Refugees &
displaced people

People carry skills, aspirations and knowledge across displacement. The response should build on that potential.

Context

Understand
people’s priorities.

Refugees and displaced people face barriers to services, economic opportunities and participation. Their needs differ, and their existing skills and priorities should guide any response. Host communities are part of this conversation, too.
