This report provides an in-depth assessment of refugee well-being, drawing on recent microdata available on forcibly displaced populations and establishing a foundation for future monitoring. In addition to comparing refugee poverty with that of host communities, it demonstrates how inclusive policies and programs can promote socioeconomic inclusion and improve refugee welfare. The report concludes with a call to action, advocating for a shift in the current response model and presenting concrete recommendations to translate strategic vision into effective implementation.
