The event was attended by senior officials from UNHCR, and Mr. Todt was welcomed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Mr. Antonio Guterres.
The campaign will include a widespread awareness-raising initiative focused on the 9,300 UNHCR collaborators dispatched around the globe, as well as workshops on road safety. Last year, 15 people lost their lives due to road crashes in which the organization's vehicles were involved. During the first year of the campaign, UNHCR will provide additional support to a number of focus countries across the world: Colombia, Republic of Congo, Jordan, Kosovo and Uganda. The Special Envoy will visit Colombia in July and Uganda in August.
