There is a story I have been meaning to tell for a while. During the Afghan evacuation operation, a girl arrived at Al Dhafra airbase, exhausted, with an unusual possession: a bird. She had fought all the way at Kabul airport, to bring the treasured little thing with her.

New blog by @stef_barratt, @nickjross88 on the #MigrationDataPortal out now.
Remittances from Afghans are critical for families and the wider economy. Along with so much else in #Afghanistan, there is now uncertainty around this vital flow of finance. https://t.co/SGqeVeEgNg
Le statut « prima facie », qui permet aux réfugiés de bénéficier d’une protection internationale avant un examen individuel, doit être accordé de manière collective sans attente pour tous les Afghans menacés de mort, expliquent les chercheurs Nassim Majidi et Hervé Nicolle
All that is happening when someone says they have been "lied to" about #Afghanistan is they are admitting they didn't care about the country until last week. SIGAR has been running this entire time. Anyone concerned to find out the state of reality could have done so.
There is critical momentum w/ @IDPs_Panel to prompt 💡 different thinking on the issue of #InternalDisplacement, towards more integrated approaches w/ enhanced engagement of key stakeholders, incl. govt, dev actors, early & long-term inclusion of IDPs in development programming
Looking forward to our learning event with the @RefugeeSRI tomorrow to discuss whether cash assistance has a negative impact on self-reliance. Spoiler alert : it's complicated! @Samuel_Hall_
"What gets counted counts. Narratives can take hold that are based not on what’s happening but on what’s being recorded. The simplest and easiest to find data doesn't necessarily represent what is going on." @jburnmurdoch on intellectual honesty in #dataviz@ODI_Global@VADundee
@Samuel_Hall_ and @SussexUni just published this research study, on how mentoring with #returnees, that is, 1-on-1 support to them, ensures better reintegration. An essential piece in monitoring & advocating for better reintegration programming and policies.
