Kenya was the High Commissioner @BarhamSalih 's first visit. It underscored a core priority: protection must go hand in hand with self-reliance, inclusion and durable solutions - and through the Shirika Plan, Kenya is showing what’s possible. Karibu Kenya!🇰🇪

In Dadaab, that means healthcare, community leadership, youth-led ideas and long-term planning that creates more choices for refugees and host communities. Together with Government and partners, we continue working with communities towards more dignified futures.

Returning to Dadaab felt deeply personal. I served here years ago and returned this week as @UNHCR_Kenya Representative. Ahead of World Refugee Day, Dadaab reminds us that everyone has the right to seek safety. Safety must be matched by dignity, inclusion and opportunity.

Over the last few weeks I’ve met important faith based partner agencies @ADRAIntl & @WorldVision. We exchanged about support to refugees in the region & how we can increase our combined impact with communities, despite recurrent emergencies & much limited resources.

Today, 58 Burundian refugees are voluntarily returning home from Nairobi. For families like Eric’s, return means the chance to rebuild, reconnect and see their children resume school. When conditions allow, voluntary repatriation is an important pathway to solutions.

For children forced to flee, education is safety, stability and possibility. Grateful for TECNO’s partnership to help expand learning opportunities for refugee children and youth across Africa, including here in Kenya.

Young refugee innovators from Kakuma are using AI to explore solutions for their communities. Supported by UNHCR, they recently took part in the AI Everything Kenya Summit in Nairobi. Refugee youth are not just part of the conversation on innovation - they are helping shape it.

Access to healthcare can determine whether someone forced to flee can manage a chronic condition with dignity. Partnerships that bring care closer to refugees and host communities are vital to inclusion and sustainable solutions in Kenya and across the region.

For people forced to flee, managing diabetes or high blood pressure can be difficult when care is out of reach. New UNHCR partnerships with @novonordiskfond, World Diabetes Foundation & @novonordisk aim to help change that across East Africa including🇰🇪 🔗bit.ly/43gvQhV
