Capacity-building on refugee protection, internal displacement, and statelessness for government officials

The Department of State Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration awarded a $319,874 Cooperative Agreement to the International Institute Of Humanitarian Law to provide capacity-building on refugee protection, internal displacement, and statelessness for government officials in Italy. This award is funded through the Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Strategic Global Priorities (CFDA 19.522) which supports contributions to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Under this 12-month Cooperative Agreement, the International Institute Of Humanitarian Law will deliver training, tools, and resources to build the knowledge and skills of Italian government officials and civil society to enhance protection for displaced populations. By strengthening local capacity, this project helps advance the Bureau's strategic priorities for supporting refugees, internally displaced persons, and stateless individuals globally.
