Afghan products in Saudi Arabia!
With @EUinAfghanistan funding, five Afghan businesses showcased dried fruits, nuts, spices and fruit concentrates at #SaudiFoodShow2026 through the ACRP project, connecting Afghan products with international markets.

"Sagar" - a curious term that stretches from high mountains to the seas; from wisdom and warriers!
A fitting lead-in term for the conversation we had in a #UNGA81 event hosted by Nepal, with mountain and coastal nations calling to partner to secure the future.
A short clip here from my remarks at this High-Level Special Event “Sagarmatha to the Sea..." - advocating w these countries for access to the new tech; applying it to policy and engineering design; and coming through w the financing to deliver development differently.

Resilient Sutan is showing what moving beyond crisis looks like in practice.
Safer shelter. Restored water. Reliable energy. Flood protection. Support for livelihoods.
This is how @UNDP is helping communities rebuild stronger and regain stability.

I'm not Rashid Khan quite yet, but apparently, I held my own!
Loved having the chance to play cricket with local young people in Nangarhar.
Across countries and cultures, joy is universal.

Good evening from Afghanistan.
Here, crises rarely arrive one at a time. 3 in 4 people cannot meet their basic needs.
Emergency aid saves lives.
Development gives people their futures back.
I am here to see first-hand how @UNDP can help communities move beyond crisis.
Doel Mukerjee retweeted
We are living through a dangerous contradiction:
Unprecedented wealth.
Unprecedented innovation.
Yet unprecedented instability.
In this redefining moment, we need dialogue. We need investment. And we need action.

Women and girls empowerment is at the core of EU basic needs assistance to the Afghan people. With UNDP, ACTED and ACF, the EU builds skills, competencies, and provides economic opportunities in Badakhshan.

Afghanistan faces one of the world’s biggest displacement crises. Amid poverty, drought & earthquakes, UNDP is supporting displaced and host communities to rebuild together and move from return to real recovery.

At the launch of the Solutions and Protection through Legal Identity Joint Programme, @UNDPaf highlighted that returnees need pathways to economic inclusion, self-reliance and sustainable reintegration.
Legal identity is a critical first step to rebuild lives with dignity.

1.5 million documents.
Four UN agencies.
One solution.
Ahead of World Refugee Day, UNHCR, UNICEF, UNDP and FAO launched a joint 3-year initiative, appealing for support to enable returning Afghans to access IDs and birth certificates.
A document in hand. A future within reach.
Doel Mukerjee retweeted
What does @UNDPasiapac do across such diverse contexts?
We are where it matters most: supporting communities and countries to build capabilities, recover fast when disasters strike, adapt to shocks, and move human development forward.
Progress is never a straight line, and we must listen, adjust, and partner to support those who need us most.
@alexanderdecroo interacts here with @samuelrizk @Ayshaniee @Norimasa_UN @sarodriques @SaraFOlivella to ask these @UNDP reps what results they are most proud of...

A dialogue on Afghanistan’s environment and climate pressures under the ACCESS initiative.
Partners are sharing findings from the State of Environment Assessment 2025 and discussing coordination, climate finance, and collective action.
Doel Mukerjee retweeted
@UNDPaf’s annual socioeconomic review is just out!
Mounting pressures on most families, as local economies shrink in some parts of the country, while overall GDP grows, large scale returns add pressures on poor households, climate shocks and shrinking aid stretch fragile systems.
Jobs with access to business finance, extended basic services, many more opportunities for women - these are essential to sustain basic progress and stability.
