1) Responding to Refugee Crises in Developing Countries: What Can We Learn From Evaluations?
http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/development/responding-to-refugee-crises-in-developing-countries_ae4362bd-en
This working paper draws from the evaluation work of OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) members and aims to strengthen the evidence base to help improve future responses to refugee crises in developing countries. Written by Héloïse Ruaudel, a project research consultant and Susanna Morrison-Métois, a policy analyst at the DAC Network on Development Evaluation, the paper provides evidence from evaluations to feed into guidance on better programming that is being developed through the DAC Temporary Working Group on Refugees and Migration ( http://www.oecd.org/dac/refugees-migration-working-group.htm ).
It is complemented by three case studies - Afghanistan ( http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/development/responding-to-refugee-crises_de7e6a13-en ), South Sudan ( http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/development/responding-to-refugee-crises_3b2fd4cc-en ), and Ethiopia/Uganda ( http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/development/responding-to-refugee-crises_8346fc6f-en ) - that look at how policy goals have been implemented in specific country contexts.
Key topics covered in the working paper include:
Bridging the gap between humanitarian and development programming
Strengthening the international response to protracted crises
Improving whole-of-government approaches in refugee contexts
Learning from work in urban settings
Improving access to employment and quality education for refugees and host communities
Mobilising financing mechanisms for refugee crises in middle income countries
Examining financing in response to the Syria crisis

2) New report: Tackling the root causes of human trafficking and smuggling from Eritrea
The joint EU-Africa policy on migration from Eritrea and the Horn of Africa is in urgent need of reform, according to a new report entitled "Tackling the root causes of human trafficking and smuggling from Eritrea: the need for an empirically grounded EU policy on mixed migration in the Horn of Africa." from the International Refugee Rights Initiative (IRRI), The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA), and The Centre for Human Rights Law at SOAS, University of London.

3) IDMC Thematic Report: Global Disaster Displacement Risk - A baseline for future work
http://www.internal-displacement.org/library/publications/2017/global-disaster-displacement-risk-a-baseline-for-future-work?source=mailchimp
Internal displacement associated with disasters is a global issue. There were 24.2 million new internal displacements brought on by sudden-onset natural hazards in 2016. Despite that, internal displacement is one of the least reported impacts of sudden-onset disasters, and its consequences on people’s lives, local communities, countries and the international community are often not taken into account. The current scale of the phenomenon, its trends, patterns and future risks are poorly understood, which hinders the effective reduction of both displacement and disaster risk.
This thematic report lays the groundwork for addressing this gap and presents the first results generated by our Global Displacement Risk Model ( http://www.internal-displacement.org/database/global-displacement-risk-model/?source=mailchimp ). The report frames displacement through the lens of future risk rather than as something to be addressed only after it has occurred.
4) New IRRI report: "Protection for refugees not from refugees:Somalis in exile and the securitisation of refugee policy"
This report looks at the impact the increased securitisation of refugee policy has had on the lives of refugees.
With the generous support of the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation, between March and June 2017, IRRI interviewed Somali refugees living in Kenya, Uganda and the United States, as well as relevant NGO, UN and government actors. The findings highlight some of the realities that refugees face when governments fashion a correlation between forced migration and insecurity that is both fundamentally flawed and has serious implications for people’s lives.
