Working together
With a mandate to protect the world's 32.9 million refugees and other persons of concern, asylum seekers and internally displaced persons, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees needs to work with a wide variety of donors and partners to adequately fulfil its role. These range from governments to non-governmental organisations, the private sector, civil society and refugee communities.
UNHCR raises funds through governments, foundations and private donors so that refugees can be assisted immediately with food, shelter and other essentials distributed by the agency's implementing NGO partners. Longer-term solutions also depend on the participation of civil society and refugees themselves.
While UNHCR is directly concerned with the international protection of refugees, its overall mission is to provide operational support and co-ordination to a wide range of private and public actors who work in the interest of refugees. This site provides information on all these partnerships.
