Labour Pathways for
Refugee Solutions:
Guiding Principles and Recommended Attributes
2024 Report Launch
Talent Beyond Boundaries collaborated with our partners on the Global Task Force on Refugee Labour Mobility and the Refugee Advisory Group and consulted a wide range of stakeholders to develop these guiding principles for our work. These principles provide consistent parameters for our enablers and serve as effective advocacy.
These principles demonstrate that efforts to find safe and durable solutions for displaced persons through their talents are both pragmatic and principled.
About the Global Taskforce on Refugee Labour Mobility
In response to the global refugee crisis, United Nations (UN) member states adopted the Global Compact on Refugees in 2018. One of the compact’s key objectives is to expand refugee access to third-country solutions.
To help spur innovation and growth, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and a coalition of partners launched a three-year strategy on resettlement and complementary pathways. The strategy recommended creating task forces for each complementary pathway, including one for refugee labour mobility.
Labour complementary pathways create other ways for refugees to find durable solutions in third countries, outside of traditional resettlement programs
