We are pleased to invite you to the launch of the report - Responding to forced displacement: Lessons from the International Labour Organization’s engagement in the PROSPECTS programme on 8 July 2025.

After five years of implementation, the PROSPECTS partnership has amassed considerable experience and lessons learned conducting joint programming in forced displacement contexts. This event will present key findings from an in-depth lessons learned exercise conducted by ILO PROSPECTS in Egypt, Ethiopia, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Sudan and Uganda.

The report offers a practical, experience-based reflection on what works in supporting host communities and forcibly displaced persons—spanning employment, education and training, and social protection. It highlights cross-cutting themes such as gender, youth, disability inclusion, and digitization and shares insights into building an integrated response under the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus.

The event will take place in person and will also be broadcasted on ILO Live.

Time: 15:30 to 17:10 CEST

Venue: Salle Cinéma R2 Cine, ILO HQ, 4 Route des Morillons, Geneva
