Transforming Africa also calls for greater investment in local communities hosting people forced to flee. As the African Development Bank Group Annual Meeting takes place this week, we urge stronger support for national efforts to drive refugee inclusion, solutions & the growth of local economies.
Reminiscing on #WorldRefugeeDay with a former refugee, now working with UNHCR East, Horn of Africa and Great Lakes. Millions more refugees in the East & Horn of Africa region need our support, not just to survive but to thrive. We can do much more to be in solidarity #WithRefugees
Excellent discussions on our partnership with IGAD Secretariat in protection, inclusion & #solutions for millions forced to flee in the region. Much progress from Member States to applaud; hosting refugees, enhancing dignity. More ground to cover together.
