Migration and Refugee Assistance -- Protection

The United States aims to protect refugees, conflict victims, and internally displaced persons through contributions to the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Voluntary returns and resettlements are the primary long term solutions for refugee situations.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • Overall, the program is well designed to integrate the separate mandates and activities of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees into a comprehensive USG approach to protection and durable solutions.
  • The US has successfully encouraged program partners to commit to results-oriented program management. This commitment to performance improvements is evident in annual agreements with the United Nations and through the International Committee of the Red Cross' internal management tools (such as Planning for Results) and performance reporting.
  • The program has made steady progress toward stated protection goals. While full achievement of the goal of reducing the long standing global refugee population by 25 percent by 2009 is difficult to gauge at this point, the program has helped facilitate a reduction in the number of refugees (identified by the UN) over the last three years.
