Ahead of world’s largest event on refugees - delegates share their expectations

Description

#GRF #GlobalRefugeeForum2023 More than 250 refugees will attend the Global Refugee Forum. Held every four years, the Forum is an opportunity for the international community to come together and take action towards stronger support for refugees. Held every four years, the Global Refugee Forum (GRF) is the largest international conference on refugee issues. The 2023 GRF will take place in Geneva, Switzerland from 13 to 15 December and will seek to focus the international discussion on solutions rather than crises. Co-hosted by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and the Government of Switzerland, the forum has been co-convened by Colombia, France, Japan, Jordan and Uganda. It aims to focus a range of actors on finding solutions to the plight of refugees, and to support the objectives of the Global Compact on Refugees as affirmed by the United Nations General Assembly in December 2018. Participants – including states, the private sector, international financial institutions, UN agencies, humanitarian and development organizations, cities and local authorities, NGOs, refugee-led organizations, faith groups and others – will take stock of the progress made since the first GRF in 2019 and make concrete pledges and contributions to improve the lives of 36.4 million refugees around the world.
