It is heartening to see that donors, partners, governments, communities, and everyone in the house are working together to be more efficient and remain effective in ensuring protection and delivery of services in UNHCR. All hands on deck.

[Ignazio Cassis @ignaziocassis]

I also met with @BarhamSalih for our first exchange since he took office at @Refugees.

As #UNHCR faces severe financial pressure, protecting refugees requires reform, coordination and clear strategic direction.

The refugee cluster is a clear priority for #Switzerland’s multilateral engagement.

From International Geneva, 🇨🇭 reaffirms its commitment to a strong and principled protection system, and UNHCR can count on our continued support.

Years back, I had the honour to work in this region. The needs then, before that and now - immense. These two situations of returns and new displacement from DRC are compounding the situation further. Urgent help is needed to start a better future.

[Mamadou Dian Balde @mamadou_dbalde]

Burundi is hosting thousands fleeing DRC, while also welcoming more of its own nationals from across the region.
But conditions in departure & reception are extremely challenging.
Support to refugees & returnees, & respecting refugee choices are essential. https://t.co/Pljrfcafwe

A powerful poem, speaking the truth about the crisis in Sudan.

[UNHCR United States @UNHCRUSA]

"My country falls to pieces and my people go missing one by one."

Who decides who lives or dies in Sudan?

Stop what you're doing and watch this stunning new poem from World Champion Poet and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador @EmiThePoet.

UNHCR won ‘Best Impact Project’ through the use of blockchain technology in its cash based assistance to refugees.

[Kelly T. Clements @KellyTClements]

Proud moment. UNHCR’s innovative pilot project using blockchain technology to disburse cash assistance for people displaced by the war in Ukraine just won ‘Best Impact Project’ at #PBW2023.

Potential is huge.
