With huge thanks to Indonesia for stepping up. But there must be serious longer-term regional discussions to address the root causes for these desperate movements. The Rohingya cannot be abandoned. unhcr.org/news/press/2022/12… via @refugees

Self-Awareness, as part of counseling, can help refugees overcome challenges as they work to become self-reliant.
In this video, James Nanzala Nyangule explains the importance of self-awareness and how the counselors in RefugePoint’s URPP help clients to become self-aware.

"We want to especially stress the important role of UNHCR as protection agency in ensuring MHPSS is integrated more systematically and consistently in all protection work and the work of the global protection cluster" Edo Driessen @NLinGeneva at @Refugees ExCom meeting. – at Meyrin, Suisse

Dutch govt at UNHCR ExCom: "For the Netherlands full integration of MHPSS in humanitarian and refugee response is a key priority. MHPSS should be an integral part of the humanitarian and refugee response in crisis situations, just as much as shelter, water and food."

If you are at #UNHCR #ExCom2022 today, don't miss the #NGO side-event, with speakers from @NRC_Geneva, @WorldVisionUN & @GrnRefugees: What's stoping us from 'learning lessons' & achieving system reforms to address the #financing gap, global #hunger crisis & protection inequity?
Covid-19 & Ukraine conflict demonstrated that implications of crises:
🔺 disproportionately affect marginalised communities
🔺 aggravate existing risks
➡️ To respond to emerging needs equitably, we need to address funding gap, inequities in response, & financing ecosystem.
“When considering system reforms to address gaps in response to forced displacement it is imperative to take into account views of refugees & affected communities. This calls for their equitable & inclusive representation in related decision-making processes.” @GrnRefugees
"Fact that people are dying of #hunger now is evidence that we're failing to learn. We can build on lessons from the situation in Somalia & the current Ukraine crisis: United we re stronger. Solidarity is possible & is poweful" says Mary Njeri of @WorldVisionUN
🚨 Humanitarian assistance alone can't address root causes of crisis and achieve durable solutions.
Wider ODA picture is important. As humanitarian crises become more protracted, we need stronger coordination on financing across humanitarian & development actors says Kaela Glass
