About Us

While THP advocates a global approach to refugee and migration issues, it recognizes the value in hearing the voices of regional and national stakeholders, taking into account specific regional situations and sharing analysis of best practice between neighbouring countries.

As such, between 2005 and 2009, THP organized and supported regional meetings to leverage solutions at regional and local levels and to disseminate good practices through its global network. Notably, regional activities have been undertaken in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and in West-North Africa.

Policy Avenues:

  • Trust / awareness-building: providing space for dialogue between researchers, CSOs and policy-makers
  • Impact of policy responses: building bridges between stakeholders for coherence and articulation
  • Regional covenants for protection and human security of refugees and migrants
  • Policy coherence through levels of governance and policy realms: towards possible frameworks
  • Migration and development nexus: exploration of specific regional opportunities / challenges
