Education, training & support for #GlobalDev and #Humanitarian professionals.

[Jan Egeland @NRC_Egeland]

A horrific figure: 45 million people are now internally displaced by conflict & violence. Politicians, generals & diplomats must rise seek ceasefires, not guns & grenades. Political violence is utterly senseless in this coronavirus era.

A few years ago, when I decided to leave the academia to support #humanitarian actions with #DataScience, this would have been exactly the opportunity I was looking for.

Now this opportunity can be yours, and you only have 48h left to apply!

These are unprecedented times & for the global south, the economic stakes couldn't be higher. Reflecting on #WBGMeetings, @ma_jose_romero calls for bolder action from @worldbank & @IMFnews that ties emergency responses to longer-term actions ➡️ https://t.co/n6XfplOUg2 #Covid19

Appetite for #change vs actual change. We need to track and measure. #covid19 #humanbehavior #behaviorchange

What are the key contexts likely to see a significant deterioration in #humanitarianneeds over the next six months? Check them out in @ACAPSproject Global Risk Analysis here: https://t.co/HeicPaiMiP

The pandemic is often described as an "unimaginable" catastrophe. What the crisis reveals, though, is not the unreality of our present moment, but the illusions it shatters, @charles_yu writes. https://t.co/agT0STR1gC

[The Lowy Institute @LowyInstitute]

"But globalisation should be able to survive self-isolation by a single country, even the largest. The rest of the world — and notably China — shows no sign of this inwardness."

The Danger of COVID-19 for Refugees, I'm so grateful for everyone who is supporting @RESCUEorg during these challenging times. https://t.co/mIMccALRtH via @NewYorker

[Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ]

Was on @Channel4News just now on lamentable decision of USA President to defund @WHO in middle of worst pandemic in over a century. WHO's role in global health leadership is never more critical than at a time like this. It needs support, not brickbats. @globalhlthtwit @DrTedros

If oil goes any lower, Exxon Mobil might have to layoff some members of Congress.

Reshaping of global production networks is happening. This article says that even Chinese companies are diversifying production out of China to South-East Asia to increase the resilience of their supply chains https://t.co/usGDVxmj4K
