This webpage contains relevant resources for the PROSPECTS project, aiming to shift the paradigm from a humanitarian to a development approach in responding to forced displacement crises.

The Partnership is the concrete expression of the consensus that has emerged around the need for displaced persons and host communities to enjoy enhanced economic opportunities and for children on the move to have effective and inclusive access to protection and education (New York Declaration, 2016).

Benefiting from a four-year time horizon (2019–2023) and financially supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, the Partners will join efforts to develop a new paradigm in responding to forced displacement crises, particularly through the involvement of development actors. The Partnership hopes to transform the way governments and other stakeholders, including the social partners and the private sector, respond to forced displacement crises, by:

• fostering an enabling environment for socio-economic inclusion;
• improving access to education and protection for vulnerable children on the move; and
• strengthening the resilience of host communities.

The Partnership will also be grounded in results-based and country-led approaches. It aims to develop and implement tailored evidence-based solutions, as well as to test and learn from innovative operational solutions.
