It is the time of the year where Resident Coordinators from around the globe gather to reflect on push for SDGs acceleration amidst complexe global environment. Feel privileged to be part of the key highlights of today engagement with UN SG @antonioguterres @AminaJMohammed

Thanks @nmuffuh for a great piece sharing UN’s value proposition in ensuring just #energy transition under your leadership “Breaking down silos, fostering collaboration & promoting a holistic approach to sustainable development” is indeed an imperative for impactful results.

We can’t discuss creative industries without insights from the sector's leaders. DCO @hillo_el praises today’s exceptional panel. From culinary arts to digital media, fashion to film, Africa’s creative industry is set for major growth. The UN must be ready to support this trend.

Resident Coordinator @PatPortelaSouza shares how the @UNCaboVerde already partners with the government to boost creative industries. They strengthen capacity in managing cultural heritage, support laws to formalize artists' status, and ensure quality control of cultural products.
