Dear John, Important milestone! Congratulations on 4th year anniversary. I have no doubt Africa CDC will indeed make a difference in response to #COVID19 and the wellbeing of #Africans. Keep your good work and my best wishes. African Union World Health Organization (WHO) John Nkengasong United Nations Geneva UN Vienna

OECD policymakers & international organisations must ask “why vaccine nationalism?”. It is not an isolated case! It exhibits basic trend-an underlying erosion of #globalcollaboration #multilateralism & denial of common good #Agenda2030! RETHINK!

A productive conversation on new global order/governance that fits 21st century is timely. It must fit the new socio-economic paradigm & must aim for a thriving global economy, mutual interest, response to global threats & support #developing countries.

The Oxford Handbook of the Ethiopian Economy is a landmark scholarly work authored by 70 leading scholars. It is the first of its kind in Africa & took over 4 years. Arkebe Oqubay shares the genesis. bit.ly/ARKEBE01 Oxford Academic @OUPEconomics African Union UNIDO SOAS University of London @ODI

A vital & timely message for global collaboration! G7, G20, UN must ACT on 3 key priorities. 1) Unified response to #COVID19 & #economicrecovery 2) Common position on climate change & #environmentalsuatainability 3) Support to developing countries & #Agenda2030. Project Syndicate

Dear brother Makhtar, Congratulations and my best wishes in your new post. IFC will be badly needed in #developing countries in the current crisis and the post-Covid19 period. @Diop_WB UNIDO @OECD_Centre African Union World Bank @DavidMalpassWBG

True! This requires a paradigm shift to develop #cities that serve their residents. The solutions have to be people-oriented & aim to build sustainable/green cities. Mayors must champion such initiatives & engage its residents. UN-Habitat UN Trade and Development African Union World Bank @ODIdev
