APPEAL2024

The High Commissioner for Refugees is mandated by the United Nations to lead and coordinate international action for the worldwide protection of refugees and the resolution of refugee problems. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. In its efforts to achieve this objective, the Office strives to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another State, and to return home voluntarily. By assisting refugees to return to their own country or to settle permanently in another country, UNHCR also seeks lasting solutions to their plight. UNHCR’s Executive Committee and the UN General Assembly have authorized involvement with other groups. These include former refugees who have returned to their homeland, internally displaced people, and persons who are stateless or whose nationality is disputed. The Office seeks to reduce situations of forced displacement by encouraging States and other institutions to create conditions which are conducive to the protection of human rights and the peaceful resolution of disputes. In all of its activities, it pays particular attention to the needs of children and seeks to promote the equal rights of women and girls. The Office carries out its work in collaboration with many partners, including governments, regional organizations, and international and non-governmental organizations. It is committed to the principle of participation, believing that refugees and others who benefit from the Office’s activities should be consulted over decisions which affect their lives.2 UNHCR GLOBAL APPEAL 2024 CONTENTS OVERVIEW 4 Foreword by the High Commissioner 6 Population planning figures for 2024 8 UNHCR’s 2024 financial requirements 34 The Global Compact on Refugees in 2024 REGIONAL SUMMARIES 36 East and Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes 38 Southern Africa 40 West and Central Africa 42 The Americas 44 Asia and the Pacific 46 Europe 48 Middle East and North Africa OUTCOME AREAS AND FOCUS AREAS 50 Focus Area Internal displacement 53 Outcome Area 1 Access to territory, registration and documentation 56 Outcome Area 2 Refugee status determination 59 Outcome Area 3 Protection policy and law

OVERVIEW I FOREWORD BY HIGH COMMISSIONER FILIPPO GRANDI High Commissioner Filippo Grandi meets a group of young Sudanese refugees at the Wedwil refugee settlement in Aweil, South Sudan. Mostly university students, their studies were interrupted after they fled the conflict in Sudan. This Global Appeal aims to tell you what we foresee in 2024 and what we plan to do, and how you can help us to help millions of forcibly displaced and stateless people. When people are forced to flee from their homes through no fault of their own, they should be able to continue living in dignity and safety in a new place, and to go home as soon as it is safe to do so. However, the system is under pressure like never before. 2023 has brought a devastating new conflict in Sudan, continued misery in Ukraine, a string of coups in the Sahel region, more violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, displacement in Myanmar, and a renewed conflict in Gaza that has raised risks across the region. Regrettably, more emergencies cannot be ruled out in 2024, and UNHCR will respond rapidly with © UNHCR/Charlotte Hallqvist High Commissioner’s foreword life-saving assistance and protection for those who are displaced. It means more than giving them help, but also working to empower them to make their own decisions and enable them to contribute to their societies. To this end, we will also work to further the trend towards inclusion of refugees, along with greater international support for host countries. It also means working to ensure refugees have access to education and avenues to employment, and we will continue to step up efforts to find

societies. To this end, we will also work to further the trend towards inclusion of refugees, along with greater international support for host countries. It also means working to ensure refugees have access to education and avenues to employment, and we will continue to step up efforts to find solutions to their plight. This takes cooperation and we are encouraged by the launch of a new solutions platform for the displacement caused by violence in the Central African Republic, and a new Global Alliance to End Statelessness, amongst other critical initiatives.

We are also encouraged by the increasing involvement of development actors, who have brought a vast amount of new funding to supportUNHCR GLOBAL APPEAL 2024 5 OVERVIEW I FOREWORD BY HIGH COMMISSIONER FILIPPO GRANDI States hosting refugees. The growing interest in connections between forced displacement and the climate crisis has also been critical to strengthen resilience and to find solutions for both the host communities and those displaced and living in climate-vulnerable locations. We are keen to keep forging links between humanitarian, development and peacebuilding work, and are working closely with many partners, especially the International Organization for Migration, to foster a “panoramic” mindset when it comes to mixed flows of refugees and migrants through the Darién jungle or the Sahara, and across the Bay of Bengal, the Mediterranean or elsewhere. In an ideal world, many things could take a rapid turn for the better. States could stop wars and efforts could go into maximizing the dividends of peace rather than simply mitigating people’s suffering. But the reality is that forced displacement will continue and there remains a need for UNHCR and our partners. This vital work would be impossible without the generosity of our donors, and without the solidarity of those States doing so much to host and include forcibly displaced and stateless populations. Funding is indeed generous, but not growing fast enough to keep pace with the needs, and money is increasingly being earmarked for specific causes.

generosity of our donors, and without the solidarity of those States doing so much to host and include forcibly displaced and stateless populations. Funding is indeed generous, but not growing fast enough to keep pace with the needs, and money is increasingly being earmarked for specific causes. The result is a widening funding gap, especially in terms of support for many of the most desperate and vulnerable people worldwide. UNHCR is prioritizing every day to make the most of the available funding, rationalizing its expenditure where possible and realigning staffing structures globally, reducing the number of posts to maintain focus on delivery. But when UNHCR operations are underfunded, there is often nobody else to fill the gap. People fleeing from violence are exposed to a panoply of risks and dangers, as well as uncertainty about their futures. We want to help 24,000 Burundian refugees who want to go home, for example, but a lack of funds has so far made this impossible. Must they really wait, and how long does the world expect them to do so? To fulfil our mandate, and to make the system work, we need more help. We need your help. Please read our Appeal to find out more. – High Commissioner Filippo Grandi6 UNHCR GLOBAL APPEAL 2024 OVERVIEW I POPULATION PLANNING FIGURES /two.tnum/zero.tnum/two.tnum/four.tnum GLOBAL POPULATION PLANNING FIGURES/uni00B9 18% 9% 10% 19% 19% 12% /two.tnum/zero.tnum/two.tnum/four.tnum POPULATION PLANNING FIGURES /one.tnum/three.tnum/zero.tnum./eight.tnum MILLION

8 UNHCR GLOBAL APPEAL 2024

UNHCR's 2024 financial requirements As we step into 2024, the need to invest in UNHCR’s work has never been more urgent, with budgeted needs of $10.622 billion for the year. In a world marked by unprecedented challenges and complexities, the plight of refugees stands as a stark reminder of our collective responsibility towards our fellow human beings. This Global Appeal is a call to act with the essence of humanity – to protect, respond, empower, include, and seek solutions for forcibly displaced and stateless people. Beyond this chapter, in the pages of this Global Appeal, you will find more about how we plan to assist people in 2024. The activities described underscore the transformative power of collective action. But collective action requires support and resourcing. By investing in UNHCR’s work, you are not merely addressing the needs of forcibly displaced and stateless people and showing solidarity with the States and communities that host them; you are shaping a world where compassion, solidarity and empathy supplant desperation and iniquity. Together, let us pave the way for a future where no one is left behind, and every refugee has the opportunity to rebuild their life with dignity and purpose. – High Commissioner Filippo Grandi 45% Estimated funds available $6.019 billion projected funding gap T o t a l $4, 136, 000, 286 T ight ly earm a rke d $845, 337, 227 E a rm a rke d $2, 000, 708, 548 S o ft ly earm a rke d $715, 245, 321 U ne a rm a rked $574, 709, 189 14% 19% 7 %5% 55% $4.910 bi llion Estimated funds available P rivate donors $502.3 million Governments and the European Union $3.477 billion

UNHCR GLOBAL APPEAL 2024 9

As of 31 October, UNHCR’s 2023 global budget stood at $10.929 billion1. This represented the budget that was approved by UNHCR’s Executive Committee in October 2022, as well as supplementary increases due to additional unforeseen needs in Ukraine, from the Pakistan floods, the earthquake in Türkiye and the Syrian Arab Republic, the influx of Somalis into Ethiopia, and the situation in Sudan which also affected six neighbouring countries. Against this budget, estimated funds available to UNHCR stood at $4.910 billion, or 45%. Compared to the same period in 2022, the level of available funds is lower by $510 million. This time last year,

six neighbouring countries. Against this budget, estimated funds available to UNHCR stood at $4.910 billion, or 45%. Compared to the same period in 2022, the level of available funds is lower by $510 million. This time last year, UNHCR was 51% funded, with $5.42 billion estimated funds available. In a similar trend, the level of fresh voluntary contributions, excluding carryover and secondary income, decreased by $1.151 billion compared to the same period last year: $548 million from public sources and $603 million from the private sector. UNHCR is not the only humanitarian agency facing such concerns. As of the end of September, the plans in the Global Humanitarian Overview were only 32% funded, and funding reported until the end of September was 37% lower than the same period last year. This very much signals that the whole humanitarian financing system is under stress and requires international humanitarian agencies to optimize the use of funds, prioritizing rigorously and seeking efficiencies where possible. 1 Unless otherwise stated, 2023 current budget figures are from the approved “Programme budget for 2024 of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees”, document A/AC.96/74/5 . Amidst the notable decrease of $1.151 billion in fresh contributions between 2022 and 2023 during the same reporting period, a contraction in funding is evident across all levels of earmarking. Proportionately, there has been a shift in the allocation of funds: flexible funding (comprising softly earmarked and unearmarked funds) has decreased from 39% to 31%, while earmarked and tightly earmarked funding has increased from 61% to 69%. The overall reduction in funds, along with a diminished proportion of flexible funding, has necessitated continuous adjustments and reprioritization of operations to manage the constrained and more rigid financial environment.

tightly earmarked funding has increased from 61% to 69%. The overall reduction in funds, along with a diminished proportion of flexible funding, has necessitated continuous adjustments and reprioritization of operations to manage the constrained and more rigid financial environment. UNHCR had, however, given evident trends in humanitarian financing and based upon communications with key partners, already planned in late 2022 for decreased expenditures in 2023 and reprioritized accordingly. Moreover, given indications from donors that 2023’s challenging funding environment is likely to extend into 2024, and in order to try to preserve as much operational delivery as possible, UNHCR has taken steps to make an even more robust effort towards realignment and rationalization, key parts of the transformation agenda launched in 2017. In addition to launching the latest phase of the transformation process in 2023, UNHCR is critically examining its own structures and workforce to ensure the most efficient use of the resources available.

The cornerstone of UNHCR's mission is the protection of these individuals, ensuring their safety and well-being. Investing in UNHCR’s protection efforts helps to uphold their fundamental rights. The budget for Impact Area 1 amounts to $2.589 billion, or 24% of the total 2024 budget, a decrease of $65.1 million, or 2% compared to the 2023 current budget. The largest regional decrease ($117.7 million) is in Europe, driven by projected adjustments in the response to the situation in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. Core to UNHCR’s mandate are its efforts to galvanize others to build favourable protection environments for forcibly displaced and stateless people. UNHCR will continue to advocate for people’s rights, strengthen protection by improving legal frameworks and access to documentation, territory and asylum, and address protection risks. In addition, UNHCR will further promote legal safeguards to help prevent and resolve cases of statelessness. It will establish communication channels with and for displaced communities, support civil society and assist governments in strengthening their national protection systems.

responses. UNHCR stands at the forefront, delivering life-saving protection and assistance to millions of forcibly displaced and stateless people in situations that make them vulnerable when they need to be resilient and self-reliant. This requires – at a minimum – a sustainable physical and social environment with food, housing, water, sanitation, education, energy, health care and the potential to earn a livelihood. UNHCR prepares, plans and delivers life-saving protection and assistance to millions of people. Support in this endeavour is not just about meeting immediate needs; it is about sowing the seeds of resilience, enabling people to reclaim control over their lives and destinies when decades of unresolved conflicts have only increased the need for assistance, and the needs have grown further due to new crises such as those in S
