सवाल ये है — सिर्फ गुजरात को ही क्यों? यूपी के इनलैंड वॉटरवेज (गंगा, यमुना), कन्नौज, वाराणसी, इलाहाबाद जैसे इलाकों में भी ऐसी सुविधाएँ और रोजगार क्यों नहीं? Blue economy का फायदा पूरे देश को मिले, सिर्फ गुजरात को नहीं! #EquitableDevelopment #SPWithUP

Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, Ahsan Iqbal, called for a comprehensive and forward-looking reform of the National Finance Commission (NFC) Award while addressing the concluding session of the Pakistan Governance Forum 2026. The landmark Forum, organised by the Ministry of Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, brought together the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, federal and provincial ministers, parliamentarians, international development partners, academics, and policy experts in an unprecedented national dialogue on fiscal federalism. “We opened the debate, we listened to the provinces, and we brought every stakeholder to the table,” the Minister stated, describing the Forum as a turning point in strengthening cooperative federalism. Minister Iqbal clarified that the constitutional vertical distribution of resources between the federation and provinces remains fully protected and is not under review. “The vertical distribution is constitutionally safeguarded because it protects provincial autonomy,” he stated. “Our discussion concerns the horizontal distribution — how resources are allocated across federal government in a fair manner.” Highlighting structural fiscal challenges, the Minister noted that from approximately Rs. 14 trillion in federal tax revenue and Rs. 5 trillion in non-tax revenue, around Rs. 8.2 trillion is transferred to provinces under the NFC Award. #AhsanIqbal #NFC #NationalFinanceCommission #PakistanEconomy #EconomicReforms #PerformanceBased #EquitableDevelopment #InstitutionalReforms #Pakistan #FiscalPolicy #Governance

Every word on this board represents the struggles and aspirations of millions of Kenyans. Food justice is about putting people first—acknowledging past inequities, understanding present challenges, and creating systems that allow everyone to thrive. Ultimately, this work is part of Kenya’s broader journey toward equitable development, a journey where dignity, opportunity, and the right to a decent life are realities for all, not just a few. #FoodJustice #RightToFood #EquitableDevelopment #Kenya #PeopleFirst #SocialImpact #SustainableDevelopment #CommunityEmpowerment

@KenyaGovernors, Particularly the Governors of Mt. Kenya region, Isiolo, and Lamu counties: Your counties possess immense potential, yet major infrastructure developments appear skewed toward other regions. While the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) extension from Naivasha to Kisumu and Malaba is set to commence in January 2026, similar flagship projects for your areas remain delayed or under-prioritized. There are no comparable mega roads, parks, hospitals, or direct investments transforming your backyard towns. What has become of the Vision 2030 commitments under the LAPSSET Corridor? This transformative project was designed to connect Lamu Port to Isiolo, eastern Mt. Kenya, and onward to Moyale, Ethiopia—complete with highways, a railway branch, an international airport at Isiolo, and resort cities. Progress on roads like Lamu-Garissa-Isiolo and Isiolo-Modogashe is ongoing but slow, and the full vision—including SGR to Moyale via your regions—deserves urgent revival. If national prioritization lags, why not unite as governors? Pool resources through inter-county collaborations or public-private partnerships (PPPs) to deliver game-changing projects: upgrade Isiolo International Airport to full operational status, establish modern factories, or advance regional transport links. Stop waiting solely on the national government—take proactive steps to lobby aggressively and co-finance initiatives that will unlock economic growth, tourism, and trade for your people. Your collective voice and action can redirect the course of development toward equity and prosperity. Have shares opportunities for youths in your respective counties for each project. See these counties grow. #EquitableDevelopment #Vision2030 #LAPSSET #MtKenya #Isiolo #Lamu

@icelisglobal Founder & CEO, @athwal_i expertly moderated the high-level panel, ‘From Extraction to Transformation: Unlocking Local Value Chains in Mining and Energy’ at the Qatar Africa Business Forum (@qabf2023). As an energy governance expert active across the GCC, Africa, and international networks, @athwal_i led a strategic discussion on how Africa’s mining sector can unlock new investment by shifting from #extraction to value-added, #sustainableindustrialization. Her expertise in energy law and sustainable development provided a solid foundation for the conversation, grounding it in global trends and regional realities. The panel explored strengthening local content, competitive mineral value chains, and emerging opportunities in green hydrogen, renewables integration, responsible mineral processing, and ESG-aligned mining. Elena engaged two exceptional panelists: - Professor @dsolawuyi, SAN, FCIArb, A global authority on energy law, environmental governance, and arbitration, Professor @dsolawuyi SAN, FCIArb advises governments and industry across Africa and the GCC. As the @UNESCOChairHBKU (Qatar), he provided unique insights into regulatory systems balancing investment, #sustainability, and #equitabledevelopment. - Mr. Japie Fullard CEO of Glencore Alloys (South Africa), Mr. Fullard brings over 30 years of mining expertise and leadership in Africa’s ferrochrome and coal industries. His practical insights into industrial competitiveness and workforce transformation highlighted the realities of building resilient mineral value chains on the continent. @icelisglobal applauds both for their deep expertise and commitment to responsible and #sustainablemining practices. This discussion reinforces Icelis Global’s mission to bridge GCC–Africa collaboration, strengthen responsible investment, and support sustainable development in mining, energy, and critical minerals. It aligns with ongoing work with @UNEP, @ILA_official, @IBAnews, @ICC_Qatar, and regional partners promoting equitable, ESG-aligned, future-oriented #energytransitions. We look forward to continuing contributions to platforms that drive win-win cooperation across Africa and the GCC. #QABF #ICELISGlobal #Africa #Qatar #SouthAfrica #ESG #mining #energy #investmentopportunities #sustainabledevelopment #valuechains #energytransition #criticalminerals #law #governance #GCCAfricaPartnerships

On Day 2 of the PLAAS conference, @rachelgyabaah chaired the session “Women’s Land Rights” Setting the tone for the discussion, she emphasized that while most African countries have taken important legislative steps to secure women’s access to land, the gap between laws on paper and rights in practice remains wide. The session brought together leading voices in gender and land reform, including @nanaama Yirrah of @COLANDEF (Ghana) shared how community-driven strategies and institutional reforms are helping to strengthen women’s tenure security at the grassroots and the national level. From the Food and Agriculture Organization (@FAO), @Vanya  presented a cross-country assessment revealing persistent gender gaps in land ownership and control despite policy advances. @AyandaMadlala13  of @PLAAS (South Africa) offered an evocative account from Northern KwaZulu-Natal, highlighting how rural women continue to navigate patriarchal structures to protect their livelihoods and dignity. The conversation highlighted a common truth: gender justice in land governance is inseparable from broader struggles for equity and accountability. Participants called for legal reforms, shifts in power relations, community norms, and institutional culture to make women’s land rights a living reality across the continent. Rachel also joined the session on “Struggles Against Chiefs and Mining Companies Appropriating Land in South Africa”as a discussant. Her contribution linked the South African experiences of resistance and land defense to broader continental efforts for inclusive governance and community-led accountability. Through these engagements, TrustAfrica continues to amplify women’s voices, champion people-centered land reform, and foster solidarity across movements working for land justice in Africa. #LandJustice #WomenAndLand #TrustAfrica #PLAASConference #EquitableDevelopment #AfricaLandRights #Responsiblemning
