A model of refugee self-governance

The contributions and challenges of refugee-led initiatives in thailand

The work of refugee-led Camp Committees in Thailand serves as a model for refugee self-governance.

This report examines the contributions and challenges of refugee-led initiatives (RLIs) in Thailand, against the backdrop of massive international funding cuts and sudden policy shifts away from humanitarian aid by the international community of States.

The research project explores the ways in which RLIs support and engage with their communities and other stakeholders, as well as the barriers that they face when conducting their work.

climate displacement strategy

Climate change and its impacts are dramatically affecting the frequency of displacement, how and where people are being displaced, and the number of people being forced to flee their homes.

This brings unique challenges, increases protection needs, and will require new and innovative solutions and ways of working.

Act for Peace’s new climate displacement strategy sets out a framework to better understand these challenges and strengthen locally-led, community-based programs over the next five years.
