We've been thinking a lot about community-led projects over here recently.

"Some however have criticised the town's administration for spending so much money on the giant cephalopod, especially as the pandemic is not yet over."

Sadly trending. This isn't about protection or safety. If you are threatened by the state itself, and 'area' being 'safe' does not make a difference.

Enlightening twin talks by Mario Bianco (2019 Hydro MSc @birminghamalum) @ICRC and Ruta Nimkar @Meraki_Labs on humanitarian aid side of groundwater work using the 2011 Famine in East Africa as an example.

How humanitarian and cash can work together better and increase impact is a hot topic (and a @newhumanitarian trend to watch for 2021). Don't miss these great studies, turning the theory into clear recommendations to country teams. It was a pleasure working with @Meraki_Labs

There is such a strong body of research on #migrant #smuggling & journeys by sea @YvetteCooperMP @BBCr4today - please don’t give airtime to simplistic language about migrants being “sucked into the arms of smugglers and dangerous gangs”. We know this isn’t what happens. #r4today

Not always top of mind when thinking about humanitarian response in Yemen, but irregular migration through Yemen to RSA continues despite conflict #migration #Yemen #HOA #Ethiopia #Easternroute https://t.co/XZ5gGOhLbS
