Resettlement is used to assist refugees in countries that cannot provide them with appropriate protection and support. Resettlement arrivals are the total number of refugees reaching their country of resettlement after departing from their former country of asylum. Resettlement is primarily facilitated by UNHCR in most countries around the world, although significant private sponsorship schemes do exist as well.
