The World Health Organization (WHO) is now accepting entries for its fourth call for promising practices aligned with the priorities of the WHO global action plan on promoting the health of refugees and migrants (WHO GAP).

Selected submissions will be featured on the WHO Dashboard on global experiences in promoting refugee and migrant health, a live repository that highlights impactful policies and interventions.  

This call is open to governments as well as non-State actors, including government agencies (e.g., health, migration, education, finance) at national and sub-national levels, civil society organizations or academia, WHO regional and country offices or other UN agencies. 

All submissions must involve collaboration with government authorities.

  • clear implementation strategy – including methodology, target population, and stakeholder involvement;

  • transferability – potential for replication in diverse contexts; and
  • sustainability – ensuring long-term impact and addressing future challenges.

Submissions will be reviewed by the WHO Special Initiative on Health and Migration, in collaboration with the WHO/PAHO Collaborating Centre on Capacity Building for Training and Research in the Health of Migrants and Refugees.
