More evidence on gender impact of cash transfers: secondary school attendance up by 12.4 percentage points; increases in girls’ academic aspirations; delays in early marriage; regular monitoring of weekly attendance boosts attendance sustainably! Congrats Abu Syeid Shonchoy

Sobering thoughts on why we need to take demography seriously: "how to sustain economic vibrancy if and when the number of people working — thinking, experimenting, inventing and investing — stops increasing, or declines. Wise societies would prepare" washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Exciting announcement today on our expanded ambition to tackle poverty & global hunger. As Ajay said: “Put simply: hunger and poverty are intertwined. We need to take them on and work hard to rid our world of both.” Together with countries and partners, we can achieve this.

Such a pleasure to feel the palpable energy and passion among world leaders in their support for proven social protection solutions to fight poverty and hunger. Achieving our collective ambition to reach 500 million people with social protection by 2030 feels within our reach.
