An appeal to European leaders from a lifetime humanitarian: as you discuss boosting defense spending please don’t overlook humanitarian aid, which faces devastating cuts.
Aid, too, is about keeping your countries safe. Aid promotes stability. And a stable world is a safer world.

@TeybaHassen @RRSEthiopia @UNHCREthiopia @andrewMbogori @mamadou_dbalde @MulualemDesta @UNHCRgov @UNDPEthiopia @UNDP Hambalyo 🙌🏼 Congratulations to the @RRSEthiopia @UNHCREthiopia and @AECID_es teams for bringing more off-grid clean energy to host and refugee communities around Kobe. Keep going!

Technology is reshaping every aspect of our lives, including humanitarian action.

Cash support to displaced families is not something new. But improving the tech behind it can save more lives and reshape futures.

Pleased to bring this innovative #SDGDigital solution to #UNGA.

[Foreign Policy @ForeignPolicy]

In 2022, the number of displaced people grew by the largest amount on record—and the crisis has shown no signs of slowing down. On June 13, @FilippoGrandi, the U.N. high commissioner for @Refugees, will join FP Live to discuss.

Der 8. Mai ist der Tag der Befreiung Deutschlands und der Welt von der Gewaltherrschaft des Nationalsozialismus. Dieser Tag mahnt uns:

Wir müssen Frieden, Freiheit, Demokratie und Rechtsstaat schützen und verteidigen – jederzeit.

@iMiaSanMia @FCBayernEN will not find a better coach than him. The impulsive and short-sighted decision-making at Bayern, and it’s lack of real leadership has led to an erosion of the continuity and stability that the club once stood for

People. Sun. Land. Water.

The Melkadida Refugee Compact is a community-led plan for resilience, climate adaptation & development. 1st results promising but much more is needed

Our visit with top @Refugees donors showed the potential of public-private & development partnerships

[UNHCR Ethiopia @UNHCREthiopia]

On Day 4, donors were in Melkadida, in the eastern #Somali region. Melkadida shows that even the most remote sites can be the perfect place to innovate. From mixed farming cooperatives to solar powered schools, #refugees are working with host communities towards self-reliance.

[Mark Manly @MarkManly]

So impressed by what we saw today in Melkadida, Ethiopia. Thanks to the inclusive approach of Govt of Ethiopia and sustained support of public and private donors, both host communities+refugees are starting to reap the fruits of development

To end extreme poverty and unlock sustainable development, G20 leaders should back financial architecture reform, deliver more concessional finance via #IDA21, and work with civil society to ensure the money gets to where it’s needed most. That’s why I’ve signed this important letter to G20 leaders.

Read and share.
