“@WBG_IDA is hugely important...as one of the largest sources of finance for some of the countries that are most in need”

In a new report, the International Rescue Committee @RESCUEorg calls the #IDA21 replenishment "more than just a chance to mobilize funds—it’s a critical opportunity to reshape how development finance works for the communities that need it most."

Yesterday we visited Parliament to welcome new and returning MPs and Peers, and discuss our work supporting people affected by conflict and crisis.

We look forward to working everyone who attended. 🧵⬇️

[Laura Kyrke-Smith MP @laurakyrkesmith]

Yesterday I shared @RESCUEorg @RESCUE_UK data on the 16 most climate-vulnerable and conflict-affected countries in the world, like Sudan, Syria & Myanmar.

I was pleased to hear Development Minister @AnnelieseDodds' commitment to climate finance for adaptation in these places.

Transforming Fragility to Stability. The 21st replenishment of @WorldBank's IDA should better serve conflict-affected communities. Reforms, increased financing, and innovative partnerships are key to #EndPoverty

Huge congratulations to Masoma and Halyna on helping to expand employment support for Ukrainians in Lewisham to include refugees from Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq!

Since meeting on last year's IRC Leadership Programme, they've used the skills they learned to help other refugees.

"There are 16 countries that are suffering from conflict and are also in the highest rank of climate vulnerability."

@DMiliband told @CNN how countries producing just 2% of carbon emissions face 40% of climate disasters & 60% of global humanitarian need:

NEW: Ahead of Monday’s UK food security summit #GFSS23, @DMiliband and @katehamptongray call for solutions scale-up, more cash, a global plan and climate action 👇

Good to see this recognition of the importance of refugees’ access to work and services. Greater refugee inclusion relies on a ‘people-first’ approach and more World Bank partnerships with civil society, refugee and women-led organizations.

[World Bank Data @worldbankdata]

Refugee situations are not just short-term crises; they last. Letting refugees work & access services helps them do better, and reduces the medium-term costs to host countries.

Parliament should reconsider the Government’s new refugee Bill during its next stages, and uphold the fundamental right to asylum.

Statement from @laurakyrkesmith @RESCUE_UK after last night’s Committee stage👇

[Mark Nowottny @MarkNowottny]

As @RESCUE_UK's @djayasinghe said recently:

“Home Office support in the UK for those fleeing conflict and persecution is essential, but should come primarily from outside ODA - not at the expense of those living through crises overseas.”

[International Rescue Committee - EU @RESCUE_EU]

With humanitarian needs reaching unprecedented levels, the opportunity for the international community, the EU and its member states to come together to shape humanitarian action has never been more important.

IRC will be there at #EHF2023.

[David Miliband @DMiliband]

This 100m figure is - I would guess - a ref to the UN’s calculation that 100m are fleeing conflict and disaster. But most do not cross a border. 55 million are “internally displaced” - eg Syrians who fled from Aleppo to Idlib. The idea they are all coming to UK is absurd.
