UNHCR (2018)

This policy reaffirms UNHCR’s commitment to prioritising individuals through an age, gender, and diversity (AGD) approach, ensuring equal rights and meaningful participation for persons of concern. Aligned with existing commitments to AGD, Accountability to Affected People (AAP), and women and girls, the policy supports UNHCR’s Strategic Directions 2017-2021, emphasising the diverse experiences of displaced individuals. It mandates compliance across all operations, recognizing the nuanced impact of forced displacement based on age, gender, and diversity. The policy acknowledges progress in AGD, gender equality, and AAP, aiming to strengthen these aspects in UNHCR’s operations.
