2013AnnualReport

The world passed a grim milestone in 2013: for the first time since World War II, more than 50 million people were forced from their homes by conflict. New emergencies in the Central African Republic and South Sudan shocked the world with their scale and severity, while prolonged crises in Syria, Somalia and the Democratic Republic of Congo continued with little hope of abatement.

Humanitarians cannot end these conflicts, but they can save lives and restore the dignity of survivors. Since 1979, Refugees International has used its independent advocacy to improve the way aid is delivered and to ensure that the rights of all displaced people are respected. And we have indeed achieved results. Aid arrives faster and reaches more people. New laws and policies ensure that human rights are respected. Entire classes of people who were invisible for decades — the internally displaced, the stateless, those displaced by natural disasters and the women and girls vulnerable to abuse — are no longer ignored. Together, these changes have helped tens of millions of vulnerable people, and they have come about because generations of Refugees International advocates loudly and fearlessly demanded them. Our founders and our supporters can be proud of that legacy. In this report, you will read about many of the successes that Refugees International achieved in 2013. You will also learn how our unique approach sets us apart and why it works. Finally, without our generous friends and supporters, we could not engage in this critical work. For that vote of confidence, we are truly grateful.

Sincerely,

Michel Gabaudan, President Eileen Shields-West, Chair

International missions2013 Refugees

ChallengeDisplacement crises left unattended threaten stability around the world. There are 51.2 million refugees and internally displaced people and 10 million stateless people living in limbo without citizenship rights. People forced from their homes are among the world’s most vulnerable and they all have individual stories of loss, heartache and survival.

ImpactTimely responses to displacement crises can increase stability in a region before the conflict spreads across borders. Due to our efforts, displaced people receive food, medicine and education; families return home; peacekeepers are sent to protect displaced people from harm; and stateless people obtain legal status.

ReputationRefugees International was started in 1979 as a citizens’ movement to protect Indochinese refugees. Since then, we have expanded to become the leading advocacy organization that provokes action from global leaders to resolve refugee crises. We do not accept government or UN funding, allowing our advocacy to be fearless and independent. Our expert recommendations are highly valued by the very people whose decisions bring immediate relief and lifesaving solutions to displaced people: senior officials of the U.S. Administration and U.S. Congress, the UN and governments around the world.

Field WorkEach year, Refugees International conducts 12-15 field missions to identify displaced people’s needs for basic services such as food, water, health care and access to education to protect them from harm. With our field-based knowledge of humanitarian emergencies,

we successfully challenge policy makers and aid agencies to improve the lives of displaced people around the world. Where there are needs, we witness what is lacking, we present solutions and we demand action.

SPECIAL PROGRAM AREAS Climate Displacement ProgramEach year, millions of people are driven from their homes by disasters such as floods, storms and droughts. Most live in the world’s poorest and most conflict-ridden states and lack the resources to recover after a crisis. As climate continues to change across the globe, natural disasters will become more frequent and more severe, leading to even greater human suffering. To date, governments are failing to address this growing threat, and climate-related disasters are continuing to have the greatest impact on the most vulnerable communities. RI’s Climate Displacement Program has emerged as a leading voice among humanitarians, policy experts and key government decision-makers in ensuring that those forced to flee their homes due to extreme weather receive timely, sufficient and effective assistance.

Women and Girls ProgramFor more than a decade, RI has persistently advocated for improved humanitarian assistance for women and girls across the globe. Humanitarian crises — whether caused by conflict or natural disasters — tend to impact women and girls on a larger scale, for they become more vulnerable to rape, sexual assault and domestic violence. RI forcefully advocates for women and girls to help ensure that the international community does not abandon their needs as they attempt to carve out new futures after losing their homes, their nations, and in many instances, their loved ones.

What We Do How Refugees International Works

A Safety Net for People Displaced by DisastersRI’s advocacy was instrumental in convincing the U.S. government to support the Nansen Initiative, which seeks solutions for people who flee their countries as a result of climate-related disasters and are not protected by the 1951 Refugee Convention. RI is also advising in the development of guidelines to better protect and assist these populations.

Syria: More Protection for Women and GirlsRI was the first NGO to raise the alarm about a lack of programs to address and prevent gender-based violence among displaced Syrians. In November 2013, the UK Department for International Development responded to this shortfall by providing £8.6 million in new funding.

South Sudan: US House of Representatives Addresses SPLA AbuseIn line with RI’s recommendations in its July 2013 report, the U.S. House of Representatives added language to its Appropriations bill requiring a report on whether South Sudan is “investigating and punishing members of security forces who have violated human rights” before aid to the country is released.

Women and Girls: State Department Launches New Initiative

In response to RI’s repeated calls for the U.S. government to do more to prevent and respond to gender-based violence in humanitarian crises, the State Department launched “Safe From the Start,” a $10 million initiative to protect women and girls.

Myanmar: Ban on the Importation of Gemstones ExtendedIn July 2013, RI and supporters demanded that the U.S. Congress renew a ban on the importation of Myanmar gemstones, which fuel corruption and human rights abuses in ethnic minority regions. While Congress did not act, President Obama signed an executive order to extend the ban.

Syria: US Contributes $155 Million in AidIn January 2013, RI briefed State Department officials on the need to fund the UN’s humanitarian appeal for Syrians. Weeks later, at a donor conference in Kuwait City, 60 nations pledged a combined $1.5 billion in aid. The American delegation contributed $155 million.

DRC: UN Considers Changes to GBV ResponseThe UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict traveled to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, spurred largely by the findings in RI’s spring 2013 report. In addition, a member of the UN’s Gender-based Violence Rapid Response Team was sent to the country to consider overhauling its coordination system, which RI had urged.

Syria: Turkey Begins Registration of Syrian RefugeesIn December 2012, RI called on Turkey to establish a registration process, in coordination with the United Nations Refugee Agency, as a fundamental protection measure for Syrian refugees not living in camps. In spring 2013, Turkey began registering Syrian refugees living outside of camps, which will allow tens of thousands of city-dwelling Syrians to access lifesaving aid.

Internally Displaced People: A Commitment to ProtectRI played a leading role in encouraging the UN Refugee Agency to focus on internally displaced people during its December 2013 Protection Dialogue. RI also helped to shape the NGO community’s position for the Dialogue, and ensured that UNHCR made specific and tangible commitments. RI is working with both UNHCR and the U.S. State Department to see that those commitments are met.

Statelessness: Protections Approved by the US SenateAfter RI led advocacy efforts to raise awareness of the plight of people who are denied nationality status and lack legal protections, a comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by the Senate included unprecedented protections for stateless people in the United States.

DRC: Additional UNHCR Staff Deployed to the East

After RI raised concerns about the lack of adequate camp coordination staff in the DRC, the UN Refugee Agency requested an additional five staff be deployed to eastern Congo.

Partnership for Effective Peacekeeping Continues Successful Policy Discourse

With the generous support of the Better World Campaign, RI continued its leadership of the Partnership for Effective Peacekeeping (PEP) — Washington’s only forum dedicated to peacekeeping policy and practice. In 2013, the PEP’s 10 high-level roundtables attracted senior leaders, including UN Assistant Secretary General Edmond Mulet and Nobel Peace Prize laureate José Ramos-Horta. The PEP also served as an important resource for Congress and civil society, providing the only independent forecasts for the UN’s $7.8 billion peacekeeping budget.
