Refugee-led organisations (RLOs) play a vital role in displacement response, but they could have far greater impact if they received more funding. The humanitarian system must adapt to recognise and finance RLOs within the localisation agenda.

What does participatory philanthropy look like in practice? In this article, Thomas Gillman, Najeeba Wazefadost, Michael Poots, and Adama Kamara in our latest issue discuss the process of setting up the Asia Pacific Network of Refugees pooled fund for refugee-led organisations in the region. They outline learning from the pilot phase and offer recommendations to encourage positive participation by recipients in funding processes in other sectors, such as climate change and community development.

Financing support for internally displaced persons (IDPs) is a complex undertaking, particularly in fragile, conflict and violence-affected settings. In their article ‘Rethinking financing approaches to support IDPs: learning from Afghanistan’, Olivier Lavinal, Lauren McCarthy and Nassim Majidi outline the situation in Afghanistan and suggest that an emphasis on local integration, involving local actors, the private sector, the diaspora community and climate finance, could offer a way forward.

Join us for the next talk in this term's seminar series! Sana Murrani will presents her book, Rupturing Architecture, the first to critically and visually examine the spatial practices of refuge in response to war, violence, and displacement in Iraq from 2003 to 2023. 📆 Wednesday 29 Jan, 5pm 📍 In person in Oxford Drawing on her experiences as an Iraqi architect who has lived through wars, UN-imposed sanctions, an invasion, and ongoing violence, Dr Murrani will explore how ordinary Iraqis have responded to trauma by creating refuge across homes, urban environments, and border geographies. She will shed light on their creative and adaptive practices, offering fresh perspectives on the intersections of domesticity, urbanity, and borders. The talk will explore the methods used in the book, including creative deep mapping, memory work, storytelling, and case studies, and focus on the lived experiences of 15 Iraqis. Their resilience underscores broader themes of spatial justice and feminist spatial practices. Dr Murrani will examine rupturing as both a mark of trauma and an act of resistance, shaping spaces of refuge. The talk will conclude with a manifesto for spatial justice, advocating for integrated approaches to place, memory, and trauma that resonate globally. https://lnkd.in/esnEcDYj

Refugee bonds have the potential to complement public sector funds and support refugee host countries’ economic development, but an emphasis on refugees’ contributions to the labour market may jeopardise the protection offered to them. In ‘Refugee Bonds: social impact investment and implications for international protection’, Daria Davitti, Sara Arapiles, and Pablo Pastor Vidal assess the usefulness of these innovative financial instruments through the case study of Finland’s KOTO social impact bond, issued in response to refugee arrivals in 2015 following the escalation of the armed conflict in Syria.

International donors’ requirements can prevent refugee-led organisations (RLOs) from accessing funding. Yet, as RLOs in Egypt demonstrate, direct finance for RLOs can deliver efficient, cost-effective and sustainable displacement response.
