Great discussions at the @WorldBankGroup #FragilityForum.
I joined @DMiliband and @bjerde_anna to discuss the impact of stronger partnerships in times of crisis. With our local partners, we reach people further and faster, and ensure our support lasts longer than our presence.

The school meals programme has grown across the country, supporting learning where it’s needed most. 🍛
For many children, a meal at school means the chance to focus, learn, and thrive.
That is why @WFP is partnering with the government to support school meals this term in Wajir and Marsabit counties. 📚✍️

📍 #DRC: On the frontlines of the Ebola response, cooks like Mama Arlette are preparing essential meals for patients, people in isolation, healthcare workers and caregivers — with support from WFP and @USForeignAssist.
“Good food is also medicine,” she says.
📣 As the outbreak spreads, these meals help ensure people don’t have to choose between protecting themselves and finding food.
