- "Organizations led by forcibly displaced and stateless people are more knowledgeable about the needs of their communities and are often the first responders in humanitarian emergencies providing protection and assistance. These organizations are the best creators of solutions because they are part of their communities and know what areas to prioritize. This page serves as a repository of resources, such as training materials, guidance, policies, promising practices, etc. UNHCR aims to make information available to contribute to capacity sharing with organizations led by forcibly displaced and stateless persons."
