"Today’s global food system has major weaknesses: nearly 800 million people are left hungry, one-third of the human race is malnourished, over half of some crops never make it to the table, and the planet is ravaged from environmentally unfriendly agricultural practices. As the global population is expected to soar exponentially in the coming years, we must examine ways to feed more people efficiently and sustainably, while combating climate change."

Community support for the protection and management of the Mutsamudu River Basin is absolutely critical for the success of the demonstration project and a key component of the project is the establishment of a catchment management committee, comprising stakeholders with key water responsibilities and interests.
A water management plan has been developed following comprehensive consultations with stakeholders.
Bolstering these interventions is an inclusive public awareness campaign that is engaging the people of Mutsamudu in an effort to keep the river clean.
This campaign has quickly gained momentum, with students from the university joining and the army joining local residents in river clean-ups, tree planting excursions, workshops and seminars.
Excitingly, the project’s strong outreach component has attracted the attention of the Comorian diaspora – Comorans living in France, Mayotte and the USA who are now contributing their energy and enthusiasm to the community’s efforts to better manage the Mutsamudu catchment, improve water quality and combat disease.

Villages of Voskepar and Voskevan in Tavush region on the Azerbaijani border where UNDP has a greenhouse project. Beneficiary family, elementary school, people living under threat of shooting due to conflict.
GOAL 1: NO POVERTY
While extreme poverty in the region has largely been eradicated, new threats brought on by climate change, conflict, and food insecurity mean even more work is needed to bring people out of poverty.
Through a UNDP-supported project promoting local development planning for resilient rural communities in Armenia, approximately 6,000 people from more than 50 communities benefitted from efforts to bolster climate resilience. The project made a direct impact on people’s lives and economic prosperity. A total of 131 people from 43 rural communities were trained on climate change risk management and risk mitigation activities, and 33 rural households directly benefitted from drip irrigation systems for 27 greenhouses in three communities.

Newport Beach, CA – January 27, 2023 — Global Bank President Ron Nechemia issued the following statement on the 78th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Today, we commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day by remembering the six million Jews and millions of other victims of Nazism who were persecuted and systematically murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.
Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators murdered over six million Jews. The Holocaust, also known as the “Shoah” in Hebrew, is the Hebrew word for “catastrophe,” which was Nazi Germany's "Germany’s “Final Solution” for annihilating all Jews within Nazi Germany’s grasp. Approximately two-thirds of Europe’s Jewish population had been murdered by the end of this heinous act.
The Holocaust was a disaster not only for the Jewish people in Europe but also for all those persecuted during the Nazi era and, indeed, for all humanity. As such, it contains lessons for all of humanity.
“Many people believed that the horrors of WWII — the camps, the cruelty, the exterminations, the Holocaust — could never happen again. And yet they have in Cambodia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, and most recently in Bucha, Ukraine. This decade has shown that man’s capacity for evil knows no bounds. Genocide — the annihilation of an entire people based on ethnic, national origin, racial, or religious group—in whole or in part — has also become a word of our time, a stark and haunting reminder of why our vigilance must be unwavering,” says Ron Nechemia the President of the Global Bank Group on the accession of International Holocaust Remembrance Day – January 27, 2023.
Over the past year, we have all witnessed themes ranging from violations of men’s and women’s rights to unspeakable atrocities, all of which amount to war crimes against Ukrainian civilians. We recognise, once again, that human rights are at the heart of every major challenge confronting humanity and that human rights are at the heart of every solution we devise.
My thoughts and prayers are with all families affected by this horrific Bucha Massacre, and other places in Ukraine and other conflict zones, especially those who have lost or are still missing loved ones, refugees and displaced people –– largely innocent victims caught up in political upheavals of historic proportions.
“While we can rebuild complex infrastructure spanning from nuclear energy to bullet trains, telecom towers and fiber optic cable to waste and water treatment facilities, schools and hospitals, and we can even land a man or woman on the moon, we cannot ever restore life, where life has been taken away,” says Ron Nechemia.
NEVER AGAIN
Whether in Bosnia, Rwanda, Xinjiang, Bucha, Kharkiv, or Mariupol, “Never Again” is a recurring theme.
On this annual commemorative day, the Global Bank Group urges all member states of the United Nations to remember the six million Jewish Holocaust victims and millions of other victims of Nazism and develop educational programmes to help prevent future genocides.
Global Bank Group will continue to raise these issues and call for change, to stand up for peace, security, and human dignity.
Our organisational purpose, and values, are in the Global Bank Charter. The central role of the Global Bank Group is embracing the Bank Group’s ideals and values enshrined in the Global Bank Charter; respect for fundamental human rights of men and women, social justice and human dignity, peace and security, the worth of the human person, self-determination of peoples, social progress and development, and leave no one behind.

GOAL 7: AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY
Ensuring universal access to affordable electricity by 2030 means investing in clean energy sources such as solar, wind, and thermal.
In Moldova, a UNDP-supported project promoted resilient water management practices with rural entrepreneurs to address increasing water shortages in agriculture. Agriculture is the key economic sector in Moldova, and is facing the risk of increasing water shortages.
In the Sîngerei district in Moldova’s north, a reconstructed reservoir uses snowmelt and rainfall to bolster surfacewater storage ponds, ensuring that crops can also be irrigated during heat waves and droughts. This secure water source benefits 3,500 residents in Tiplesti village and residents of neighbouring settlements – including Mr. Burcovschi and his peach and apricot groves.
