Solutions
One of UNHCR’s core responsibilities is to enable
and support comprehensive and durable solutions
for refugees and IDPs to allow them to rebuild their
lives and live in dignity and safety.
These solutions require collective commitment to
resolving the protection needs of refugees and other
displaced people through a range of options and
opportunities. The Comprehensive Refugee
Response Framework reflects UNHCR’s vision to
work with a wide range of partners to build resilience
and find solutions. 32 Relevant partners include not
just governments, refugees, and other UN agencies
but also the private sector, international financial
institutions, and civil society, including think tanks,
academia, and faith leaders. The Framework’s aims
are to build the self-reliance of refugees, expand
access to resettlement in third countries and other
complementary pathways, and foster conditions that

enable refugees to return voluntarily to their home
countries.
In the aftermath of internal displacement crises, as
humanitarian actors progressively phase out their
roles, development actors as well as peace and
security actors will become increasingly important
to address root causes and further solutions.
UNHCR has a responsibility for leading
international coordination of protection for IDPs
under the cluster system, including ensuring that
IDPs can access a safe, voluntary, and dignified
solution to displacement. 33
