The Alma Ata declaration was a critical milestone for the world. Quality, affordable #PrimaryHealthCare is essential to meet the majority of people’s health needs and build #Humancapital & #HealthForAll. It's my great pleasure to hand off the #Astana2018 relay to @MelindaGates

With 200 million African #youth entering the labor force in the next few years, private-sector investment will be key to create jobs. #G20 #CompactWithAfrica is a model for how gov’ts, private sector & int’l orgs can join forces to find win-win opportunities for development.

#DoingBiz and #HumanCapital Index taught us that regardless how complex an area is, it can be measured. This promotes transparency & accountability. Congrats to 128 economies that undertook 314 reforms to improve their business environment—a record year! wrld.bg/zQ9I30mtmqY

The world can learn a lot from Guizhou, one of the poorest provinces of #China---from the way they’ve embraced #bigdata to tailor subsidies for poverty alleviation, to how companies use digital platforms to revolutionize truck delivery and elderly care services.

I saw how Taobao villages empowered new online entrepreneurs, allowing their young families to come back home and take care of their relatives, while enabling farmers to get a better price for their products.

5 million women & children are dying each year from preventable causes. We urgently need more & better-targeted financing for health. Replenishing The GFF on Nov. 6 will nearly double the number of countries it can help. #investinpeople #investinhealth linkedin.com/pulse/build-hu…
