I’m working at the BBC’s Afghanistan Desk this week focusing on the stories of people on the ground (especially women). I’ve been in touch with so many in Kabul but if you feel like your voice/story hasn’t been heard please DM me. You can choose to remain anonymous. #Afghanistan

Two years ago, over half of school-aged refugee children in Uganda were out of school. Now the enrolment for primary school children is almost 80%. @RCorbishley writes on ensuring education gains aren't lost during COVID-19 school closures. @INEEtweets: inee.org/blog/fighting-…

2 years ago, over half of refugee children in #Uganda were out of school. Now almost 80% are enrolled. But #COVID19 threatens these achievements. Read @RCorbishley's blog for @INEEtweets about the importance of keeping children learning during Covid inee.org/blog/fighting-…

@Douglas4Moray Lots of respect for you taking this step. Thank you for showing integrity.

I haven't commented publicly on the situation with Dominic Cummings as I have waited to hear the full details. I welcome the statement to clarify matters, but there remains aspects of the explanation which I have trouble with. As a result I have resigned as a government Minister.

First Lady @JanetMuseveni lauds the @EduCannotWait programme and Education Consortium in Uganda as a huge success. The first year has improved access to learning for 150,000 refugee & host community children. On to year 2! Read more in today's @newvisionwire

#WorldMentalHealthDay In Uganda we're working with @eu_echo @WarChildHolland & @SaveChildrenNL to roll out #TeamUp, a specially designed set of structured activities providing psychosocial support to refugee children. "It helps you forget your problems" says Victoria #WMHD2019

#MenstruationMatters! Many girls tell us they drop out of school because they lack sanitary pads & washrooms, or get teased about periods. In #Uganda we're helping girls make their own affordable pads and constructing girls latrines. Keep girls in school! #MenstrualHygieneDay

I met some amazing, smart young women in northern Uganda and felt proud that our programming is ensuring that having a period no longer stops them going to school. My blog for @EduCannotWait on why this matters educationcannotwait.org/no-more-limits/

In #Uganda, 1 out of 2 girls report missing up to 3 days of school per month due to menstruation. Our new blog from partners @save_children looks at how menstrual health will be integrated into the @EduCannotWait response. #MHDAY2019. educationcannotwait.org/no-more-limits/

“This @EduCannotWait funding will support education for 100,000 children. It will construct 100 classrooms, train 1,000 teachers, build 480 school sanitation facilities, and provide thousands of new textbooks” – Rachael Corbishley, NGO Education Consortium #educationcannotwait

#Educationcannotwait is a transformative initiative and I reiterate our commitment as @UNinUganda to make it a reality in Uganda under great leadership of @ministry of education & with shared commitment of partners @save_children
