An honour to speak at the opening of the 59th session of the Commission on Population and Development. Population dynamics can be a powerful engine for inclusive growth, resilience and stability. When we invest in people, we do not just shape the future — we secure it. #CPD59

482,000. That is how many women were assisted in delivering babies safely in @UNFPA-supported facilities in 34 countries around the world in 2025. We are on the ground, ready to ensure women and girls do not bear the weight of conflicts and crises alone: unf.pa/ems

Too many people live their lives unregistered and unseen. CRVS — Civil Registration and Vital Statistics systems — can change that. At @UNFPA, we are clear: Investing in these systems today means a fairer, more inclusive tomorrow: unf.pa/crvs_coe

Longer lives aren't a 'time bomb'; they are a testament to how far we’ve come. When we secure rights and healthcare for older people, we protect the backbone of our society. See how @UNFPA is changing the narrative: unf.pa/ageing

A census doesn't just count people, it ensures that people are planned-for and can thrive. An honour to join H.E. Pres. Tshisekedi and key partners in #DRC on investing in a historic census. @UNFPA remains your steadfast ally. Together, let us ensure that every person counts.

In-depth exchange with key development partners in the #DRC. Supporting and investing in the census isn't just a technical exercise—it is the foundation for human capital, peace, and prosperity. This is the data we need to transform the lives of women and young people.
