Event Description

What have we learned about protecting refugee rights in the midst of a global pandemic? Have we lived up to core obligations and commitments, and have we applied lessons from previous crises and epidemics? 

Join UNHCR, the COVID-19 Global Evaluation Coalition and ALNAP for a high-level learning event.

Speakers will include Gillian Triggs, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General and Assistant High Commissioner for Protection at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and Susanna Moorehead, Chair of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC). Co-chairs will be joined by a panel of experts who will share insights and lessons on how to improve protection and respond to COVID-19 while respecting refugee rights and international law. 
 
The discussion will highlight findings, lessons and recommendations from a global evaluation under the auspices of the COVID-19 Global Evaluation Coalition, managed by UNHCR, and the Governments of Finland, Uganda and Colombia and ALNAP. This innovative learning initiative looked at what has worked to protect refugee rights and improve COVID-19 responses, and what the international community and states must do differently going forward.
