⚡Launched by @antonioguterres during #UNGA81, the Global Grids Accelerator will help developing countries strengthen energy security and turn their energy ambitions into clean, reliable power for millions of people.
@UNOPS_Chief explains 👇
Across the globe, there's no shortage of electricity grid ambitions – with strategies in place, targets set, and projects identified.
But the real challenge? Getting those plans financed, procured and built.
That’s where the Global Grids Accelerator comes in: it brings together the expertise needed to help developing countries strengthen energy security and power growth.
For @UNOPS, it's about providing practical support to turn regional grid priorities into bankable and implementable projects.
Building on the policy, regulatory and financing roles of other UN agencies, with support for project preparation and implementation.
Together, we can turn energy ambitions into clean, reliable power for millions of people.

"In #Mozambique, expanding off-grid energy is an investment in health, food security and community development."
@UNOPS_Chief on supporting Mozambique's energy transition – powering the infrastructure that sustainable development depends on 👇
#UNGA81 #SDG7⚡
#Mozambique is on an ambitious path to deliver millions of off-grid energy connections, and connect people across the country with the electricity they need to thrive.
This national vision for electrification is crucial to accelerating sustainable development – supporting health, education, food security and community development.
It was great to join President Daniel Chapo at #UNGA81 earlier this week, along with @SEforALLorg and partners, to discuss the need for strong investment in the clean energy transition to translate ambition into delivery.

"It's really important to bring solutions even in the middle of conflicts."
At #UNGA81, @UNOPS_Chief spoke with @trtworld’s @frankucciardo on how UNOPS delivers in conflict-affected areas – from Gaza to Yemen to Ukraine – & why we need to deliver in the Strait of Hormuz through a UN mechanism to move goods & fertilizers.

What could be hiding in a pile of rubble?
Hazardous waste, asbestos & unexploded ordnance can endanger communities & complicate efforts to recycle debris.
So, how do we turn post-conflict rubble into a resource?
Join our webinar to explore practical tools & approaches for managing these hazards safely.

Good to meet @UNOPS_Chief at #UNGA81.
We discussed how 🇪🇺 and 🇺🇳 can strengthen our joint work on some of the Mediterranean region’s most pressing challenges.
Together with @nmladenov, we also exchanged on our common efforts for Gaza. Humanitarian assistance and early recovery must advance in parallel. Our work with the @UN and @WorldBank on the Rapid Damage and Needs Assessment provides a common basis to move from assessing needs to supporting recovery.
We also exchanged on the Strait of Hormuz and the importance of safeguarding freedom of navigation and critical maritime routes.

Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are driving a global energy, fertilizer and food crisis that risks pushing millions more people into hunger.
We must urgently find a way to avoid a humanitarian disaster.
In the context of the UN Task Force for the Strait of Hormuz, we have developed a practical solution that’s ready to go. It has overwhelming support – particularly from the most vulnerable countries.
So let’s get essential supplies moving and protect the people who depend on them.
