Refugee-led organisations (RLOs) are a crucial cog in the refugee-response machine, providing essential services to their communities, as well as being more likely to lead responses that are accountable, legitimate, transparent, effective and impactful.
This five-year research project aims to provide rigorous and independent snapshots of funding over time and an evidence-based advocacy tool to improve the quantity and quality of funding that is directed to RLOs. The project focuses on the following research questions:
- What is the rationale for donors funding RLOs?
- How much funding are donors allocating to RLOs?
- What is the quality of the funding to RLOs?
- What needs to happen to improve the quantity and quality of funding to RLOs?
