The Danish answer

JUSTICE

by THE OLBIOS TEAM

With a long and reputable history, the Danish Refugee Council has worked since 1956 across all aspects of the refugee cause. From initial displacement to housing and small-scale income generation, the organization is resolute in securing durable solutions for refugees, seeing their journey through until they are able to live in a stable and permanent environment. Founded to address the European refugee crisis following World War II, the Danish Refugee Council is responsible for extensive humanitarian work including the delivery of over half of the international aid to Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 1990’s. The organization’s activities today assist over one million people in thirty countries, including programs in some of the world’s most conflicted areas: Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Chechnya. Its commitment to sustained recovery means the organization often remains in complex country situations for ten to fifteen years. Working with refugees, authorities and non-state actors, the Danish Refugee Council exits only when stability and local management has been secured. As a membership body comprising thirty organizations, the Council’s network and impact is expansive. It consistently employs strategic partnerships to enhance the collective outcome of humanitarian efforts. Through its Stand-By Roster, the Danish Refugee Council deploys rapid assistance to UN emergency operations to augment resources for internally displaced persons (IDPs). A leader in its field, it has also established innovative operations, including co-founding the Joint IDP Profiling Service, which collects core data on IDPs. The profiling service made available to a wide range of humanitarian organizations provides information regarding age, sex, and location of the displaced. It has benefited around one million refugees. drc_website Website: http://www.drc.dk/home/ The next best solution
