Dear all,
UNHCR's Policy Development and Evaluation Service has just issued four
new reports that may be of interest to members of the Forced Migration
Discussion List:
1. 'Changing the way UNHCR does business? An evaluation of the Age,
Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming Strategy'.
http://www.unhcr.org/4c206b449.html
This report provides an independent and global review of UNHCR's AGDM
strategy. It concludes that this new way of doing business requires
proactive Excom and senior management leadership, effective
accountability functions, adequate resources and capacity.
2. 'No Entry! A review of UNHCR's response to border closures in
situations of mass refugee influx'.
http://www.unhcr.org/4c207bd59.html
This report reviews and draws lessons from the way that UNHCR has
responded to a number of border closures over the past 20 years. Highly
topical in view of current events on the Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan border!
3. 'Trees only move in the wind: a study of unaccompanied Afghan
children in Europe'.
http://www.unhcr.org/4c1229669.html
Based on research undertaken throughout the continent, this report
examines the profile of the many Afghan children who are making their
way to Europe. The report analyzes the way their journeys are funded and
organized, discusses their treatment on arrival and concludes with a set
of policy recommendations for UNHCR and other stakeholders.
4. 'Earth, wind and fire: a review of UNHCR's role in recent natural
disasters'.
http://www.unhcr.org/4c1228e19.html
This review will be discussed at a forthcoming and informal meeting with
members of UNHCR's Executive Committee. The report identifies the key
lessons learned from UNHCR's involvement in recent events such as the
Haiti earthquake, the Myanmar cyclone and the Philippines floods.
