From Relief and Works to Human Development: Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA and Palestinian Refugees after 60 years

16 December?2010

December 2009 marked the 60th anniversary of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA: an occasion for sober reflection but also an opportunity to assess the Agency’s challenges and achievements during six decades of work alongside millions of Palestine refugees.

Within this framework, Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA and the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs (IFI) at the American University of Beirut (AUB) organised an international conference on October 8 and 9 2010. The conference assembled a critical body of academic and policy research around Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA’s six-decade-long experience in supporting Palestine refugees.
