Amplifying UNDP’s work in crisis readiness, response and recovery. Tackling the world’s toughest challenges with innovative, lasting solutions.

@marklowen David was sauvissimo, to coin a phrase. Don't make them like that anymore

[Shoko Noda @shokonoda]

Across crises, accurate & timely information is vital step to ensure proper support.

At #SatellitesForPeace, @UNDP & partners are discussing how satellite imagery & data can support better decisions, faster response & more effective recovery.

Going home is only the beginning.

@Aimee_Brown_ reports from Afghanistan on how returnees are rebuilding their lives—and why recovery depends on opportunities, services and support for the communities welcoming them.

#WorldRefugeeDay

[UNDP Crisis Action @UNDPCrisis]

On #WorldRefugeeDay, we remember that displacement doesn't end when people flee.

For 117.8 million displaced people, the challenge is what comes next: jobs, services and a chance to rebuild.

Together, @UNDP and @Refugees are helping create opportunities.

[Shoko Noda @shokonoda]

Millions of Afghans returning home face poverty, drought & devastation from earthquakes.

But beyond crisis, there is resilience.

Supported by @UNDPaf & partners, refugees & host communities are coming together to recover & rebuild, our @Aimee_Brown_ reports.

#WorldRefugeeDay

[Shoko Noda @shokonoda]

🧕🏾👷🏾 Investing in youth is investing in peace.

At @ElmanPeaceHRC in Mogadishu 🇸🇴, I met young women & men and saw how learning new skills is motivating them to build a better future.

With @KenyaKoica🇰🇷, @UNDPSomalia is supporting this community-led approach to peacebuilding.

[UN Development @UNDP]

In many parts of the world, communities are working to get back on their feet amid disasters, displacement & conflict.

Through REVIVE & the support of @MOFAkr_eng, we support communities to quickly move toward recovery, stability & renewed livelihoods. https://t.co/gco506yu6c

[PNUD RDC @PNUDRDC]

L’approvisionnement en eau potable 🚰a été réhabilité dans trois localités du Nord-Kivu — Bujari, Kanyaruchinya & Buvira — grâce au financement de la Corée à travers le projet #REVIVE.
✅Ce système de distribution d’eau potable, d’une capacité de 50 m³, permet aujourd’hui de desservir 27 000 personnes.
✅Il bénéficie en priorité aux femmes et aux filles, qui parcouraient auparavant 6 à 11 km pour accéder à l’eau, les exposant aux violences, à l’insécurité et aux maladies hydriques.
✅Cette réhabilitation représente un levier essentiel de protection, de santé et de dignité, contribuant concrètement à la résilience des communautés affectées par la crise à l’Est de la RDC.

In Gaza, @devramiah shares how @UNDPPalestinian teams are supporting recovery under extraordinary conditions.

That work, like UNDP responses in crises worldwide, is made possible by #PartnersAtCore, enabling teams to take action and adapt as needs evolve.

[UN Development @UNDP]

Underwater mines & unexploded ordnance slow recovery, block livelihoods & keep families from returning home.

Our open innovation challenge is looking for practical, scalable ideas to map these hidden hazards so communities can rebuild safely and sooner. https://t.co/NnDF8qiOse

[UNDP Palestine @UNDPPalestinian]

As Palestinians bid farewell to 2025, a year marked by profound pain and hardship, resilience and hope endured despite unprecedented destruction.

This video shows how UNDP, with the Palestinian Government and partners, expanded its response in Gaza to meet urgent needs and sustain the foundations of daily life.

As a new year begins, our commitment remains.

[Shoko Noda @shokonoda]

UNDP is making an impact in 60 countries affected by forced displacement.

Recovery isn’t going back to what was before.
It’s building stronger, more resilient communities.

[UN Development @UNDP]

Displaced people and the communities that welcome them work to rebuild their lives, restore dignity and recover their futures.

From Afghanistan and Uganda to Syria and beyond, we support government-led recovery that strengthens communities. https://t.co/FtsKqiHOrP

#RefugeeForum

[Shoko Noda @shokonoda]

On #IDPD, we honour the strength of people living with disabilities — including survivors of landmines & UXO.

Explosive ordnance shatter livelihoods & futures.
Clearance saves lives & helps communities rebuild.

Watch how @UNDPLaoPDR is making a profound difference 👇

[UNDP Crisis Action @UNDPCrisis]

🆕 global innovation challenge launched.

Underwater explosives left by conflict contaminate rivers, lakes & coastlines.

@UNDP is calling on engineers, researchers & problem-solvers to help us find faster, safer & more affordable ways to detect them.

[Achim Steiner @ASteiner]

My heartfelt congratulations - @alexanderdecroo - as you begin your tenure today as @UNDP Administrator. I wish you all the best as you navigate these times of change and join the @UN and an amazing team and organisation at the core of the sustainable development promise!

[UNDP Afghanistan @UNDPaf]

On the second day of @ShokoNoda’s mission, she visited SMEs and returnee workers benefiting from UNDP support in Jalalabad.

Solar power is keeping businesses running during outages, enabling double shifts and creating 300 (50% female) new jobs, half of them for women.

#SMEs

[Haoliang Xu @HaoliangXu]

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we remember @UN & @UNDP colleagues and all humanitarian workers who gave their lives helping others. Their courage will never be forgotten. They must never be targets, nor should the people they serve.

[UN Development @UNDP]

Refugees don’t just need shelter, they need solidarity.

Host communities provide both, often against the odds.

This #WorldRefugeeDay, let’s honour their shared resilience and invest in their future.
