Even though they make up half the population, women and girls get a raw deal when it comes to city design. @UNDP is calling for them to have more say in the future. https:// news.un.org/en/story/2022/10…

Learn about behavioural change and gender divides in a war torn world with me and @ClemenceQuint talking A Load of BS.
I might be biased; but this is fascinating and poignant in equal measure.

What are your favorite think tanks headquartered in the Global South?
Self-promotion is welcome. Bonus if you include the country where it’s based, sectors of focus, and/or a link to where I can find research products (defined broadly). Any language is okay.

“To give women back the time they give to home care, we need to target men. Through experimentation @UNDPAccLabs @UNDP_Lebanon we learned the best hook to change behavior is self- reliance. You want to be a man, you better learn how to iron your shirt!” @lilian_az @qatar_fund

Happy International Youth Day 2022! See our @UNDPArabStates blog post 📇with @B_I_Tweets about our recently published toolkit on behavioural approaches to entrepreneurship programming #YouthDay @JenColville10
Being an #entrepreneur is assumed to be a question of personality. 💼
But social norms, regulations & availability of training can all impact entrepreneurship.
We developed a toolkit with @UNDP to identify & overcome the barriers to entrepreneurship.
