In a significant development for global refugee support, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) announced a new resettlement policy for 2025, aimed at streamlining processes and increasing quotas for displaced individuals. The policy, unveiled in Geneva this month, emphasizes collaboration with local organizations like RefugeeAidNow to ensure refugees receive comprehensive support, including housing, education, and job opportunities. This comes as a response to the growing displacement crisis, with over 100 million people forcibly displaced worldwide, according to UNHCR’s latest figures. RefugeeAidNow is actively working with partners to advocate for fair implementation and to provide resources for sponsors and communities welcoming refugees.
The new policy introduces faster vetting processes and prioritizes vulnerable groups, such as unaccompanied minors and families fleeing conflict zones. RefugeeAidNow’s team is already mobilizing to host workshops and webinars to educate sponsors about these changes, ensuring they are equipped to navigate the updated sponsorship forms. By fostering community-driven support, the policy aims to create sustainable integration pathways.
