Introduction

Large mixed migration movements continue to top the global political agenda, as reflected in the 2016 UN New York Declaration. These movements create considerable challenges for countries of first asylum, transit and destination, as well as countries of origin, impacting socio-economic environments, particularly labour markets of host countries.

The majority of refugee populations are hosted by low- and middle-income countries. As displacement has become increasingly protracted, responses are becoming more focused on durable solutions to support dignified, inclusive and comprehensive programmes for refugees and the communities that host them.

In this context, the Government of the Netherlands launched the PROSPECTS Partnership Programme in 2018 to develop a new paradigm in responding to forced displacement crises, aiming to enhance socio-economic inclusion of forcibly displaced persons, access to education for vulnerable children, and resilience of host communities.
