Protracted Refugee Situations (PRS) Cluster
The UNHCR has observed that in protracted refugee situations (PRS), material dependency is associated with inadequate access to basic rights (Global Consultations 2002 in Smith 2004). To what extent, if any, is the longevity of PRS and the massive increase in internally displaced populations (IDPs) linked to the expansion of humanitarian aid, the concomitant decline of sustainable development aid, and the rise of the fragile state and peacebuilding debates?
Urban Displacement
A Metropolis/RRN conversation on urban displacement was held in October 2009 in Ottawa. This roundtable was held in advance of the High Commissioner's Dialogue on Urban Displacement, scheduled for Geneva in December. The attachments below include the agenda, along with UNHCR's new policy as of September 2009.
