UNHCR Coordinates Ukraine Refugee Response in Hungary

WHY IT MATTERS

The forum's coordinated actions will streamline asylum processing for Ukrainian refugees in Hungary, expanding access to legal protection and educational programs, thereby strengthening regional stability and humanitarian response capacity.

What happened

UNHCR, in consultation with the Hungarian government, has taken the lead in the Ukraine Situation Refugee Response Coordination Forum (RCF), a partnership that brings together a broad network of national and international actors to support Ukrainian refugees. The forum focuses on ensuring that all individuals in need of international protection can access territory and fair asylum procedures in line with international law. UNHCR’s work includes advocacy and capacity‑building initiatives aimed at strengthening local systems. In addition, the agency promotes educational inclusion through evidence‑based advocacy and community projects such as the “Back to School” campaign, which seeks to reintegrate displaced children into formal schooling. The fact sheet also references UNHCR’s engagement in Afghanistan, the Russian Federation, Syria, and Ukraine, underscoring the agency’s global reach in refugee protection.
