PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION – UNDP AND UNHCR COOPERATION ON FORCED DISPLACEMENT AND STATELESSNESS
1. INTRODUCTION
Over 60 years of UNDP-UNHCR partnership has been cemented through the Global Collaboration
Framework for Inclusion and Solutions, 2023–2025 (GCF), but countries and communities are looking for
more support as the impact of forced displacement deepens.
This report presents examples of UNDP-UNHCR collaboration on inclusion and durable solutions for
displacement, from large, multi-year multi-country frameworks to individual countries. The GCF identified
seven areas where working together will have the biggest impact.
