New Web Resources

UNHCR's Policy Development and Evaluation Service (PDES) has revived its dormant Facebook page. All PDES reports can now be accessed from the page, which also includes recent posts on incentive payments for refugees, alternatives to refugee camps, assisted voluntary return programmes, and an internship opportunity.


Other new sites/blogs:

- Hosted by Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne; "provides a space to generate dialogue, drive research agendas, inspire collaborations and also to share research tools, resources and outcomes." Focus is on Asia Pacific.
