To mark Refugee Week, we highlighting the transformational impact that refugee leadership and expertise can bring to refugee responses.
The importance of refugee leadership is now widely recognised. It is a key focus of the Global Compact on Refugees, which pledges to support refugee-led organisations (RLOs) and enable meaningful participation.
But is this rhetoric materialising into practical action on the ground? Is refugee leadership taken seriously at an international level? Why is there a gap between theoretical pledges and tangible support? And what needs to happen now to strengthen refugee leadership and drive meaningful change?
Experts from some of the world’s leading refugee-led organisations discuss the opportunities and challenges they face.
