The IFRC joined and helped launch the 
WEF 
Refugee Employment and Employability Initiative 
and actively promoted the role of local actors in 
supporting a holistic approach to labour market 
and socio-economic integration of refugees.
Work continued in 2022 to provide strategic 
coordination and technical support at global 
regional and national levels, including by sup-
porting the Migration Leadership Group, the 
Global Migration Task Force, the Movement 
Reference Group on Internal Displacement, and 
regional migration networks and platforms.
The 2022 Council of Delegates adopted the 
resolution titled Towards a Movement Strategy 
on Migration to develop a Movement Strategy 
on Migration. The resolution was presented at 
the Council of Delegates by the Swedish Red 
Cross, the Australian Red Cross and Maldives 
Red Crescent, the co-chairs of the migration 
leadership group, followed by 25 statements 
from National Societies, the IFRC and ICRC.
Technical support for National Societies during 
this year focused on implementing the IFRC 
Global Migration Strategy, including a focus on 
needs assessments and strategic approaches, 
technical support to establish and implement 
Humanitarian Service Points, and protection and 
livelihoods for migrants and displaced people.
The Global Migration Lab hosted by the 
Australian Red Cross coordinated a collaborative 
research project on migrant trust in human-
itarian action, covering at least 15 National 
Societies in all five regions. The report was jointly 
launched by the IFRC and ICRC in December. 
With the engagement of the Global Migration 
Lab, the IFRC supported the preparation of 20 
migration and displacement situational analyses 
across all regions to support the unified planning 
processes of 20 National Societies.
The Dignified Identities project explored the 
opportunities and risks of digital identities for 
people on the move and has piloted the use of 
digital wallets to store digital health credentials 
for refugee and asylum seeker patients with 
non-communicable diseases in Kenya. A collab-
oration between the Kenya Red Cross and the 
Uganda Red Cross was facilitated as they both 
implement the project, including cross-border 
simulation conducted at the border of the two 
countries where a migrant might be assisted in 
a Humanitarian Service Point as they cross the 
border and receive continuity of care.
