the continent, with small businesses playing a key role. Parks Tau, great to work together to reflect the voice of small business in trade in South Africa and beyond, ahead of the #SMEMinisterial.

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." This African proverb holds true as we move forward on the #SMEMinisterial in July, convening 50+ countries. Hosted with Department of Small Business Development led by Stella Tembisa Ndabeni, with support from United Nations in South Africa led by Nelson Muffuh.

We can dwell on problems. Or drive solutions. Through the WTO Investment Facilitation for Development Agreement, developing countries can attract investment to make trade flow more smoothly, efficiently. That's a goal worth pursuing. At the Hamburg Sustainability Conference.

For resource-rich developing countries to fully benefit from trade, processing is key. We're supporting Cotton4+ countries to move African cotton up the value chain, working with UNIDO and others under the Partenariat pour le Coton. At the Hamburg Sustainability Summit.

Ahead of the Commonwealth Trade Ministers Meeting in Namibia, great chat with Deputy Prime Minister Natangwe Ithete and Amb. Julia Imene on shared goals, from women's empowerment to critical minerals. Fun fact: Jamaica hosted the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in 1975.

Women in Mongolia have long worked and learned alongside men. It's fitting the first MOU we sign with a business support organization under our #WEIDEFund with WTO is with МҮХАҮТ. With Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Tur-Od Lkhagvajav, we'll work to see more women benefit from digital.

We held our first-ever Partnerships for Africa Day. The AfCFTA is the single most important decision made by heads of government of Africa in 60 years. It's critical we get this right. That's why partnerships matter. My statement: intracen.org/news-and-event…

The cement that keeps the multilateral trading system working is trust. Or it's a free-for-all. For those who believe in stability and order, we have to fight to ensure we're on the right side of history. My message to joint university study tour group: intracen.org/news-and-event…

The world is changing and Uganda is rising to meet it. Sustainable business is coming through investment climate improvements, trade facilitation and e-commerce. Led by Ministry of Trade Ug with EU in Uganda support, we're targeting growth through small businesses, led by women and youth.

Wishing you all the best, Achim Steiner, and thank you for your service and commitment to development. As we as the UN navigate the changing environment, we recommit to making sustainable, inclusive development a reality for all.

Whenever I have the privilege of seeing our in-country work, I make it a point to connect with the wider UN family. With the UN Country Team in Uganda. Looking forward to building on our work towards sustainable, trade-led development, Resident Coordinator Leonard Zulu.

Now’s the time to strengthen trade and investment partnerships, at a time of unprecedented changes. The African-Irish relationship is long-standing, with a long-term vision. Thanks to Michael Gaffey and Irish Aid for your ongoing support of Africa’s development and International Trade Centre (ITC).

When it comes to the green transition in Africa, investment has to be part of a larger whole. How do you ensure investment develops the continent? That value is added rather than extracted? There has to be investment in an ecosystem. At Africa Ireland Trade Horizons. #AITH2025

Tarifs douaniers américains: "Tous les pays ne subissent pas le même impact. Tous ces facteurs touchent le plus durement ceux qui ont le plus à perdre, comme les pays moins développés. Dans le contexte actuel, une tempête parfaite se prépare." Pamela Coke-Hamilton, International Trade Centre (ITC)

Economic uncertainty has real-world consequences. As I briefed the United Nations Geneva press corps, a perfect storm is brewing—as trade becomes more unpredictable, aid is shrinking. A dual shock for developing countries in trade and aid. Here's what they can do: intracen.org/news-and-event…

US tariffs impact: "This move actually extends the period of uncertainty, undermining long-term investment and business contracts. All these factors hit those with the most to lose, the hardest. In short, in today's context, a perfect storm is brewing." Pamela Coke-Hamilton, International Trade Centre (ITC)
