Habitat, UNHCR, UN Women, UNEP, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNODC, WFP and WHO, together

practices, lesson learned and results of monitoring reports regarding efforts to ensure
a resilient response and recovery to the COVID-19 pandemic that is inclusive of refugees and
migrants.

on the long-term benefits of a migrant- and refugee-inclusive approach for
accomplishing states’ Sustainable Development Goals.
