Refugees and development
Resolution number:
15
June 1994
Whereas:
- At the refugees and development sessions there was considerable interest in continued activity around these issues;
- A significant barrier to coordinated assistance to refugees and the internally displaced in countries of asylum/origin is the separation of responsibilities and different funding criteria within departments and between government ministries;
Therefore be it resolved:
That the CCR:
- Continue to organize sessions on international refugee and development issues;
- Investigate initiating dialogue with CIDA, Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Finance to discuss the overlapping responsibilities/ funding criteria relating to refugee relief and development assistance.
Working Group:
Overseas Protection and Resettlement
