It’s time to change the story. Children are most vulnerable to malaria, yet their voices go unheard. This #WorldMalariaDay, we call on leaders to back the @GlobalFund & @gavi and invest in their future. 🎥 Watch the film to see what’s at stake

The theme of #CommonwealthDay2025 is ‘together we thrive’.
For @commonwealthsec's 56 nations - including 33 Commonwealth Small States (CSS), 25 Small Island Developing States (SIDS), and 12 Least Developed Countries (LDCs) – to thrive #resilience is essential.
To enhance climate and disaster #resilientinfrastructure across the Commonwealth, @cdri_world is supporting:
👉 41 #CDRIFellowship projects creating actionable and innovative solutions.
👉 17 #IRIS projects enhancing critical infrastructure resilience in CSS / SIDS.
👉 Integrating disaster resilience in Commonwealth discussions.
👉 Partnering with The Commonwealth Secretariat on their new Disaster Resilience Hub.
CDRI was proud to support #CHOGM2024 in Samoa and is committed to supporting #CHOGM2026 in Antigua and Barbuda. Both 🇼🇸 and 🇦🇬 are members of the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure.
We are also looking forward to engaging in the upcoming @WiltonPark convening on Advancing sustainable urbanisation: working with Commonwealth countries to build a transformative coalition, being organized by the @FCDOGovUK, and the Commonwealth Sustainable Cities initiative (@The_ACU, @Comarchitect, @CAPplanners, @CommEngCouncil, @CLGF_News, @KingsFdn).
Greetings to all engineers in the Commonwealth and around the World on Commonwealth Day 2025. Let's use our voice, our expertise, and our shared values to create positive change towards peace and a sustainable future. @wfeo #CommonwealthDay

In line with the Global Engineering Conference 2024 theme, “Engineering Innovation for a Sustainable Future” we proudly introduce @B2P as #GECO2024 chosen charity.
Their mission of connecting isolated communities through the construction of footbridges is a powerful example of how infrastructure can foster opportunity and drive sustainable development.
Join us at #GECO2024 from 15 to 18 October to explore more about innovative solutions and how we can collectively build a sustainable future.
