Stronger together for Africa’s children. @AugoWfp & @UNESCO_Addis are deepening collaboration on school feeding, education and inter-agency initiatives, working together to advance inclusive, resilient and quality education for children across Africa.
Celebrating International Translation Day with @ECA_OFFICIAL. Translation carries context, history, identity, humour, memory and culture. It requires an understanding of people and communities. Responsible innovation must ensure that technological progress goes hand in hand.

Across Africa, conflicts, displacement, climate-related shocks and other emergencies continue to affect children’s ability to learn and teachers’ ability to teach.
The launch of the #Education in Emergencies and Resilience (EiE) Cluster under #CESA2635 marks an important step towards strengthening continental collaboration and ensuring that education remains a priority in crisis and emergency contexts.
The Cluster provides a platform for Member States, Regional Economic Communities and partners to connect experiences, strengthen knowledge exchange and advance practical approaches to keeping education systems functioning during disruption.
From preparedness and prevention to continuity and recovery, building resilience requires coordinated action across the education sector and beyond.
The ambition is clear: education systems that can withstand shocks, adapt to changing circumstances and continue to serve learners when they need them most.

Peace is not simply the absence of war. It depends on the ability of societies to confront disagreement without violence, protect human rights and dignity, and keep dialogue open when tensions rise.
Today, conflict, displacement, discrimination, hate speech, backsliding on rights and polarization are fracturing communities and eroding trust.
On this #InternationalDayOfPeace, @UNESCO calls for greater investment in the institutions, skills and relationships that allow societies to address tensions before they turn into violence.

On 23 August, we remember the victims and survivors of slavery and acknowledge its enduring legacies.
Remembering is an act of collective responsibility and dignity. Through education, research & dialogue, UNESCO works to preserve this memory.
