Across humanitarian, migration, and protection systems, millions of displaced children are registered and they are recorded—but often they are not truly recognized. While they exist in databases, these children lack portable, trusted methods of recognition. That makes it impossible for them to move safely, access education, avoid exploitation, or be treated as children at all.
For these children, displacement is not their greatest vulnerability—systemic invisibility is.
This closed-door salon-style gathering will focus on surfacing ideas that are ready for deployment. Part of our Capital Dialogues Signal Salon series alongside IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings, the event will convene humanitarian leaders, policymakers, development and finance actors, and civic stewards. Through conversations grounded in decades of field experience and emerging global initiatives such as the Blue Passport and the Lifelong Learning Passport, participants will explore how to enact a fundamental shift to thinking of recognition as protective infrastructure.
