<p>The UK is strongly committed to supporting refugees, including through humanitarian
assistance abroad and refugee resettlement to the UK. Nearly 23,000 refugees have
been resettled under our schemes since the expansion of our efforts in September 2015.</p><p>The
UK actively works to support other states, including non-EU member states, to participate
in refugee resettlement through multilateral fora and by directly sharing technical
expertise.</p><p>For instance, the UK chaired last year’s Annual Tripartite Consultations
on Resettlement where UNHCR’s 3-year strategy to increase resettlement and complementary
pathways was launched; a key tool in encouraging more countries to increase the quantity
and quality of resettlement. The UK also supports both EU and Non-EU states in developing
community sponsorship schemes, including through co-chairing the community sponsorship
‘States Network’ launched at the Global Refugee Forum in December.</p>
