The New York Declaration laid out a vision for a more predictable and more comprehensive response to these crises, known as the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework, or CRRF. It calls for greater support to refugees and the countries that host them.

The framework presents a comprehensive response designed to ensure rapid and well-supported reception and admission measures; support for immediate and ongoing needs (e.g. protection, health, education); assistance to national/local institutions and communities receiving refugees; investment in the resilience capacities of refugees and local communities (livelihoods); and, expanded opportunities for durable solutions.
