Proud to support individual and communal mental health, psychosocial well-being and social cohesion in displaced communities of Lebanon during crisis. This is how we are putting #EUForeignPolicy into action!
Frontline staff are the first to show up, and the first to respond. IOM, in coordination with the @NMHPLebanon -MoPH, trained 152 staff on Psychological First Aid across Lebanon as part of the crisis response. This initiative is funded by @EU_FPI & @EUinLebanon

In #Lebanon, we partnered with @IOMLebanon & Lebanese organisations to ensure that essential mental health support reaches crisis affected & displaced communities - including journalists risking their lives to report from the frontlines. No one should face trauma alone. The EU is proud to fund support sessions as safe spaces for war reporters to process, heal & share. This is #EUForeignPolicy in action! #WorldPressFreedomDay

🇮🇹 Italian speakers, this article is worth your attention The situation is even more volatile than described here - and much has already changed since this piece was written a few months ago. Al-Hol, the camp at the centre of this report, officially closed in February 2026. The remaining families were transferred to Aq Burhan camp, northern Aleppo, which currently hosts around 3,000 people across approximately 730 families. Meanwhile, thousands escaped during the chaotic handover between Kurdish forces and the Syrian government, a dispersal that raises serious security concerns. Yet, within this alarming picture, there are concrete reasons for hope worth highlighting. 📍Countries like Kosovo, Albania, and North Macedonia were among the first to repatriate their citizens from the camps. Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, has launched structured programmes of repatriation, rehabilitation, and reintegration. Both regions are supported by GCERF. In Europe, France has brought back over 580 women and children, supporting them with psychological, educational, and social programmes. The message is clear: repatriation is not just a humanitarian imperative. It is also a security choice. As long as these people – especially children - are not brought home and supported through serious de-radicalisation and reintegration programmes, the risk to Europe and the wider world remains real and growing. Read the article. Share it. Don't let this crisis fade into silence. @EU_Commission @eu_eeas @ItalyMFA

Today, on #MineAwarenessDay, we are proud to be a leading supporter to 🇺🇦 #Ukraine’s mine action efforts, as part of its broader recovery & resilience. With EU support, Ukraine has returned over 42,000 km² of land - an area around the size of Denmark- have been returned to productive use & more than one million explosive hazards have been neutralised, allowing communities to return home & farmers to safely cultivate their land again.

We support humanitarian mine action worldwide, helping communities recover from conflict by reducing the threat posed by mines and explosive remnants of war. Armenia, Ukraine, Gaza, Libya and Lebanon are only a few places worldwide where we support mine clearance, risk education, and local capacity-building to enhance safety and resilience.

Wrapping up a visit to DRC 🇨🇩 with an interview at @HirondelleRDC. Great presentation of their excellent work on the media environment, disinformation and hate speech. And an opportunity to talk about the wide range of @EU_FPI activities on behalf of 🇪🇺.

We have partnered with @IOMLebanon to boost psychosocial care for displaced persons with disabilities in #Lebanon as conflict escalates. Healing minds of those most vulnerable is as critical as healing wounds. Watch the video and learn more. This is #EUForeignPolicy in action! 📷 IOM

An EU-supported a regional dialogue on climate & security in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, brought together partners from West Africa & the Sahel. As climate change fuels resource pressure, conflict & displacement, the EU is working with @UNEP and regional partners to prioritise climate, peace & security. Supporting shared solutions for more coordinated responses. This is #EUForeignPolicy in action!

We are putting #EUForeignPolicy into action to tackle the challenges that define our times. On the second day of #FPIDays 2026, we reflected on gender equality, EU peace mediation, discussed the current situation with peacemakers in the #MiddleEast, as well as how to counter disinformation & #FIMI in the digital age.

Happy International Women's Day! It was our honour to host an inspiring group of gender equality experts this week through the European Union Visitors Programme #EUVP The visitors met with high level interlocutors, including the current and former European Commissioners for Equality @hadjalahbib @helenadalli, and witnessed the adoption of the new EU Gender Equality Strategy 2026-2030. As the EU continues to step up its commitment to equality, we are glad to have these #EUVPAlumni as multipliers of this common value globally, ensuring that equality is a key element to decision making, from climate and digital policy to external action. #EUForeignPolicy #WomenPeaceSecurity #InternationalWomensDay

In Cȏte d’Ivoire we’re taking the loudest, meanest, weirdest comments from social media & flipping them into laughs & real talks🎤 #LaissonsParlerLesGens podcast x #Kouman launched the Decouv’Rire Comedy Club - a stand-up show where hate turns into humour & rumour into conversation. This & more is what the #Kouman project is about – an initiative promoting collaboration between youth & media to counter hate speech & disinformation through inclusive & positive exchanges.
