It was an honour to facilitate this process w/
@JIPS_profiling @IIED @UNHABITAT to highlight the voice of local authorities as first responders, and the role that cities play in providing not only a refuge, but a dignified solution to displacement. Report to be launched today!

Today is my last day as the SG's Special Adviser for Solutions to Internal Displacement! Working on our 'lessons-learnt' in the closing hours of the day/year & reflecting on a 2.5 year journey. So much more to do but I think/hope we are all better equipped now - Gov's & UN alike.
