In this world of #polycrisis, we have to transcend the #humanitarian and #development divide and fix and fly the plane at the same time. Take a look at this new opinion piece by Pathfinder's Murtala Mai:

"Already, 80% of people displaced by the climate crisis globally are women. #ClimateJustice is a global feminist issue." Saving the planet and each other is a great #feminist cause. Fatima Bhutto The Guardian Guardian Opinion theguardian.com/commentisfree/…



Lydia Saloucou Zoungrana Lydia Saloucou is an amazing leader for Pathfinder, for Africa and for all of us. I am so delighted to serve with her.

Congratulations, Dr Joseph Komwihangiro!

New study: In the areas in #Uganda where Living Goods supported community health workers operate, "there was a 46% reduction in under-five mortality compared to control areas following rainfall deficit seasons." livinggoods.org/media/new-rese…

Congratulations to the whole #ActWithHer Ethiopia team for these wonderful impacts! Some results: girls reported significantly less violence, and had a significant increase in voice and agency. CARE (care.org) GAGE programme Yidnekachew Mogessie tenagne kebede @callies04 CAG @TriciaPetruney

Powerful new blog by our President for Africa Lydia Saloucou: "It sounds obvious, but unfortunately, it’s not always common practice: When designing programs meant to “empower” women, we must listen to women themselves."

Delighted to be at #UNGA78 and meeting our wonderful partners to amplify the importance of community health workers in delivering health care. Come join our Pathfinder event on building climate-adaptive health systems with communities, women & youth on Thursday- and say hi!

I shared with the The Minnesota Star Tribune my thoughts on how we can make #Minnesota, my beloved home state, the best possible place to have a baby. We have a lot to build on in Minnesota, but we need to make headway on equity, and listen to women: startribune.com/minnesotas-fut…
