Making a difference, together.

Providing multi-year and highly flexible funding, Norway enables UNHCR to plan effectively and respond where the needs are greatest.

Norway is a true partner of UNHCR. As one of the largest governmental donors providing multi-year and highly flexible funding, Norway enables UNHCR to plan effectively and respond where the needs are greatest. It’s a partnership steeped in history, from Fridtjof Nansen’s work as a High Commissioner for Refugees in 1921, to their joining of the Executive Committee of UNHCR in 1955. Norway and UNHCR share common values and priorities, focusing on issues such as equal protection for both men and women, comprehensive approaches and improving assistance through innovation. Norway uses an innovative approach which resettles refugees to different locations based on their education and skills, resulting in better integration into new communities.

Norway’s contributions makes a significant impact around the world. Much of Norway’s financial support is unearmarked funding, which provides UNHCR with critical flexibility meaning it can respond quickly to emergencies and continue to support people in protracted or forgotten crises which are no longer in the public eye. Norway supports comprehensive approaches by assisting host communities, an approach that is at the heart of the Global Compact for Refugees. At the Global Refugee Forum in December 2019, Norway co-sponsored the themes of Education, Energy and Solutions, showing their commitment to  bringing countries and organizations together and advancing the objectives of the Global Compact on Refugees. Furthermore, specific Norwegian innovation grants are enabling UNHCR to reduce its environmental footprint and adopt new approaches within refugee communities and camps.

Norway’s dedication to the Grand Bargain commitments, which include a series of changes in the working practices of donors and aid organizations, as well as their prioritization of the UN Reform, illustrates their focus on efficiency and integrity, two important pillars of UNHCR’s work. Finally, Norway’s support to the resettlement programme allows UNHCR to maintain its capacity to provide long-term solutions to the most vulnerable refugees by giving them a chance at a new life in a place of safety and security.

One of the most pressing challenges relating to the refugee situation in Sudan is the environmental impact of an increased population size in hosting communities.

To address this problem, UNHCR partnered with Land Life Company to develop reforestation technologies and train refugees to boost the survival of young trees and reduce water usage and reforestation costs. This project was supported by the Government of Norway through Innovation Norway, helping UNHCR to implement this technology across nine refugee camps in White Nile State from 2019 to 2021.

After fleeing Syria in 2013, Anas found shelter at Zaatari camp in Jordan, and is now settled in Amman, Jordan where he works as a butcher.

Anas is one of many refugees who have been granted work permits by the Jordanian Government. With support by generous donors including Norway, UNHCR helps prospective employers in Jordan identify Syrian refugees with skills matching job vacancies, and organizes job fairs aimed at improving the economic security and stability of refugees.

At the Jugudi Primary School in the Nyarugusu Refugee Camp in Tanzania, resources are scarce.

With 1,300 children and very few textbooks, the 31 teachers in the school find their work very demanding. Quality education is an anchor that ensures children continue to develop and can plan for a better future. In 2019 Norway co-sponsored the theme of Education at the Global Refugee Forum.

In 2018, Dr. Evan Atar Adaha was awarded the UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award,

for his outstanding achievements in securing medical services to more than 200,000 people in north-eastern South Sudan. The Government of Norway is a long-standing partner of the Nansen Refugee Award, through which UNHCR can celebrate and share incredible stories of heroes supporting displaced people.

Zain Al Raffeaa and his family were forced to abandon their home in Daraa, Syria in 2013, fleeing to Lebanon.

They were chosen to be resettled to Norway as part of the country’s support to UNHCR’s resettlement programme, enabling young boys like Zain to have a fresh start in a new country.
