The Global Compact on Refugees is a framework for more predictable and equitable responsibility-sharing, recognizing that a sustainable solution to refugee situations cannot be achieved without international cooperation. It provides a blueprint for governments, international organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure that host communities get the support they need and that refugees can lead productive lives. It constitutes a unique opportunity to transform the way the world responds to refugee situations, benefiting both refugees and the communities that host them.

The Ghana Refugee Board, in collaboration with the Ghana Immigration Service and UNHCR, is calling on all Ivorians who have duly registered and have been cleared by DAARA to make themselves available to go through their indefinite residency permit application.









 

As a signatory to the UN 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and the OAU 1969 Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, Ghana remains committed to providing international protection to persons fleeing persecution and generalised violence. Services provided for refugees and asylum seekers in Ghana are merged with the National systems. This ensures that refugees receive social and other services at the same levels available to Ghanaian nationals. For instance, refugees attend the same schools and access the same health facilities as Ghanaians, having been enrolled on the National Health Insurance Scheme.
