Great to join @weforum.org Global Councils meeting in Dubai this week, to join the Council on "reimagining aid"

Very happy to catch-up with DG Zahra Abdi who leads displacement solutions in Somalia, and President Luisa Celma Caetano Meque who does the same in Mozambique, at the Global
Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction this week! #GPDRR

Happy to be spending the next few weeks at the UN's institue for training and research @UNITAR. Learning lots about the training offered by the organisation- more than 500,000 people trained last year!

Only in Australia?

I completed my work as the SG's Special Adviser for Solutions to Internal Displacement this week. Working on our 'lessons-learnt' & reflecting on a 2.5 year journey. So much more to do but I think/hope we are all better equipped now - Gov's & UN alike - to support solutions for the displaced.

A final meeting with the Secretary-General, as I wind-up my role on internal displacement. It has been such a privilege to serve in this role the last 2.5 years.

Delighted to join a group of amazing IDP representatives at Mcgill Univ today, to talk about how to improve IDP representation in displacement solutions efforts!

Briefing the UN's Peacebuilding Commission in NY this morning. Conflict drives most protracted displacement. We need better conflict prevention & peacebuilding investments in solutions

En route to Lagos to join this important conversation with private sector actors on how to partner on long term solutions for internally displaced persona in Africa. Fantastic initiative by @unhcr.org

A few days at #COP29 in Baku to try to keep the world's 76 million+ IDPs visible. Millions of them are on the front lines of the climate crisis.

This week, in Geneva, Somali Minister for Planning, Mohamud Abdirahman Sh. Farah presented the Government's solutions plan to UN Member States and UN agencies. Their goal? To settle 1 million Somali IDPs in the next 5 years. Clear. Ambitious. And do-able with Gov commitment & follow-through.
