Great to see President @EmmanuelMacron today at @Elysee. We discussed key humanitarian crises and efforts to advance solutions for those forced to flee. Grateful for France’s longstanding leadership in supporting refugees and for its strong partnership with UNHCR.

Met @IFC_org Managing Director Makhtar Diop @Diop_IFC on mobilizing private sector investment for displaced people.
We are committed to creating sustainable economic opportunities for refugees and host communities to strengthen financial inclusion and economic self-reliance.

Pleased to meet with the IMF Executive Board and Deputy MD Kenji Okamura to discuss our strong collaboration in finding solutions to forced displacement, helping build refugee resilience and economic inclusion, and supporting economies of refugee-hosting countries. @IMFNews

Warmly welcomed today’s meeting with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, @BarhamSalih.
We agreed to step up our collaboration through concrete programming and durable solutions. Grateful for this partnership.

Met with @WorldBank President Ajay Banga, MD Anna Bjerde, and the Executive Board — key partners in addressing protracted displacement through strategic financing, inclusion and job creation.
This collaboration is crucial to boost refugee self‑reliance and reduce aid dependency.

Leaving Chad, I am deeply grateful to UNHCR teams doing lifesaving work every day.
I also carry profound appreciation for the communities hosting Sudanese refugees.
Their solidarity is extraordinary. But not infinite. The world must step up its support for the people here.

Asante sana, Kenya! I was inspired by the people I met here.
Refugee inclusion and finding solutions are core to protecting refugees. Kenya is leading the way.
Thank you to the UNHCR team on the ground here, who every day devote their lives to delivering our mission.

Meeting President @WilliamsRuto today, I took the opportunity to thank him for Kenya's generosity in hosting and including refugees.
I have seen first-hand how the landmark Shirika plan is improving lives.
We deeply value our partnership with the government and people of Kenya.

Today UNHCR launched a report confirming what I have seen in many places with my own eyes.
Funding cuts and dramatic levels of displacement have a devastating impact on millions of refugees around the world — with entire regions at risk of instability. unhcr.org/news/briefing-note…
Difficult situation for Sudanese refugees arriving in Chad. Since 2023, more than 800 000 Sudanese Refugees have arrived in Chad, most of them coming from Darfur. Development partners are committed to supporting. @UnhcrTchad

Refugees and displaced people continue to be well over 120 million worldwide.
With conflicts raging, peacemaking on life support and wars fought in total disregard for the lives of civilians, more and more people flee in fear.

Un monde qui protège les réfugiés est un monde plus sûr, plus stable et plus juste.
Le HCR est aux côtés de celles et ceux qui sont contraints de fuir - aujourd’hui, demain et aussi longtemps qu'il le faudra. Telle est notre promesse.

Media are largely silent on this topic.
Nobody mentions it in political debates.
Millions of lives worldwide are being affected by brutal cuts in international aid.
Soon we will see more people die unnecessarily, children go hungry, and many move on, desperately seeking help.
Hervé de Villeroché retweeted
An appeal to European leaders from a lifetime humanitarian: as you discuss boosting defense spending please don’t overlook humanitarian aid, which faces devastating cuts.
Aid, too, is about keeping your countries safe. Aid promotes stability. And a stable world is a safer world.

Numbers of Congolese civilians fleeing brutal conflict continues to rise. In just 2 weeks more than 60,000 have fled #DRC to Burundi. This is an influx not seen in the country for decades. Latest UN Refugee Agency data published today: data.unhcr.org/en/documents/…

The stories I’ve heard from Sudanese refugees in Chad are beyond harrowing. No one, anywhere, should ever endure what they have endured.
The world needs to hear their voices. We must #KeepEyesOnSudan.
"They were 180 when they left El Geneina. They were only ten that arrived safely in Chad."
@DominiqueHyde of @Refugees shares a harrowing story of Sudanese people trying to reach safety in neighbouring Chad.
Hervé de Villeroché retweeted
Today I met some of the 500 Sudanese refugees who arrive daily in the Chadian town of Adre.
61,000 have arrived in Chad since the beginning of the month.
223,000 since the beginning of the year.
700,000 since the start of the conflict.
A tragedy which a ceasefire could stop.

The global economy has shown resilience. But at 3.2 percent projected for 2024 and 2025, global growth remains below historical average. Reforms that foster productivity can help boost growth over the medium term. More in our latest World Economic Outlook. imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/…
Latest World Economic Outlook !
Our new World Economic Outlook numbers are out. Growth is steady at 3.2 percent projected for 2024 and 2025. This shows a resilient global economy, yet reforms needed to raise growth over the medium-term. More here: imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/…
