The Global Refugee-Led Network (GRN), previously known as the Network for Refugee Voices, is an international not for profit organization that organizes advocacy between local and national refugee organizations.[1][2]

Mandate and structure[edit]

The Global Refugee-Led Network work to make sure that United Nations and other global decision makers are well informed by the voices of refugees.[2]

GPN is organized around six global regions: Africa, Middle East and North Africa, South America, North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe.[2] A representative for each of the six regions form a steering committee.[2] According to a report from the European Council on Refugees and Exiles on the status of refugee-led community organisations (RCOs) published in December 2020[3] the majority in the European Union are voluntary grassroots organisations (VGOs).[4]

History[edit]

The Global Refugee-Led Network was previously known as the Network for Refugee Voices.[2]

The Global Refugee-Led Network participated in the first ever United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Global Refugee Forum in 2019.[5][6]

Activities[edit]

The GPN hosts refugee summits to contribute to the UNHCR Global Refugee Forum and collaborates with the UNHCR's Global Youth Advisory Council.[1] GPN was described as "one of the most influential actors" pushing for participation in the Global Refugee Forum by Refugees International in 2019.[1]

In 8 April 2020, the GPN hosted a global conference with over 100 refugee leaders and called for greater inclusion of refugees in policy making.[7][8]
