Anila Noor: Refugees want a real say in decisions shaping their lives: hereâs how that could happenâŚ
The phrase âmeaningful participation of refugeesâ has become an important buzz phrase in the humanitarian sector.
In this blog, Anila Noor draws on a recent paper to set out what refugee-led organisations are looking for in the run-up to next yearâs crucial Global Refugee Forum â and top of the list is enough seats at the table: she says 25% of participants at the forum should be refugees.
Other key recommendations include calls for more support for refugee empowerment and for organisations such as the Global Refugee-led network; and for NGOs to do some âdeep soul-searchingâ to ensure diversity in staffing to include displaced people.Â
