Reflecting on a week of impactful meetings in New York: 🇺🇳 Discussion with Member States at the meeting of the Executive Board of UNOPS / UNDP /United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA): I had the chance to update Members on the implementation of our reform agenda (almost all 82 actions and 43 recommendations outlined in the comprehensive response plan have been implemented and the remaining 3 reforms will be implemented until the end of 2024). Almost done! I also had the opportunity to emphasize - through concrete examples on projects in >85 countries - our commitment to practical solutions, driving forward global efforts for sustainable development and a prosperous future.
