Concept note on UNHCR's global strategy for refugee livelihoods and economic inclusion. The New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants1
and its Global Compact on
Refugees (GCR) including the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework
(CRRF) call for the enhancement of refugee resilience and self-reliance, as well as
the need for and benefit of taking on a whole-of-society approach. Based on the
learning from the roll-out of the CRRF, the development of the GCR, in addition to
experience built internally through the Minimum Criteria for Livelihoods Programming,
this Concept Note provides a framework to UNHCR operations on the approach of
livelihoods and economic inclusion programmes for refugees.
