Facebook

UNHCR's Policy Development and Evaluation Service (PDES) has created a Facebook page so that people who are interested in the work of PDES can stay updated and connected.

Other organizations that have jumped on the social networking bandwagon include:

• Displacement Solutions
• European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE)
• Human Rights First
• International Rescue Committee (IRC)
• IRINNews
• Program on Forced Migration and Health
• Refugee Council (UK)
• Refugee Research Network
• Refugees International
• Refugees United
• ReliefWeb
• UNHCR (check their "favorite pages" to view the FB pages of other UNHCR offices)
• US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI)
• Women's Refugee Commission

I'm sure there are many more, and no doubt those of you who are already on Facebook know better than I how to connect to them! As for everyone else, the above-mentioned pages are public, so you don't have to be on Facebook to access them. The pages also have associated RSS feeds, so you can be alerted to new additions. But note that some Facebook features are only available if you sign up.
