Ready to Help: Improving Resilience of Integration Systems for Refugees and other Vulnerable Migrants was prepared as an integral part of the OECD Horizontal Project on Ensuring Better Integration of Vulnerable Migrants. The report was written under the overall supervision of the OECD Secretary General, Angel Gurría, and the OECD Chief of Staff and Sherpa, Gabriela Ramos.
