N2 - With refugee situations increasing in scope, scale and complexity, there has been a renewed emphasis on resettlement as a durable solution and an international responsibility sharing mechanism. The Global Compact on Refugees sets out amongst its objectives the expansion of third-country solutions, including the development of community-based sponsoring programmes allowing members of civil society to engage with the resettlement of refugees directly. However, the decision to implement and operate resettlement opportunities lies with individual states so resettlement policy and practices vary enormously from country to country. Based on a systematic literature review undertaken in three phases between November 2020 and February 2021, this report presents the state of knowledge on refugee resettlement looking at six main aspects: refugees’ selection and placement, family reunification, early and longer-term integration, NGOs and volunteers, and monitoring and evaluation. The comparison and analysis of the ways in which different resettlement and sponsorship schemes operate and shape refugee outcomes provide learning and development opportunities for the future of these schemes.
