UNDP UNHCR Partnership on Forced Displacement
June 17, 2021
Bringing together humanitarian, development and peacebuilding initiatives, UNDP and UNHCR have worked together for displaced people and their host communities since the 1960s. UNHCR and UNDP set out a vision of enhanced collaboration in 2017 in the Global Joint-Action Plan. Together, they work to strengthen policy and programmatic coordination at the global, regional and country levels. The Plan covers Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. It focuses on the implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees, the rule of law, local governance, peacebuilding, internal displacement and livelihoods. The Plan also involves a regional dimension, including in and around Syria and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The publication, UNHCR and UNDP: Partnership on Forced Displacement, looks at the history of the collaboration, future plans and the impact of the Global Joint-Action Plan, drawing on experiences from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lebanon, Myanmar, Syria and Turkey.
