DESCRIPTION:2018 UNHCR Annual Consultations with NGOs\n\nBackground:\n\nAt
  a critical juncture in forced displacement trends\, UNHCR highlighted in 
 its Strategic Directions for 2017-2021 the priority of “putting people
  first” to ensure refugees\, the internally displaced\, and stateless pe
 ople can “find protection from harm\; live peacefully\; learn\, work and
  flourish as contributing members of the communities where they live\; and
  find longer term solutions that enable them to build a secure future”. 
 \n\nThe 2018 UNHCR Annual Consultations with Non-Governmental Organization
 s will aim to collectively contribute to “putting people first” by loo
 king at how UNHCR and NGOs can best work in partnership to achieve this ma
 jor objective. In this perspective\, the Annual Consultations will take st
 ock of the CRRF roll-out and draw lessons from this experience for improve
 d comprehensive\, predictable and inclusive refugee response\; use a  mor
