Speaking today in a panel on consequences of #COVID19 on food security in contexts of armed, I voiced concerns from what we see in the field.

Humanitarian aid systems are under mounting pressure!

Whats happens to refugees when the aid is cut?

The team here followed 622 refugee households for over 1 year - interviewing them monthly.

Good news for refugees in Kenya!
The Refugee ID is officially accepted for SIM card registration and mobile money services.

This change gives refugees greater access to more services.

• Forces each country to write, fund and stick to a clear action plan
• Puts survivors first with guaranteed legal aid, shelters and counselling
• Public peer-review holds governments accountable

Funding isn't enough. Real solidarity means building understanding & relationships. #GatheringPoints offer space to listen & center affected voices, especially crucial in places like #EasternCongo.

The devastating conflict in #Sudan is entering its third year, still as tragic. So much suffering, so many people displaced, some that I have met who hope to one day return home. But as #peace delays, this hope wanes.
It is time for a turning point. https://t.co/VxBOuyZBwp

The African passport’s time has come.  As the richest African man @AlikoDangote says he needs 35 visas to travel in Africa,  a more united Africa is key not only to tackle the migration challenges but also boost internal trade and open the door to Kwame Nkrumah’s old dream : the African citizenship. #AfricasTimeHasCome

It’s #WorldRefugeeDay! Celebrate by taking a moment to consider how you are making an effort to meaningfully include refugees in decision-making processes.

@IDiplomat proudly partners with refugee-led organizations globally, supporting them to shape refugee policy for the better

[Cohere @WeAreCohere_Org]

For too long refugees have been observing others make these decisions for them. That needs to change.
You can’t expect refugees to accept being kept on the periphery in decision-making spaces when they play such a critical role in the delivery.
