International Refugee
Program Human Rights First Refugee Protection: Domestic and International Since
1992, the International Refugee Program has had a regional focus on Africa.
Ten years later the continent continues to host a staggering three million
refugees. We are working closely with local partners in both East
Africa and West
Africa to advance practical strategies for refugee protection.
Our particular focus on security
issues across the globe has most recently
