Ebola is a serious disease, and one way it can spread is through contact with infected wild animals and the consumption of improperly handled wild meat (“bushmeat”). Staying informed and practicing safe food choices can help reduce the risk.

If you experience symptoms such as fever, weakness, vomiting, or diarrhea after possible exposure, seek medical care promptly. Early detection and treatment improve outcomes. Stay informed, stay safe, and remember: help is available

You have chosen to offer your labour, talent, and competence to a demanding policy and systems-strengthening organisation. You work in a dynamic ecosystem that demands innovation, resilience, and great sacrifice, yet you show up every day with diligence and heart.
Thank you for trusting me as your leader to navigate the turbulence. And thank you for playing your part, no matter how small or big, with unwavering commitment to our great vision of a WorldFreeFromHungerandMalnutrition.
Your labour is the engine that drives this fight.
But our labour does not stop here.
Until no one goes to bed hungry.
Until no child is malnourished.
Until our systems create an enabling environment for everyone to feed themselves adequately, we shall labour.
Happy Labour Day, team. I see you. I celebrate you.
