Global Framework for Refugee Education
See the Global Framework for Refugee Education, produced by over 50 education co-sponsors for the Forum for inspirational ways your organisation can make commitments and engage with your government to make strong pledges on education. 

The first Global Refugee Forum (GRF), which will take place on 17 and 18 December 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland (see the full programme, and our own list of education events), will focus on the following areas: arrangements for burden and responsibility-sharing, education, jobs and livelihoods, energy and infrastructure, solutions, and protection capacity.

The four key objectives of the GRF are to a) ease pressures on host countries; b) enhance refugee self-reliance; c) expand access to third-country solutions; and d) support conditions in countries of origin for return in safety and dignity.

The Global Refugee Forum, convened at the ministerial level, is a unique occasion for UN Member States and other stakeholders to:

  • Deliver concrete pledges and contributions that will advance the objectives of the Global Compact on Refugees and achieve tangible benefits for refugees and host communities. Contributions may take the form of financial, material, and technical assistance; resettlement places and complementary pathways for admission to third countries; as well as other actions that States have elected to take at the national level. Contributions can be made either individually or jointly with other actors.
  • Highlight key achievements and exchange good practices, both with respect to specific country or regional situations, as well as on a global level. The exchange of innovative, action-oriented, and sustainable good practices will support the international community in developing forward-looking and impactful contributions that will transform the lives of refugees and their host communities.
