WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN
Some hugely important, robust and frank discussions on health happened today in #Beijing. #FOCAC2018 preparation happening in earnest. Well done @UNAIDS for their vision in making this happen. And @gatesfoundation for their support.

Great write up of one of the most interesting panels I've chaired - well done @INBARofficial for bringing together a diverse set of voices including #African #female entrepreneurs. Crucial to listen to and respond to their real needs.

What does the future hold for #BRICS cooperation with poorer countries? Enjoyed sharing data, ideas and new #development challenges with economists, lawyers and other students today at #Shanghai's #Fudan university - helping uncover what it means to be a development practitioner
3Strong politics and new "within-BRICS" initiatives, but not much substantively for #southsouth cooperation or #publicgoods - useful assessment of the #BRICS summit from a #development perspective
