The co-designed model developed through the CESF allowed for locally responsive programmes to be developed within a broader framework of trust and practical support through peer learning and collaborative action. One of the lessons generated by the work of CESF members on the ground, across an array of contexts, is the role of trust as an integral component of meaningful inclusion and how trust can be built. It showed how stepping up support for locally designed and driven, but internationally connected initiatives that place the real needs and priorities of stateless people at the centre, will be key to Building Back Better. Another key element of the Consortium approach has been the centring of stateless people, not as platitude or in a formulaic way, but as an integral component of the modus operandi within the CESF. Moreover, the structural-humanitarian coordinated approach allowed for practical responses to urgent need while providing a solid basis for evidenced-based advocacy initiatives built on first-hand knowledge and understanding which strengthened the impact of engagement with decision-makers and stakeholders for change. The approach taken and model adopted, with sustainable resourcing, can shape longer-term and scaled up activities towards making an even greater impact. The report closes by discussing the replicability of the CESF Consortium and ways in which it can be built on and expanded. It presents the priority issue areas identified by CESF members for further and future work, while also discussing some of the challenges ahead. The lack of mainstream recognition of the benefit of supporting the statelessness field in general and stateless led organisations/ stateless individuals in particular, and the absence of dedicated avenues to enable donors to meaningfully contribute to the work of stateless led and community groups, is of significant concern. Promoting the right to nationality, protecting the rights of stateless people and addressing the root causes of statelessness in a sustainable and impactful way over the long-term, will only be possible with the strategic and long-term support and solidarity of the donor community. Looking ahead, beyond the pandemic, the Roadmap for Change that the CESF has generated can be both a guidepost and a call to action for governments, UN agencies, NGOs, donors, affected communities and others to find new ways of working together in more equal and meaningful partnership. 6
