The Blueprint Initiative represented a renewed commitment by UNHCR and UNICEF to accelerate joint efforts to promote and protect the rights of refugee children and the communities that host them, and to support their inclusion and access to nationally led services. It was operationalized through an intensive, time-bound partnership from 2020 to 2022 in a group of focus countries, with regional offices/bureaux and at global level, to leverage existing mandates, capacities and comparative advantages of UNHCR and UNICEF and build on areas of ongoing work with the greatest potential. Overall, it aimed to realize and demonstrate both amplified programmatic results in three key areas of education, child protection and WASH, and the effectiveness and efficiency of a transformed partnership4. Learning from the Blueprint was intended to inform the development and implementation of a new UNHCR-UNICEF global partnership agreement in 2023.
