According to the latest figures captured in the UNHCR Global Trends in Forced Displacement report, 82.4 million people were forcibly displaced as of the end of 2020. This staggering figure is made even more surprising by the fact that 86% of these individuals are hosted by developing countries.
The OSUN Hubs for Connected Learning Initiatives welcomes OSUN members to a panel discussion that grapples with a number of the June 2021 report’s findings. Speakers will give an overview of the report, including new areas and people of concern, the current global problems faced by refugees, displaced people and hosting countries, and will then focus on the challenges ahead, including donor fatigue.

Edgar Scrase, Senior Statistics and Data Analysis, UNHCR
Wyclife Otieno Barasa, Managing Director, Resilience Action International (Refugee-Led Organization)
Alebachew Kemisso, Assistant Professor and Director for Center for Comparative Education and Policy Studies (CCEPS) at Addis Ababa University (AAU), Ethiopia
