Towards Influence - How forcibly displaced and stateless people participated in the Global Refugee Forum Progress Review 2025

This report presents a comprehensive overview of how forcibly displaced and stateless people participated in the GRF Progress Review 2025. It draws primarily on self-reported information from UNHCR, partners, organizations led by forcibly displaced and stateless people, and participants with lived experience of forced displacement and statelessness, capturing several important dimensions of progress. This covers access, representation, visibility, engagement across the GRF cycle, and increasing institutional access points. These are necessary foundations and indicators for meaningful participation, and against which to benchmark and measure the influence on outcomes that people with lived experience and the organizations they lead have in the GCR process.
