Protracted refugee situations

Protracted refugee situations occur when a significant number of refugees remain in host countries for five years or more without a durable solution, such as repatriation, local integration, or resettlement. These situations often arise due to ongoing conflict, violence, or instability in their home countries. Refugees in such scenarios may face limited access to basic rights, services, and livelihoods, leading to social and economic challenges. Addressing protracted refugee situations requires coordinated efforts from governments, international organizations, and local communities to find sustainable solutions, support refugees' needs, and promote their self-reliance and dignity.
