UNICEF, in a partnership with the Government of Japan and the UNDP, is constructing 165 schools for over 33,000 children, half of them girls, across Afghanistan! The schools are complete with adequate and indoor classroom space, safe and hygienic water access, and solar power for light. The inclusion of boundary walls provides a safe haven for education, an especially important factor for girls' attendance in particular.

The Crown Princess appointed goodwill ambassador for UNDP

At a ceremony in the Bernadotte Library at the Royal Palace on Oct. 17, the Crown Princess was appointed goodwill ambassador for UNDP.

Today, the Crown Princess was formally appointed goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme. During the ceremony, in the presence of Assistant Secretary-General Ulrika Modéer and Minister of State Johan Forssell, the Crown Princess signed a certificate showing the goodwill ambassadorship.

During the ceremony, the Crown Princess said:

I look forward to immersing myself in UNDP's work in preventing and long-term elucidation of many of the complex challenges we face today, challenges that affect people worldwide. Since its launch, the Global Goals have become an essential guideline for many actors. As you know, the Global Goals are interconnected, and we must see them as a system of all three dimensions of sustainable development - the social, environmental and economic.

Ulrika Modéer, Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations and representative of UNDP gave an update during the ceremony on how the implementation of the global goals is progressing.

Johan Forssell, Minister of Development and Foreign Trade, also spoke about the priorities and investments being made to reach the global goals.

Goodwill Ambassador for UNDP

As a goodwill ambassador, the Crown Princess will work to increase knowledge and commitment to the Global Goals and a sustainable future. The Crown Princess's appointment as a goodwill ambassador is on behalf of Achim Steiner, head of the UN's development program UNDP.

The UN's global sustainability goals

The Crown Princess's involvement in environmental and climate issues led to the Crown Princess acting in 2016-2019 as one of 17 ambassadors appointed by the then Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, in the work with the global goals for sustainable development. The Crown Princess is ambassador emerita for the global goals and continues to focus mainly on sustainability, ocean and fishing issues.

An article I wrote with a colleague got published

"Absent, Obscured, and Hidden: An interdisciplinary analysis of visual race, ethnicity, and gender in UNDP representations of inequality"

This study covers visual analyses of digital media to explore issues of inequality in development discourse. Using web-based articles presented by the United Nations Development Programme as our central object of research, we show the extent to which discourses on sustainable development represent ethnicity, gender, and race. This paper argues that representations can be interpreted as an integral part of systemic inequality. We demonstrate that the discursive formation reflects and encourages a specific approach to sustainable development, especially regarding inequality reduction. This approach is based on the four analytical categories: absence, arrangement, essentialization, and obscuration. This work encourages further interdisciplinary research and argues for a methodologically combined inequality analysis.
