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.","geographic_units":[{"name":"World","code":"WLD"}],"keywords":[{"name":"Forced Displacement"},{"name":"Poverty"},{"name":"Welfare"}],"output":[{"description":"World Bank Reports & Flagships\n","title":"Refugee Welfare Report 2026","type":"Flagship or other report"}],"language":[{"name":"English","code":"EN"}],"disclaimer":"The materials in the reproducibility packages are distributed as they were prepared by the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development\/The World Bank.
