We are committed to promoting protection and solutions with and for refugees. Bound by a unity of purpose, we strive to reshape the discourse and politics of the global refugee regime by enhancing the role of civil society in all stages of the development and functioning of the regime.

LERRN also has funding to finance collaborative research placements, undertaken by a graduate student from one of our partner Canadian universities (Carleton University, McGill University, University of Ottawa and York University) and a student selected by our Geographic Working Groups in Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon and Tanzania. This research is an integral part of our combined effort to understand and enhance the role of civil society in responding to the needs of refugees in the Global South.
