Substantial progress towards self-reliance and inclusion has been achieved in recent years. However, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is threatening to reverse these advances and is amplifying the need for greater solidarity and responsibility-sharing to deliver on the commitments outlined in the Global Compact on Refugees. This paper provides an update on recent advances and challenges to strengthening the self-reliance and inclusion of persons of concern in national services, including in the context of COVID-19. It also discusses the opportunities presented by the pledges made in support of self-reliance and inclusion at the first Global Refugee Forum in December 2019.
