Establishing refugee committees for the urban community through community centres
UNHCR Turkey
Highlights
Adopting the participatory approach in all its programmes, UNHCR advocates and encourages for establishing refugees committees which are seen as tool to ensure refugees’ right in participation. In order to be able to outreach a large number of refugees, design activities based on the needs and ensure safe environment for community centre’s staff and refugees, refugees committees should be established.
UNHCR is pleased to work closely with its implementing partners to support them in establishing refugees’ committees in the community centres. This note aims at providing a general guideline on how to establish committees in the urban setting, propose roles for the committee’s members, and suggest a code of conduct.
