The Alma Ata declaration was a critical milestone for the world. Quality, affordable #PrimaryHealthCare is essential to meet the majority of people’s health needs and build #Humancapital & #HealthForAll. It's my great pleasure to hand off the #Astana2018 relay to @MelindaGates

With 200 million African #youth entering the labor force in the next few years, private-sector investment will be key to create jobs. #G20 #CompactWithAfrica is a model for how gov’ts, private sector & int’l orgs can join forces to find win-win opportunities for development.

Understanding #China's journey is important for the rest of the world. We reflect on 4 decades of reforms, and especially on the progress that lifted so many people out of poverty. wrld.bg/rL8o30mspUS

#DoingBiz and #HumanCapital Index taught us that regardless how complex an area is, it can be measured. This promotes transparency & accountability. Congrats to 128 economies that undertook 314 reforms to improve their business environment—a record year! wrld.bg/zQ9I30mtmqY

Had a wonderful conversation @WorldBank President, Mr. @JimYongKim. I thank him for his kind words on India's historic rise in the 'Ease of Doing Business' rankings over the last four years, and his support towards India's reform trajectory. nm-4.com/6e26

With 1/2 world’s population still lacking health services, it’s crucial to coordinate better & mobilize more financing for #health in developing countries. This is the mandate of @theGFF. Its replenishment Nov. 6 in Oslo will expand its critical work. wrld.bg/fRcn30mt0J7

The world can learn a lot from Guizhou, one of the poorest provinces of #China---from the way they’ve embraced #bigdata to tailor subsidies for poverty alleviation, to how companies use digital platforms to revolutionize truck delivery and elderly care services.

I saw how Taobao villages empowered new online entrepreneurs, allowing their young families to come back home and take care of their relatives, while enabling farmers to get a better price for their products.

This paves the way to a new development path - I hope many will learn from Guizhou’s example.

5 million women & children are dying each year from preventable causes. We urgently need more & better-targeted financing for health. Replenishing @TheGFF on Nov. 6 will nearly double the number of countries it can help. #investinpeople #investinhealth linkedin.com/pulse/build-hu…

In 100 years since WWI ended, we've learned we must confront complex challenges together—from reconstructing war-torn areas to fighting #climatechange. Building #peaceandsecurity, giving hope to the poor, are investments in a better future. wrld.bg/55eT30mzIpr @leJDD
