The Refugee Engagement Forum (REF) Good Practice Study

U-Learn recently published the Refugee Engagement Forum (REF) Good Practice Study report which explains how the REF - a two-way feedback mechanism between national refugee response decision makers and refugee representatives - has innovated Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) in Uganda, by successfully including refugee voices at the most senior refugee response coordination mechanism of the response.

The Good Practice Study report gives insights into the REF, showcases lessons learned from the Uganda experience, and explains why it is a model initiative for promoting refugees’ involvement at a National level of refugee response coordination and planning. The study is a joint collaboration between U-Learn and the REF Taskforce co-chaired by OPM and UNHCR. The full report can be downloaded here and the 2-page brief can be downloaded here.
