The challenges of global displacement continue to grow in scale and complexity. So too the opportunities. We are responding with a bold new vision and strategy. Last month, we were thrilled to introduce Pathways International, an organization focused on growing protection pathways and radically reforming the global system.
Our new strategy builds on our existing work. This means continued commitment to our global projects and partnerships, including The Global Refugee Sponsorship Initiative (GRSI), the Resettlement Diplomacy Network, and the Third Country Solutions Identification and Referral Network (TIRN).
The University of Ottawa Refugee Hub will continue to house our dedicated knowledge team and contribute to the critical work of our partnerships and workstreams, including the GRSI.
