Building a platform for the world's largest international gathering on refugees
The Global Refugee Forum

The Global Refugee Forum is the world’s largest international gathering on refugees, taking place every four years. From 13 to 15 December 2023, the Forum was co-convened by five States – Colombia, France, Japan, Jordan and Uganda, and co-hosted by the Government of Switzerland and UNHCR.

MCI Switzerland and Dorier collaborated in the organisation of the 2023 edition and the Nansen Awards, an annual event celebrating individuals, groups and organisations who go the extra mile to protect refugees, as well as internally displaced and stateless people.

These results provide hope for the over 36 million refugees who have been forced to leave their homes worldwide.
