Toward Equitable and Predictable Responsibility Sharing An Analysis of State Pledges at the Global Refugee Forum

The first-ever Global Refugee Forum (GRF), held December 17 and 18, 2019, was the first major test for the new framework for international cooperation espoused by the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR). InterAction’s analysis of state-level GRF pledges aims to assess whether the international community is on track to achieve the GCR’s goal of more predictable and equitable responsibility-sharing for supporting refugees. The analysis aggregates data from the state-level pledges to draw conclusions about the balance of donor and host-state commitments and contextualizes these findings where possible by comparing them to past contributions.
