Ghana is a case in point with progressive policies promoting refugee inclusion in national services despite the already existing needs. International solidarity and support will be a great boost
"Let’s remember that most refugees –75% to be precise– are hosted by low- and middle-income countries, often already struggling to provide and care for their own citizens. This is why international support is so key and must be reinforced." - @FilippoGrandi opening #RefugeeForum

Refugee artisans were not left out at the recent #AFD2023 hosted in Accra. With training from Akooshi, a Ghanaian Social Enterprise, Cameroonian refugee Linda Enow Godness displays some beautiful coconut crafts at the @made51_unhcr stand. #withrefugees
Day two of the Africa Forum on Displacement has taken off, and we are looking forward to thrilling conversations that will help make a difference for the forcibly displaced.

🚨 This is not a criticism, merely an appendage of my tweet, from yesterday, about 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 journalists and media; and how they behave in the face of headline national issues.
🇬🇭 50 years from now, a young person may enter Ghana's news archives and look for front pages of 22nd September, 2023.
📰 This is what they'll see: that the nation's FOUR biggest selling and most widely distributed newspapers did not see it fit to give the most topical story banner headline coverage.
Anytime I research historical events for articles, I deal with this question constantly: was the news coverage of the papers I am reading a true reflection of how serious the issues were, back then -- or were they affected by framing?
If you are alive by 2083, don't forget what the biggest story in Ghana was on 22/09/2023.
❌️ It was not about President @NAkufoAddo speaking at the UN about reparations. It was not about a beef between Kennedy Agyapong and @MBawumia. It was not about Graphic digitalising its archives.
It was about #OccupyJulorBiHouse. 🇬🇭
🌍✨ On #WorldRefugeeDay, let's honor the resilience of refugees and recognize their contributions to their host communities. Together, let's create a world where refugees are always included. 🤝💙#HopeAwayFromHome
🌍✨#HappeningNow: @unhcrghana and @GHANA_GRB commemorates #WorldRefugeeDay at Blue Oasis Refugee Community Centre. Together, we celebrate their resilience, advocating for a world where refugees are always included. Let's stand in solidarity & build a more inclusive future.🤝💙
