Our work builds on existing literature and presents empirical evidence on the nature, scope, and impact played by varied scales of Refugee-led Organisations (RLOs) in three countries in the Middle East: Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To study the dynamics of the RLOs and to understand the various structures refugees have established in the three countries given the different policies towards refugees and towards organisations led by refugees, we contextualise the refugees in their host states and discuss the several variables that matter in their established organisations to serve their communities such as leadership, funding, scale and legality. We analyse the opportunities and constraints, including local, national, and international politics, that shape their work and influence their role. In our presentation, we consider the dynamics established amongst refugee-led organisations with the wider host community in order to enhance their impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    \n\n\n
