Interested in learning: What is the future for SRHR INGOs? How must INGOs change to remain relevant, sustainable, and legitimate? The TIME initiative was created with the understanding that one INGO can’t do this alone, but if we work as a community of INGOs, NNGOs, and donors, we can chart a course together that is equitable, resilient, and accountable. 18 SRHR INGOs have come together to collectively engage on three different levels on how they must evolve, transform, and transition their operating models to be more equitable, sustainable, relevant, and legitimate. #SRH #NGO #sexualhealth #globalhealth

Amazing news! The World Health Organization announced that Egypt is malaria-free. This is a significant milestone for the country after a nearly 100-year effort by the Egyptian government and people to end a disease that has been present in the country since 4000 B.C. Both Cape Verde, which achieved malaria-free certification earlier this year, and Egypt have proven that a malaria-free world is possible with the right tools, strong political leadership and steadfast commitment. https://bit.ly/4fw3sgb

25.6 million people: The number of #Sudanese enduring critical food shortages. 9 million people: Almost 20% of Sudan’s population – people who are in a food emergency or worse, meaning immediate action is needed to save lives. The IPC estimates that 168 million people in 42 nations are enduring a food crisis or worse, meaning they live in areas where #acutemalnutrition ranges from 10% to more than 30% of the populace. Like Sudan, many of the worst hunger zones are also conflict zones – including Myanmar, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Haiti, Nigeria and Gaza. War makes it all the harder for the international community to intervene. https://lnkd.in/gmfNAH5K

Investing in women isn't just the right thing to do—it's the key to creating stronger, more resilient communities.
