9,3 millones de personas en el Norte de #Centroamérica necesitan ayuda humanitaria, 4,9 tienen necesidades de protección. El @IDMC_Geneva calcula que 500,000 personas en la región están en situación de desplazamiento forzado. #NodejarANadieAtras @UNOCHA_Americas @ECHO_LatAm

A Taliban ban on NGOs employing women has forced NRC and other humanitarian organisations to suspend services across #Afghanistan. We cannot effectively reach children, women and men in desperate need without our female staff. nrc.no/news/2022/dece…

Whilst we gain clarity on the announcement of a ban on NGOs employing women in Afghanistan, we are suspending our programmes, demanding that men and women can equally continue our lifesaving assistance. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/new…

@bjornhamland is it Norway’s income that will grow 60% rather then the economy?

Norway’s economy is set to grow by 60% over two years, fuelled by skyrocketing energy prices in the wake of war in Ukraine, but the once generous donor is offering no expansion of its aid.2/2 development-today.com/archive/dt-202…

Is the golden standard of Nordic aid withering away at a time when the world needs it most? Sweden drops 1% of GNI target, makes aid a tool of migration policy. 1/2 development-today.com/archive/dt-202…

@PaulaGaviriaB @UN_HRC @ONU_es Felicitaciones!

@UN_HRC Agradecida por esta designación. Es un honor y una responsabilidad seguir reflexionando y buscando soluciones a uno de los grandes desafíos de nuestro tiempo. Este no es solo un reconocimiento a mi trabajo sino a la importancia de América Latina en el Consejo de @ONU_es

At #HRC51, the Human Rights Council has appointed Ms. Paula Gaviria of #Colombia as the new Special Rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons.

Preliminary estimates show already high levels of new #displacement for 2022. Read @IDMC_Geneva's mid-year update here:

The humanitarian response must integrate gender equality. We are very grateful in Honduras for the support of @NORCAPweb through a Gender Advisor GENCAP. Great to receive the global chief @chrivis in Tegucigalpa #EquipoHumanitarioHN @UNOCHA_Americas

To world leaders attending @Davos this week: You need to reboot international diplomacy, which has been incredibly impotent. We need effective prevention of wars and conflict resolution to end the violence that has driven 100 million from their homes. edition.cnn.com/2022/05/22/bus…

@JimenaPuyana @OleBergum Que bonito! en la próxima espero poder quedar allá!

I spent two weeks in #Colombia with @dickinsonbeth studying how US #sanctions have affected peace in that country as part of @CrisisGroup’s research on US #sanctions in conflicts around the world. Some observations from my trip, a 🧵1/

NOW: 4 million people have fled #Ukraine in just over one month. The international community must facilitate an immediate ceasefire, and ensure international humanitarian and human rights laws are respected. This senseless war must stop now. data2.unhcr.org/en/situations/…
