ACSG Matches and Asylum Pledge Implementation

To help work towards the goals of the Global Compact on Refugees, 50 States pledged to improve aspects of their national asylum systems or provide asylum capacity support at or after the 2019 Global Refugee Forum. An additional 11 pledges were made by other stakeholders.

These pledges became the starting point for ACSG in relation to (1) matching, in which pledges or commitments to strengthen asylum capacity are paired with pledges of technical, material, or financial support offers; and (2) tracking asylum pledge implementation, where a State or other entity fulfils their pledge through provision of support without a corresponding pledge.

This page will be updated with information regarding ACSG matches and pledges as well as asylum capacity support provided as part of pledge implementation.

For information about other pledges made at the Global Refugee Forum, please see the Pledge and Contributions Dashboard
