Standing together, the CESF Consortium members urge all stakeholders to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Reflect on, engage and act to internalise and implement the Roadmap for Change; exploring its application within organisational missions, strategic planning, activities and monitoring, evaluation and learning processes. Engage with the Roadmap as a tool to inform, shape and guide institutional responses to statelessness and exclusion by promoting and supporting dedicated, intersectional and joined-up action to protect the rights of all vulnerable groups, including stateless people. Use the Roadmap to inform approaches to research, advocacy, activism and engagement on statelessness. Appoint focal points with responsibility and resources to mainstream statelessness, ensuring it is duly considered in all programming, and to collaborate with external partners and stakeholders. Use the Roadmap as a practical tool to analyse gaps and develop inclusive policies and programmes. Ensure a centring of communities and individuals directly affected by statelessness in the conversations, consultations and actions that relate to their interests. As such, take steps to centre stateless activists, communities and NGOs, draw on their expertise and insights, involving them in finding solutions, supporting their independent work and remaining accountable to them at all times. Ensure the change we seek is both meaningful and sustainable, strengthening the right to nationality and rights of stateless people, but also improving the ways we work with each other and are accountable to each other. The old ways are not adequate and we have failed to rise to meet the immense challenges before us. This is therefore 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. The CESF and its learnings have paved the way for a future in which this type of thoughtful and impactful collaboration between donors, global NGOs, regional, national and community groups, will become more common, more long-term and even more effective. Such work can only emerge through a willingness to take risks, an ability to think beyond boxes and a commitment to centre stateless people, as set out in the Roadmap for Change. This future is not inevitable, but it is possible, and we are closer to it because the CESF has demonstrated this possibility in no uncertain terms. Together We Did, and together still, we have a long way to go. 37
