Great to be back in Sierra Leone, visiting our work on the ground, meeting the team, and connecting with friends and partners. @BRACWorld remains committed to growing and deepening our presence in the country to deliver impactful solutions for those who need it most.

A huge milestone for BRAC as we launch our work in Ghana. In the next few years, we aim to reach hundreds of thousands of marginalised women with responsible financial services and scale livelihood opportunities to support them towards greater self-reliance and resilience.

I welcome the UK’s renewed focus on ending #extremepoverty – at the halfway point of the #SDGs , this could not be more urgent or necessary. BRAC stands ready to work with the UK Govt to get back on track to reach #SDG1 . #DevelopmentWhitePaper Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

Devastated by the passing of Saleemul Huq - a true champion of the marginalised, a stubborn fighter against climate change, and a tireless mentor to generations of #climate advocates. This is an irreparable loss for climate justice globally, and a very personal one for BRAC

The #GraduationApproach is now being scaled through govts in Africa & Asia to enable 4.6m households to escape extreme poverty by 2026.

Let's put resources & tools already at our disposal to work on #combatingpovertyandinequality .

It was great to join Raj Kumar today to discuss the need to stay the course on the #SDGs . There are proven solutions that can create impact at scale - but we need to move away from short-term piecemeal programming to bold, integrated, community-led solutions. Devex #UNGA78

Everyone wants to reinvent the wheel on poverty reduction. Meanwhile, the few initiatives that have taken inspiration from effective approaches have achieved both scale and effectiveness, write BRAC’s Shameran Abed & @jpal’s Esther Duflo.

Ending #extremepoverty is within reach. Esther Duflo of J-PAL and I argue that we must deliver on the promise of #SDG1 by investing existing resources into proven, multifaceted approaches like Graduation, and taking them to scale. tinyurl.com/f6fjtcjh Devex

We must work closely with the communities we serve & understand the differences in each context to address the needs of those furthest behind. BRAC is doing this through the Graduation approach, which we aim to scale thru govts to end #extremepoverty . Clinton Global Initiative #UNGA78
