Refugees/IDPs

Leveraging change to policies, laws and practices in refugee hosting countries

Helpdesk Report
  • Dylan O’Driscoll
November 2017

This rapid review synthesises data from academic, policy and NGO sources on influencing government polices on refugees, with a particular focus on Rohingya in Bangladesh.

Environmental Impact Assessments in refugee crises

Helpdesk Report

The literature specifically highlights the ...» more
