Staggering new chart from the IMF. We all know that increasing energy costs hit low income households hardest, but in the UK that impact will be the second biggest in the world, and the differential with the best off will also be the biggest. What is the gov’t going to do?

[Sarah Palmer-Felgate @SPalmerFelgate]

Looking forward being back in Geneva for #HNPW, connecting with others working on AAP, inclusion, needs ass, and tech in humanitarian crises. DM me if you’re also around - be great to catch up or meet for the first time @LEP_HNPW

[Mark Cutts @MarkCutts]

Today marks 11 years since the war in #Syria started. 11 years of loss and unimaginable suffering. 11 years of violence and destruction which have caused the biggest displacement crisis of the 21st century.

Don’t forget #Syria

Great contribution by @Wesamqaid
Only 5% of funding to Yemen goes to @SDFYEMEN and 95% to @UNReliefChief. #Equity provides efficiency. There should be more localisation & funding to local actors like @SOULYemen as first local responders in 🇾🇪

A reminder of some of the strong reasons to send money to verified humanitarian orgs instead of donating 'stuff'. Please pass it on. (@hpg_odi article written in 2011, still valid.) #Ukraine #donations #humanitarian #solidarity https://t.co/7XytlyBBVf

Send cash not stuff 🙏

[Ground Truth Solutions @GroundTruthSol]

Expectations vs reality. #Cash recipients we spoke to in #Somalia say it is important to them that they are consulted on their needs, yet most say this is not happening. What can be done? Read our recommendations section in our report for more ➡️ https://t.co/cFSafB0w9r.

I turn 37 on Sunday

Here's 23 random things I wish I'd known back when I was 27 👇🏾

[Keetie Roelen @KeetieRoelen]

Honoured to speak with #UN Special Rapporteur on extreme #poverty and #humanrights @srpoverty
for @PovertyUnpacked.

👉 from 'biologisation' of poverty, #stigma, #socialprotection and #basicincome for young people.

Really fascinating! Listen here 👉

[SFD-Yemen @SFDYemen]

Closing week1 of payment cycle11, over 1.1 million SWF beneficiary households received #CashTransfers easily, thanks to the efforts of the #UnconditionalCashTransfers Program team for implementing awareness, facilitation & communication activities in 35,500 villages across #Yemen

Thoughtful piece @PollyWilkins

“Emplacing suggests opening up humanitarianism to different ontologies of life and what care for that life might look like, while allowing for a recognition that humanitarianism is already emplaced within a particular racialized colonial history.”

[Marco Segone @msegone]

We should shift from ‘humanitarian evaluations’ to integrated humanitarian & development evaluations ‘nexus’

Enhance the focus on real-time evaluations that support adaptive management

My reflections on #COVID19 & #evaluation at #ALNAP21
#Eval4Action

[Paula Gil Baizan @chicledeuva]

Remember it is called ‘accountabilty to affected populations’ not ‘confirm how much you loved the thing we gave you that you had no choice to reject’

[Ahmed Baider @ahmedbaider1]

Please watch our piece on Yemen’s mental health crisis and how the war has made it even worse. My colleagues @IsobelYeung @AGuettatfi @JManzano_Media and I traveled for three weeks for @VICENews reporting on the humanitarian crisis.

[Pete Greig @PeteGreig]

For all of you in the UK this is important. Our government is reneging on one of its most important commitments & ppl will die as a result. Theres no either/or between justice at home & abroad⁩ ⁦@BorisJohnson⁩ ⁦@RishiSunak⁩ ⁦@Tearfund⁩ https://t.co/Wb8mlOE98u

[Wesam Qaid @Wesamqaid]

I am looking forward to speaking at this event on how @SFDYemen with @UNESCO_GCCYemen are expanding #Yemen's social protection & livelihoods approaches into the cultural heritage sector.

[Vineyard Churches @VCUKI]

In this article our Coaching Team explore how to have powerful conversations with friends as we emerge from lockdown, drawing out how people are truly feeling rather than asking 'how are you?' and getting the stock answer 'I'm fine thanks'.
