In Dalmettia, Egypt today, observing UN-supported initiatives focused on youth engagement, climate action and nature based solutions, refugee support, and women’s empowerment. Diverse programs addressing local and global challenges. @WFP@UNDP@UNFPA@UNICEF@UN_Women
I was impressed at how @WFP@UNICEF and @UNFPA are all drawing on the same platform to provide one stop support for refugees leveraging #WFPs cash-based program supported by @CanadaDev
Empathy, action and attention to assurance all on display. Well done.
