Two years after the Global Refugee Forum, Rwanda shows how inclusive policies in education and livelihoods are unlocking the potential of refugees and their hosts.
The government of Rwanda has made nine pledges covering livelihoods, education, health, energy and environment and protection. Rwanda hosts over 100,000 refugees and has made notable strides towards improving their lives and that of their host communities as it enacts pledges it made at the Global Refugee Forum in 2019. Important strides have been made in the country. But there is more work to be done. With greater support, the objectives of the Global Compact for Refugees can be met.
