@WorldBank is providing $467 million to support girls’ education and women’s empowerment by providing cash transfers and livelihoods support.
This extra income will help poor and vulnerable Zambian households better manage shocks. #HumanCapital #Resilience

Inspiring to meet beneficiaries of #Zambia’s GEWEL project, which increases access to secondary education among disadvantaged girls & expands access to livelihood support for women.
#SocialProtection programs like this help reduce poverty and improve #HumanCapital.

UNICEF & WB track impacts of current crises on the lives of the world's poorest and must-vulnerable people. Predictably, those data show devastating impacts. They reinforce the need to build effective social protection systems to build resilience globally.

So proud to be part of the Thamarat team that provides social protection cash transfers to support Sudan's population while the country works through a necessary, difficult economic transition.

This AM, I visited a registration center for Thamarat—the Sudan Family Support Program.
It’s encouraging that cash has been transferred to over 1 million Sudanese families. I welcomed the chance to meet beneficiaries of the program, which we are working to rapidly expand.

How sad is it that government employees have to create rogue Twitter accounts just to communicate FACTS to the American public?
