Building on the Deputy Secretary-General's meeting with the Africa Regional Collaborative Platform (RCP), Resident Coordinators & Regional Directors strategize to maximize RCP impact. A key action point is streamlining UN expert deployment at different levels to boost the  #SDGs .

I have seen first hand how technology inspires refugee girls to dream and be changemakers in society; a powerful tool to a better future for them & their communities. We can’t leave them behind in an increasingly digitized world. #GirlsinICTDay

The strong partnership between Education Cannot Wait & UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency is supporting many refugee refugee youth access education in #Dadaab , & other parts of East Africa.

This brutal conflict is costing #Sudan its present & future. Nearly all of the country’s students, professionals and business owners, are now displaced. As Filippo Grandi asks, “if this middle class is destroyed, what will be left of the country?”

Peace must prevail!

A year ago, millions of lives were turned upside down when conflict began in #Sudan .

At the #Sudan Conference,  Filippo Grandi  & others called for an urgent end to this crisis. Hoping the conference will bring more support to Sudanese & host countries.

In meetings with people displaced by the conflict in #Sudan , painful stories shared by women are the most striking & heartbreaking.

Our teams & partners are doing what they can but the services they need are extremely overstretched.

The conflict in Sudan continues, sadly.

8.5 million people have fled their homes. And more continue to flee.

Sudan and its neighbouring countries, generously hosting refugees, urgently need international support.

Silencing the guns is as vital as ever! unhcr.org/news/briefing-…

Thank you Kelly T. Clements for highlighting the #reintegration opportunities for refugees returning to South Sudan.

As we celebrate Eid Al-Fitr with our loved ones, I wish all a blessed day especially those who have been forced to flee.  

We must all join together to find peace & solutions for the millions of displaced.

30 years ago, one of the greatest failures of humanity -the #GenocideAgainstTheTutsi in #Rwanda -began.

At UNHCR we honor the  memory of those who were lost & stand with people of Rwanda in solidarity, affirming our commitment to unity, reconciliation & resilience.

I am inspired by Abdirahman,  who is an amazing footballer & has the confidence to pursue his dream. We must join together to find solutions & opportunities for refugee youth  #Sportsday unhcr.org/news/stories/f…

Thank you Julieta Valls Noyes for highlighting the vast needs to respond to the crisis that began a year ago & has gone on way too long. The people of #Sudan deserve peace. This funding support from Population, Refugees, and Migration Bureau is critical for refugees displaced by this brutal conflict.

I have launched the appeal for renewed support to South Sudanese brothers and sisters, and their hosts. If given the resources, the partners will save lives and support many to thrive and prepare for solutions whenever possible.
