GLOBAL EDUCATION MONITORING REPORT 2017/8
UNHCR’s Public Health Strategy 2021-2025 is based on the lessons learnt, and builds on the achievements, of the Global Strategy for Public Health 2014-2018.

Furthermore, more work is needed on strengthening these systems to be able to meet the needs of both host communities and refugees.
