UNDP will expand its support to host countries & those welcoming returnees to ease pressure & protect development gains

Leveraging UNDP's extensive country presence and development expertise, we will strengthen the capacities of national and local institutions and actors, promote investments in local economies, infrastructure, justice and service delivery systems that benefit both host communities and refugees, and enhance social cohesion.

In close collaboration with UNHCR and other relevant partners, UNDP will:

• Strengthen national/local capacities for coordination and management, service delivery, livelihoods and job creation, access to justice and social cohesion.

• Promote increased access to development financing for host countries, including through Integrated National Financing Frameworks.

• Address the drivers of forced displacement and expand work in peacebuilding, including conflict, violence and aggravating effects of climate change.

By 2027, UNDP will mobilize additional funding to support more than 30 countries impacted by forced displacement.
