2023 UNHCR Regional Consultations with NGOs
2023 UNHCR Regional Consultations with NGOs
We hold Global Consultations with NGOs every two years (since 2021), alternating with Regional Consultations in the seven regions.
In 2023, the main theme for the Regional Consultations is Solutions with a focus on Inclusion and Gender Equality. For more information, please consult the concept note.
The outcomes and recommendations of the Regional consultations will be presented at the seventy-fourth session of the Executive Committee of the High Commissioner’s Programme (ExCom) from 9 to 13 October 2023. They will also feed into the 2024 Global Consultations, focusing on the same theme.
For further information about the Consultations in each region, please visit this page regularly.
