The International Rescue Committee (IRC) today announced the launch of a new project to bring safe, clean drinking water to crisis-affected communities in Nigeria, Chad, and Somalia. In partnership with GiveWell, the project will deploy in-line chlorination (ILC) solutions to ensure safe water at scale in some of the world’s most fragile humanitarian settings.

In communities affected by conflict and climate change, safe water is a lifeline. It is necessary for survival, underpins nutrition, and enables health systems to function. Yet, millions of displaced people and members of host communities remain reliant on untreated or contaminated water, particularly in areas where climate change is accelerating drought, flooding, and disease outbreaks. 

According to WHO estimates, 1.4 million deaths could be prevented each year through improving access to safely managed water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. The IRC and GiveWell partnership is designed to deliver safe water to 1.75 million people by installing in-line chlorination devices into water systems across 7 refugee camps in Chad, 93 communities in Nigeria and 50 communities in Somalia. 

This 18-month pilot will introduce a cost-effective approach to water treatment across refugee camps, displacement settlements, and vulnerable host communities. In-line chlorination is a simple, low-tech method that automatically doses chlorine into flowing water at the point of collection, reducing the daily effort required of households compared with manual chlorination. By treating water at the source, it supports consistent use and can be scaled to serve entire communities or small municipalities. 

David Miliband, President and CEO of the IRC, said: 

“Water chlorination is one of the most evidence-based and effective WASH interventions. It dramatically reduces diarrheal disease, safeguards against outbreaks like cholera, and protects children from the cycle of illness and malnutrition. In partnership with GiveWell, we will not only deliver safe water to people affected by some of the world’s most challenging humanitarian crises, but also generate evidence on a highly cost-effective intervention that works—strengthening the case for wider adoption across the humanitarian sector and demonstrating how to achieve the greatest results for every dollar invested.”

The IRC has decades of experience supporting communities in crisis with vital WASH services, with local partnerships and community engagement at the heart of our approach. With this pilot, the IRC will strengthen these local systems for consistent chlorination, building robust water quality monitoring and cost effectiveness analysis so that local actors can map the most cost-effective pathways to scale.

Elie Hassenfeld, Co-Founder and CEO of GiveWell, said: 

“We expect this program will do even more than provide safe water to about 1.7 million people—it will generate important learnings about implementing cost-effective chlorination at scale in humanitarian settings. The data we collect by supporting this pilot program, and others like it, will inform our future grantmaking and help people more in the years ahead.”

GiveWell’s support builds on its partnership with the IRC, previously backing efforts to improve access to malnutrition treatment across five countries. Together, the organizations are committed to demonstrating that lifesaving interventions can be highly cost-effective, ensuring that every dollar of donor funding reaches as many people as possible. 

The climate crisis is a water crisis — and the stakes are highest in fragile and conflict-affected settings. This pilot will demonstrate how consistent chlorination is a key pillar of cost-effective, climate resilient WASH, protecting the health and resilience of those most in need.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is deeply alarmed by the worsening humanitarian situation as thousands continue to flee El Fasher in Darfur, Sudan towards Tawila in search of safety. Thousands of newly displaced people have arrived in Tawila in recent weeks, joining around 400,000 people already displaced and living there, putting immense strain on already limited resources and services.

Despite ongoing efforts by humanitarian actors, basic needs in Tawila are being met at only about 50 percent. Families are living in overcrowded, makeshift shelters with limited access to clean water, food, and healthcare. The mass arrival of displaced people is overwhelming existing systems, leaving thousands without even the most essential support.

Arjan Hehenkamp, IRC Darfur crisis lead, said

“People arriving from El Fasher are coming from what can only be described as a hellscape, a city torn apart by conflict, destruction, and despair. They come with nothing but the clothes on their backs, severely traumatized, looking for safety and support. But Tawila itself is at breaking point. Without a significant scale-up in humanitarian assistance, the suffering here will deepen further.”

The IRC is scaling up its emergency response in Tawila and the surrounding areas through safe water supply, mobile health clinics, cash assistance, and emergency response activities to reach those most in need. The IRC’s teams are providing lifesaving medical care, clean water, emergency cash and essential supplies to newly arrived families, while also working to prevent disease outbreaks amid poor sanitation and overburdened services.

The IRC calls for urgent action from the international community to rapidly increase flexible funding and exert diplomatic pressure on all parties to the conflict, and their sponsors, to protect civilians, ensure safe passage for displaced people, and sustain humanitarian access across North Darfur. All parties to the conflict must ensure protection of civilians, both those remaining in El Fasher and those seeking safe passage out, and ensure the protection of all humanitarian responders. Without immediate support, the needs of over 400,000 displaced people in Tawila will far outstrip the capacity of humanitarian organizations to respond, leaving countless families without water, shelter, or medical care.

His Excellency Dr. Mathew Antonio Patrick Herminie sworn in as the sixth President of the Republic of Seychelles during a momentous national ceremony held at Unity Stadium, Sunday Evening. The event marked a historic milestone in the nation’s democratic journey and drew an enthusiastic gathering of citizens from Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue, alongside foreign dignitaries and local leaders. Outgoing President Mr. Wavel Ramkalawan was amongst the attendees, bearing witness to the peaceful transition of power that continues to distinguish Seychelles as a model of democracy in the region.

During the ceremony, President Herminie took the Oath of Allegiance to the Constitution of Seychelles and the Presidential Oath before the Honorable Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Rony Govinden, in accordance with Article 57 of the Constitution.

In his inaugural address, President Herminie outlined an ambitious and inclusive vision rooted in social justice, equal opportunity, and national unity. He reaffirmed his administration’s guiding philosophy, “For the many, not the few” and pledged to build a compassionate and equitable society where no Seychellois is left behind. Emphasizing the eradication of poverty and the upholding of human dignity, he called for a collective renewal of faith in the nation’s capacity for progress and shared prosperity.

Launching his administration’s “My First 100 Days” action plan, President Herminie emphasized immediate priorities designed to deliver tangible improvements in the lives of citizens. “Not every measure can be implemented on day one,” he stated, “but from this very first day, we will begin the work—hard work, guided by intelligence.” The plan will focus on high-impact areas that address the most pressing needs of Seychellois families.

In a moving appeal to the national spirit, President Herminie shared what he described as his “Seychellois Creole dream” a vision of a nation where unity is strength, dignity is a way of life, and justice is a daily reality. He invoked the symbolism of Unity Stadium, noting that its name reflected his central mission to bring the people of Seychelles together in a shared purpose grounded in the richness of Creole culture and identity.

Addressing the youth, President Herminie declared that his administration would not merely speak about young people but govern alongside them. He urged Seychellois youth to take their rightful place at the forefront of science, technology, innovation, and artificial intelligence, calling them not the future waiting in the wings, but “here, at the centre of our development.”

The President also called for a renewed sense of shared responsibility and active citizenship, reminding the nation of its democratic duty: “Do not only ask what Seychelles can do for you, but also ask what you can do for Seychelles.” He commended the Seychellois people for their steadfast commitment to peace and democracy, and urged every citizen to contribute to the building of a fairer, stronger, and more united nation.

Affirming his commitment to safeguarding the nation’s independence, President Herminie pledged to defend Seychelles’ sovereignty with clarity and courage. “Seychelles for Seychellois,” he proclaimed, reaffirming that while the country will engage openly and constructively with the world, it will do so from a position of dignity and self-respect.

To the international community, President Herminie extended a sincere hand of friendship, solidarity, and mutual respect. He emphasized his government’s commitment to partnerships founded on fairness and reciprocity, encompassing trade, investment, commerce, and the exchange of knowledge. “We remain friends to all and enemies to none,” he said, underscoring the nation’s long-standing principle of peaceful and cooperative diplomacy.

The ceremony also featured blessings offered by religious leaders, cultural performances, and musical tributes celebrating the diversity and unity of the Seychellois people. Following the oath-taking, President Herminie received his first presidential salute from the Guard of Honour, the presidential standard was raised, and a 21-gun salute echoed across the stadium, heralding the dawn of a new era.

As Seychelles approaches the 50th anniversary of its independence, the inauguration of President Herminie marks the beginning of a renewed national chapter, defined by unity, dignity, and the shared pursuit of prosperity for all Seychellois.

African Export-import Bank (Afreximbank) (www.Afreximbank.com) on Saturday in Cairo, Egypt, swore in Dr. George Elombi as the Bank’s fourth President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, taking over from Prof. Benedict Oramah as head of the African Multilateral Finance Institution.

Formalised with an oath administered by Mr. Wale Edun, Chairman of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Bank and Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy of Nigeria, the investiture ceremony was witnessed by over 2,000 guests, including heads of state, former heads of state, government leaders and representatives from across Africa and the Caribbean, top African business leaders, all former Afreximbank Presidents, members of the Bank’s Board of Directors, shareholders, serving and former staff members, friends and family of Dr. Elombi, and a host of other dignitaries.

In an inaugural address following the swearing in, Dr. Elombi announced his unwavering commitment to carrying forward the legacy of the Bank’s past, to deepening impact, strengthening partnerships, and continuing the mission of building an Africa that trades with itself and thrives on its own terms.

He pointed out that the structure of global trade was disfavourable to Africa and therefore, had to change as it was too dependent on the export of commodities, saying: “our mission is therefore, to transform the structure of that trade. To change the structure, we must process. We must produce. Unless we produce, we cannot trade.”

President Elombi announced that, over the next five to ten years, he would prioritise sectors he believed would have the most significant and sustained impact on Africa’s trade and wellbeing, including promoting and accelerating value addition and strategic minerals processing to curb the export of raw potential.

“Afreximbank will therefore, create a new, high-impact financing window, specifically for projects that process raw minerals into semi-finished goods or finished goods,” he said. “We will establish a Strategic Minerals Development Programme to finance entire value chains, from extraction and refining to manufacturing finished components, capturing much more value here at home and creating high-skilled jobs for our people.”

Dr. Elombi added that Afreximbank would prioritise the deepening of intra-African trade and regional integration as the success of its value addition agenda would ultimately depend on its ability to secure markets for the goods produced.

“We will intensify efforts to break down trade barriers, strengthen cross-border infrastructure, and foster seamless movement of goods, services, people, and capital across our continent,” he said. “Afreximbank will therefore, continue to play a catalytic role in the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) by driving forward key programmes and initiatives developed over the past decade and by introducing new, targeted interventions, where necessary, to accelerate progress.”

Other priorities outlined by Dr. Elombi include catalysing and building critical trade-enabling infrastructure; leveraging innovation and digital technology, including exploring the creation of a Pan-African Digital Currency, strengthening financial integration and innovation across the continent; and mobilising global African capital.

The Bank would also prioritise its financial strength in recognition that “only a strong and well-capitalised institution can make the scale of interventions required to transform Africa’s trade and development landscape,” Dr. Elombi said, adding that priority would also go to growing strategic and innovative partnerships since partnerships with relevant development institutions was central to the Bank’s mission of advancing Africa’s trade and economic transformation.

“We recognize that Africa’s progress depends not only on the strength of individual institutions, but also on the power of collaboration among them,” stated Dr. Elombi.

President Elombi noted the increasingly hostile narrative targeted at African multilateral institutions owned and controlled by Africans “not because we fail or are seen as another African failure” but “because we are successful” and added that, unlike other multilateral institutions, Afreximbank’s preferred creditor status was not granted out of goodwill or benevolence of governments but was enshrined in the Bank’s Establishment Treaty which is signed by all Member States, Dr. Elombi explained.

The investiture also featured remarks by Mr. Hassan Abdalla, Governor of the Central Bank of Egypt, Hon. Louis-Paul Motazé, Minister of Finance of Cameroon, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, Founder, Dangote Group, Ms. Selma Malika Haddadi, Deputy Chairperson of the African Union Commission and Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew, Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis.

With more than 210 signings and openings already secured this year, the Group is steadily advancing its transformation towards becoming one of the world’s most prominent hotel companies, anchored by a portfolio designed for today’s travellers and tomorrow’s priorities.   

Elie Younes, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Development Officer at Radisson Hotel Group, remarks: “The year so far has seen Radisson Hotel Group succeeding in our pursuit of excellence for customers and owners. Hotel openings have been carefully curated to what business and leisure travellers are seeking in 2025, and we have a very strong pipeline of hotel signings and anticipated openings.”

Among the highlights is The Medlock at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, an innovative partnership that redefines what a stadium hotel can be. Later this year, Radisson Blu CDG Airport Terminal Hotel, Paris will welcome travellers at one of Europe’s busiest gateways.  

France has proven to be a key growth market across the Group’s portfolio, with luxury lifestyle brand Radisson Collection leading the charge. This year saw the long-awaited opening of Cour des Loges Lyon, A Radisson Collection Hotel. 

Radisson Collection Hotel and the signing of the historic Banke Opera Paris, A Radisson Collection Hotel, which will debut in 2026. The brand furthermore marked its arrival in Hungary with Radisson Collection Hotel, Basilica Budapest, a property that perfectly synthesizes historic grandeur with contemporary luxury, and reopened the Radisson Collection Hotel, Berlin in spectacular style. These milestones reinforce Radisson Collection’s role as the Group’s showcase for design, heritage, and modern hospitality. 

Radisson RED’s bold personality is gaining global momentum, with new hotels signed and opened across the UK, Romania, India, UAE and Thailand. The brand reached a milestone with the opening of Radisson RED Oslo City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel, the Group’s second Verified Net Zero hotel, underscoring its leadership in sustainable hospitality. In London, the brand will debut in the heart of the city minutes from Liverpool Street Station through a partnership with PPHE Hotel Group, while in Rome, the art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio introduced a striking design-led landmark. 

Radisson Individuals has gone from strength to strength, offering crucial flexibility to Group stakeholders and growing to over 100 hotels in operation and under development since its launch in 2020. This year alone, the brand expanded its footprint across France, Portugal, Germany, Malta, and Kazakhstan, with new signings secured in the UK, Poland, Spain, Greece, Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye, India, and the Philippines. Recently, the brand’s emphasis on empowering owners and broadening guest choice has been cemented with the introduction of three exciting brand segments: Premier, Boutique, and Retreats. 

The Radisson brand, too, continues to evolve with a mix of sustainability milestones and market firsts. Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel opened as the Group’s first Verified Net Zero hotel while the brand entered new markets such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Armenia, and Madinah, Saudi Arabia. In the UK, Radisson will anchor a landmark all-electric stadium development for Oxford United Football Club, setting a new benchmark for future-ready hospitality. Growth across APAC has been equally dynamic, with 13 new Radisson properties opening in India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. 

With the demand for leisure travel rising, Radisson Hotel Group continues to expand its resort portfolio, now comprising more than 160 properties. New openings and signings stretch from Asia to Europe, including across destinations as diverse as Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Egypt and Armenia. Highlights include Radisson Hotel Cannes on the French Riviera, Radisson Collection The National Hotel, Brussels, a landmark golf-side retreat, and the debut of Radisson Collection Resort, Galle in Sri Lanka and Radisson Collection Resort & Spa, Jaipur in India. Together, these properties underscore the brand’s commitment to creating standout resort destinations in diverse and inspiring locations. 

APAC continues to propel growth for the Radisson Hotel Group. In China, 130 hotels have been signed and opened in 2025, pushing the pipeline close to 300 hotels. Expansion is strongest in the mid- to upper mid-scale categories, led by Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, now the fastest-growing brand in China with a portfolio of 375 hotels. Major cities such as Wuhan, Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Tianjin, and Shanghai remain central to the Group’s growth plan and expansion strategy, supporting both scale and depth across the market.

India has emerged as one of Radisson Hotel Group’s most dynamic markets, with the company surpassing a historic milestone of 200 hotels. Today, more than 130 properties are in operation and over 70 are under development, reinforcing the Group’s position as the leading organically growing international operator in the country. Fuelled by 59 new signings in just 18 months and expansion into 47 new cities, Radisson Hotel Group is well-positioned to deepen its presence and extend hospitality access with up to 500 hotels in the region by 2030. 

In Africa, the Group is keeping its momentum by combining new market entries with deeper investment in key markets such as Morocco, South Africa, and Nigeria. Recent activity includes its debut in the Democratic Republic of Congo with Radisson Blu Hotel, Kinshasa, and Radisson Hotel Lubumbashi, as well as Radisson Blu Hotel & Apartments, Yaoundé in Cameroon. The Group has also entered Zimbabwe with Radisson Harare and is exploring further opportunities in the Victoria Falls area. Alongside growth targets of 30 hotels in Morocco and 25 in South Africa by 2030. 

“As we look ahead, our goal is clear: delivering meaningful value to our owners, creating memorable experiences for our guests, and driving responsible growth that strengthens communities worldwide,” concluded Younes.
