International diplomacy. Governance. Resilience. From July 2012 to September 2022 - President of the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Delivering long-term solutions for people affected by conflict and disasters requires courageous leadership and intrapreneurship to engage in new types of partnerships. The latest report supported by the IKEA Foundation and developed by the Humanitarian and Resilience Investing Initiative with ODI, Leaders and Intrapreneurs: Driving Investment in Frontier Markets, highlights best practices from pioneering organisations and showcases key actions that took place behind the scenes before they were able to successfully engage in humanitarian and resilience investing. @International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) @European Commission @Directorate General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) @World Food Programme @WFP Innovation Accelerator @FMO – Entrepreneurial Development Bank @ODI @IKEA Foundation https://lnkd.in/eD6EDG3R
Africa Finance Corporation Nigeria failed to support SME companies in Gas value chain in Nigeria . EXIM Bank India provided Line of credit to Africa Finance Corporation or Bank of Industries Nigeria. They could not utilize to bring SME Gas companies and Indian manufacturers on board and Indian consultants for development of project . We only see excuses in every conference
Yesterday there was a video circulated on social media showing a Ukrainian prisoner of war shot after saying "Glory to Ukraine". For these words, Ukrainians were killed before and again and continue to be killed in the 21st century. There are many stories like this, and we’ve witnessed one of them just now. We demand an investigation into russia's war crimes. We have no right to allow terrorists and criminals to go unpunished.

While the Russian Federation is a member of the UN Security Council with the right of veto, albeit illegally. This means that the UN is effectively covering for the terrorist criminal. Why does the UN exist? Humanity must understand: "Humanity must get rid of Russia - so as not to die from evil poisoning"
Peter Maurer and Sara Pantuliano wisely highlight the need for greater engagement and organisational readiness in frontier markets between humanitarian and development organisations, donors, DFI's and private-sector investors. Without this co-operation achieving the much needed impact at scale will not happen.
Russians are killing Ukrainian POWs! You saw the video of the execution the defenseless and unarmed Ukrainian military by the Russians. We demand an investigation into Russia's war crimes! Do not allow the impunity of wax criminals!
⁉russia kills Ukrainians every day just because they are Ukrainians and love their country! We demand an investigation into Russia's war crimes⁉
Ofcourse another funding stream. The white paper does not elaborate what's in it for the investment firms and corporations. The humanitarian agencies want their projects implemented by expanding their funding base. Development agencies also find ways of adapting their funding model to intervene in protracted humanitarian situations. (Which by the way has its own contenders.) What's in it for the investment firms and corporations? Obviously the victims and beneficiaries in the frontier markets are not going to pay the largest dividends in this investments. They are already in the 70 percent extreme poor population located in the fragile contexts. Also the investments as said are investments and they are not based on philanthropic causes. So what's in it for the investors which is important to get from being located in the proximity to the victims?
