In 2023, RRP partners will focus on protection. Partners will implement activities to ensure that refugees and host communities live in safe environments, reducing the threats they face, minimizing their exposure to them and increasing their capacity to cope. RRP partners will concentrate on vulnerable people, including marginalized population groups within the refugee community, to address specific rights, needs and disabilities.
The 2023 RRPs will also continue to integrate and respond to socioeconomic needs that have been caused or exacerbated by conflict, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and the rising cost of living, namely for situations where underlying vulnerabilities were already pervasive.
Programming is made through an integrated age, gender and diversity mainstreaming approach. A greater understanding of the dynamics of climate change on displacement will help partners to upscale interventions aimed at reducing the impact and help governments to protect displaced people who are exposed to climate-induced disasters and promote environmental sustainability. Measures to prevent, mitigate and respond to the risks of sexual exploitation and abuse as well as sexual harassment will be prioritized and integrated in all sector programmes, in line with inter-agency commitments. While in-kind assistance will continue where appropriate, cash assistance will be a priority modality across various sectors, allowing refugees to choose how to meet their own needs. Maintaining social cohesion remains an essential part of each regional response.
