Introducing the Global Refugee Forum Blog Series

Blog series
Description

As we mark six months since the second Global Refugee Forum (GRF), held in December 2023, InterAction and International Council of Voluntary Agencies (ICVA) members are collaborating on a blog series to reflect on the GRF, highlight commitments, and strengthen transparency on progress since the first GRF in 2019. Over the next several months, the blog series will provide perspective on pledges and highlight where further action is needed.

The GRF 2023 took place in a global context of increased emergencies and a growing number of protracted forced displacement crises. Today, the number of forcibly displaced people in the world has reached an all-time high of 120 million, including internally displaced people. In the shadow of this growing need, the U.N. Refugee Agency (UNHCR) hosted the GRF 2023 to convene stakeholders from governments, civil society, local organisations, donors, and others to begin pledging on solutions.
