PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION – UNDP AND UNHCR COOPERATION ON FORCED DISPLACEMENT AND STATELESSNESS
2. COLLABORATION:
THE GLOBAL PICTURE
Collaboration between UNDP and UNHCR is diverse in type, focus and scale, ranging from collaboration in
regional platforms, through to country-specific projects, joint activities, advocacy coordination mechanisms
with partners, and jointly developed tools. Its covers all of the GCF thematic areas, concentrating on internal
displacement, livelihoods, rule of law and local governance, SDG integration, and conflict prevention and
peacebuilding.
Given the variety of collaborative approaches, no single indicator accurately captures its extent and nature.
Some figures – such as numbers of formal joint projects and UNDP spending on resilience – are indicative
of positive trends and potential, as is the range of countries where the agencies have examples of notable
collaboration.
