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).

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.
