Mother’s Day was not meant to be reduced to gifts, offers, and commercial gestures. Let us celebrate mothers, but commercialize these days less, and ask which rights are still denied and why accountability is missing.

Corporate capture has a new address: the United Nations, Canada.
An open letter was sent to the leadership of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health. The demand is simple: end your partnership with Nestlé immediately. linkedin.com/posts/rogermath…

The most valuable support I received did not come from manuals or frameworks alone. It came from a network of colleagues and partners who had already been through similar processes. Great to see this kind of support now being intentional, accessible, and collective @MantisMentor

Strategic mentorship for social change isn’t a slogan for me. It’s lived experience.
From UN policy work to co-founding @MantisMentor, progress came from people who’d been there before—sharing perspective, tools, and questions.

A useful reminder to put people, not platforms, at the centre of digital transformation.
Digital transformation is often reduced to connectivity and tools. Frameworks like @EU_Commission’s DigComp 3.0 and Mantis Mentor’s NormativeAI initiative remind us that building inclusive digital futures requires investing in people, not just platforms. linkedin.com/posts/normative…

🎉 Congratulations to the Government of Viet Nam and all partners involved in this milestone for families, public health, social policy, and the nation. @Gendernutrition
Viet Nam takes a bold step to protect motherhood.
The new Luật Dân số extends maternity leave to 7 months for second births and adds paternity leave. A move toward rights-based, evidence-informed policy.

Real change happens when experience is shared and action is collective.
At @MantisMentor’s @UptakeCenter, we help connect those who know the process of change with those now leading it.
That is how knowledge becomes impact.
#EvidenceToAction #StrategicMentorship
From evidence to action.
At Uptake, we help partners turn knowledge and experience into strategies that drive policy and social change.
Because knowledge only matters when it leads to impact.

Mentorship gives collaboration direction.
Collaboration gives mentorship reach.
Together, they make change and impact possible.
The Uptake collaborative embodies this, turning evidence and experience into action through shared purpose, learning, and lasting impact.
Why partner with a collaborative for sustainable development?
No one has all the answers or all the skills. At Uptake, we connect individuals and institutions through mentorship, collaboration, and shared practice to help what works—work everywhere.

“Only one of 19 of the identified health professional associations fully covered the Code in ethics or standards documents for health professionals providing care to mothers and infants in Australia.”
31 Oct 2025
Do Aust'n health professionals receive guidance from their prof associations wrt their obligations under the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes? In 2021, the ACCC determined that they do, so we set out to find out for sure.
