Pledges and contributions are commitments by States and other stakeholders that advance the objectives of the Global Compact on Refugees to achieve tangible benefits for refugees and host communities.

Multistakeholder pledges are joint pledges with a large-scale reach, working towards an ambitious common goal. They are transformational, putting in place long-term arrangements that advance burden and responsibility sharing, drawing from a clearly defined resource base, donorship, or financial instrument linked to implementation.

In the lead up to the Global Refugee Forum 2023, a number of multistakeholder pledges are under development. All of these pledges are working towards securing one or more of the eight key outcomes for the GRF, which will guide future engagement in comprehensive responses.
