This invited blog entry was posted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Monday, August 22nd as a result of my participation as a WIEGO resource person for Asia-Pacific Social Protection Week earlier the same month. The full text is available here. Salamat Po for the warm welcome back to Manila after many years away! (Photo above of beedie rolling courtesy of Marlese von Broembsen)
Thanks to Professor Malinda Smith of the University of Alberta for inviting me to contribute to the AlbertaPoliBlog. I’m happy the entry came out last week inspired by my recent trip to India for WIEGO. And thanks to the Honourable Jocelynne Annette Scutt for her “concrete canopy” metaphor, which I have referenced.

I’m delighted to have been invited to speak at the Commonwealth People’s Forum in Malta taking place from November 23-26. This civil society gathering – organized by the Commonwealth Foundation – is a precursor to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) taking place from November 27-29th. I will be chairing an exciting panel on food challenges as well as speaking at a plenary session on the theme of: Equity and Resilience: Access to critical resources and services for all. I look forward to meeting and interacting with approximately 300 delegates from across the Commonwealth’s 53 member states.
As I was invited to contribute a blog entry in advance of the forum, here is the link below to my remarks:
