\n New Report Published – Refugee-Led Responses and Agency in East Africa, the Middle East, and South America\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

We are pleased to announce the release of the new synthesis report titled Refugee-Led Responses and Agency in East Africa, the Middle East, and South America<\/em>,<\/strong> prepared by Stephanie Lopez Villamil<\/a>. The report brings together findings from two major LERRN research projects<\/a> conducted between 2020\u20132025, examining refugee-led organizations (RLOs) and refugee leadership across East Africa, the Middle East, and South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a time when global displacement is at its highest, this synthesis report offers a timely and evidence-based perspective on how refugees themselves \u2014 not only external actors \u2014 are leading meaningful, locally rooted, and effective responses. By drawing together diverse regional experiences and deepening our understanding of refugee agency, the report reinforces the need for policy and funding frameworks, provides clear recommendations to strengthen support for RLOs and advance meaningful refugee participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
