Excited to participate in today's @VOICEeu_ hybrid Resilience-Nexus-Working Group meeting with 30 participants from our members & a special external guest, the GB Ambassador & former Deputy DG of ECHO, @MKoehlerEU.
📢 Today at the @EP_Development, @GroenewaldMaria urges swift work as over 300 million people worldwide require humanitarian action.
