So saddened to hear about the untimely death of @danielgraymore - a brilliant human, funny, strong values. Committed to making the world a better place. Patient, tolerant and caring. It was an honour and a joy to work with him over the years @FCDOGovUK. He will be much missed

It would be a great opportunity to leverage and scale up the digital cash delivery system established under the @Mglsd_UG #SAGE programme so people can buy food and other stuff. Food distribution logistics is a complicated operation in such a lockdown.
