With sincere appreciation to @EUCdAtoAFG and @EUinAfghanistan for their support to the field mission.

[Edvin Skrt @EdvinSkrt]

In Afghanistan, humanitarian operations continue under complex conditions. Meetings with UN agencies and partners reaffirmed the importance of coordinated delivery of health, protection, and basic services. Field teams remain deeply committed despite constraints. 🙏

Reflections from the OECD Future of Development Co-operation conference in Paris:
Mutual interests are key, locally led development is essential, and ODA remains important but with an evolving role within a broader financing mix.
Important questions for all of us moving forward.
