Happy to sign a Strategic Collaboration Framework between UNHCR and UNICEF with @unicefchief. Together, we will increase our support to refugee children and their families, also by strengthening national systems in host countries— especially education and social protection.

Un grand merci à #UE pour l’appui aux réfugiés burundais se trouvant dans quatre pays de la région ainsi que les rapatriés au Burundi. Annonce faite par Ambassadeur Claude Bochu pendant la visite du HC, # Filippo Grandi au Burundi.
@EnoBrigitte@UEauBurundi , @UN_Burundi;
I am visiting Burundi and Tanzania where I met some refugees fleeing Eastern DRC. Their stories of murder and rape by armed men are revolting: innocent civilians including children left facing horrifying abuse while leaders consistently fail to resolve regional conflicts. Enough.
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! I’m so proud to celebrate women around the world who are breaking barriers in #STEM – including Betty, a member of the
@girlsalliance from Kenya who gives girls with disabilities access to #STEM education.
Watch her story:
#NobelPrize winners in physics:
217 men👨🔬👨🏿🔬👨🏽🔬
4 women👩🔬👩🏿🔬👩🏽🔬
#WomenInScience are still under-represented and often overlooked.
Let's smash gender barriers and give women the recognition they deserve.

We must pursue durable solutions for Burundian refugees, especially voluntary repatriation. In Burundi, I met some of the more than 200,000 who have returned since 2017. We will work with the government, host countries and partners to ensure that returns are safe and sustainable.
#UNHCR High Commissioner #FilippoGrandi who visited #Burundi this week called for more support from development stakeholders to #Burundian returnees for a sustainable repatriation and reintegration back home.
We thank the#UNHCR High Commissioner for #Refugees, #Filippo Grandi, for his visit to #Burundi. Burundian returnees and refugees should not be forgotten in the mist of global #humanitarian challenges.
🔴 La @icglr1 en partenariat avec @ReDSS_HoA, @UNHCR_Burundi et @UEauBurundi organise du 31 janvier au 1er février 2023 à @royalpalacebdi en @MairieBuja, une réunion d'apprentissage par les pairs sur les solutions durables globales pour les réfugiés dans la région des Grands Lacs
#Burundi : @UN_Burundi annonce la contribution financière du peuple japonais pour la réponse intégrée aux besoins humanitaires en 2023. Une contribution de 5,8 millions #USD qui sera directement gérée par le consortium de 3 agences (@UNHCR_Burundi ,@WhoBurundi et @WFP au #Bdi).
Millions of people have been affected by the deadly earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria -- including thousands of pregnant women.
@UNFPA is on the ground providing urgent healthcare for women and girls. https://t.co/BZc5CQeEV0
In Tanzania I discussed with President @SuluhuSamia how to step up support for the voluntary repatriation of Burundian refugees following my Burundi visit. Efforts to create conditions for sustainable returns are growing and need engagement by all, especially development actors.
