RT @GundiGadesmann: How can ombudsmen help to push for transparency in implementation of EU Recovery Funds? discussion with Rosita Hickey from ⁦@EUombudsman⁩ and ⁦@AlesBellantoni⁩ from ⁦@OECD⁩

The help given to 🇺🇦 Ukrainian refugees should be the benchmark for all refugees, regardless of where they come from.

Local authorities have been at the forefront - along with civil society and volunteers - in welcoming refugees and making the rights in the EU temporary directive come alive.

Problems noted by Ombudsmen include:

- a lack of psychologists
- the risk of human trafficking
- ensuring the rights of non-Ukrainians fleeing 🇺🇦

Ombudsmen described their work at the borders with 🇺🇦 and the specific needs of women and children who have been traumatised by what they have witnessed or been subjected to.

The European Network of Ombudsmen can help ensure that Ukrainian refugees get access to the rights - accommodation, education, social welfare - they are entitled to.

Commissioner Denisova’s account underlined how important it is for ombudsmen to challenge democratic erosion at every turn. Unchecked small transgressions can evolve into bigger ones.

We were honoured that Ukrainian Human Rights Commissioner Denisova spoke at our annual conference to give an account of war crimes being committed in 🇺🇦 and how best to help refugees.

The task of public administrations is to help people. We have fight for this mindset every day - Ülle Madise, Estonian Ombudsman

It is not just older people who are marginalised by digitalisation. There are many young people who don’t have the required digital skills - Thomas Lecourt from @EmmausConnect

To design digital tools that are usable, developers have to be trained internally, and the institution needs to build internal skills to maintain them, says @marineboudeau from @design_gouv / @_dinum

Clarity in digital world is important – administrations need to tell people how and when to use the tools, and be able to troubleshoot problems, when they occur - Reinier van Zutphen, @nat_ombudsman
