Today at the French Embassy in Nairobi, NGOs and UN partners from Kenya and Somalia came together to mark World Humanitarian Day 2025—honoring humanitarian workers and reflecting on urgent global and regional challenges.

This year’s theme, “Strengthening global solidarity and empowering local communities,” underscores the need for collective action. With 300M people in need worldwide and only 16% of requirements funded, discussions emphasized the severe impact of funding cuts, climate shocks, and access constraints on humanitarian response.

“The call is clear: scale up anticipatory action and advance localization by resourcing national and local humanitarian actors to lead effective and sustainable response,” said Kulmiye Hussein Abdi, Executive Director of SOLO.

We thank the French Embassy for convening and supporting this annual platform that strengthens solidarity and fosters strategic dialogue. Now is the time to turn words into action.
