TRIP NOTE
The Secretary-General was in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to take part in the annual meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In remarks he delivered at the International Monetary and Financial Committee, the Secretary-General stressed the importance of fiscal policy and financing to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on climate change.
At the Small States Forum, the Secretary-General noted that the survival of many small countries, and particularly island states, depends on finding innovative and effective solutions to challenges that threaten their very existence. 
He also spoke at a meeting of the Finance Ministers Coalition on Climate Finance and he told its 44 members that, as Finance Ministers, they can turn the tide and move the markets to address the climate emergency.

The Deputy Secretary-General is in Ethiopia, on the first day of a joint UN/African Union solidarity mission on women, peace and security in the Horn of Africa.
Speaking to the African Union Peace and Security Council, Ms. Mohammed called on the countries of the Horn of Africa to create space so that women can lead the change.
She added that the region must be encouraged to invest in and benefit from the contributions of more than half its population if we want to see durable progress.
Earlier in the day, the Deputy Secretary-General also took part in the launch of the Ethiopian Chapter of the African Women Leaders Network. She also spoke at an event linked to the Blue Heart Campaign, an initiative by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime to fight human trafficking and its impact on society.
