Civil Society Engagement
We engage and support civil society to have the agency, space and capacity to enable fulfillment of rights of people affected by conflict and displacement.
"Migrants and refugees - and their descendants - who maintain ties with their form or ancestral homeland - and with compatriots living elsewhere"
Danish Refugee Council (DRC) works with diaspora actors because we recognize the substantial impact they have in countries of origin, migration transit, and countries of destination and, consequently, their potential for improving the situation for many of those affected by displacement.
DRC recognizes diaspora as crucial transnational civil society actors and work with diaspora as part of our civil society engagement.
