What we have learned and what it takes

Highlights

Between 2020 and 2022, UNICEF and UNHCR implemented a bold new joint approach to refugee inclusion in 10 countries.

Inspired by this experience, in February 2023, UNICEF and UNHCR signed a new Strategic Collaboration Framework that sets out our common vision of a world where all children, including refugee and stateless children, are protected, included and able to learn and thrive.

This paper sets out what we learned about refugee inclusion, what we achieved, and what’s next.
