PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION – UNDP AND UNHCR COOPERATION ON FORCED DISPLACEMENT AND STATELESSNESS aims to generate includes support from two UNHCR-managed funds, the Environment and Climate Action Innovation Fund and the Refugee Environmental Protection Fund. GRF pledges for refugee situations The second Global Refugee Forum saw multistakeholder pledges made for a number of major refugee situations around the world, including: Afghanistan The multistakeholder pledge for the Afghanistan situation, ReSolve for Resilience and Solutions, brings together country-specific pledges for Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan, with the overarching common aim of enhancing the resilience of Afghans and communities hosting them. In Afghanistan the pledge aims to support returnees, IDPs and host communities through multi-sectoral interventions in education, health, community infrastructure and livelihoods, with a special focus on women and girls. In Iran the pledge aims to help the government maintain its inclusive policies for refugees on education, health and livelihoods. And in Pakistan, the pledge aims to reinvigorate support through existing and new programmes focused on healthcare, education, livelihoods, protection, green energy, and bridging humanitarian and development assistance. The pledge is led by UNHCR and the Core Group of the SSAR Support Platform (Denmark, the European Union, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Netherlands, Qatar, Switzerland, Türkiye, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank and UNDP). Rohingya The Rohingya refugees multistakeholder pledge, Expanded Solutions and Enhanced Resilience, aims to ease pressure on host countries through enhancing resilience and expanding solutions for Rohingya refugees. The pledge considers that a paradigm shift is needed to transform the Rohingya refugee response into comprehensive and coordinated action that can lead to sustainable solutions and resilience. At present, individual countries in the region have been hosting Rohingya refugees, in the absence of a regional response mechanism. Initiatives to create third-country solutions are being developed. And efforts are being made, through interventions to expand access to education, skills development and livelihoods, to support refugee self-reliance, resilience and preparedness for sustainable reintegration where return becomes possible. These initiatives need to be scaled up. The pledge is led by a group of States, supported by UNHCR. It encompasses support for technical, financial, advocacy-based and policy-based initiatives. East Africa The multistakeholder pledge for delivering comprehensive solutions in the IGAD region, Beyond Borders, Beyond Barriers, will support the operationalisation of regional frameworks, agreements and commitments related to comprehensive solutions for refugees, IDPs and returnees. Commitments within this pledge aim to create conducive and enabling environments for comprehensive solutions by supporting IGAD Member States to develop and/or operationalise laws, policies and practices that advance protection, inclusion and solutions for the displaced and host communities. The pledge also includes commitments to mobilise more predictable and sustained financial, political and technical support, and commitments to address state fragility and establish regional peace mechanisms in the IGAD region. The pledge is led by IGAD Member States and Core Group members of the IGAD Support Platform (the EU, Germany, World Bank, Sweden, USA and UNDP), with support from UNHCR.
