Review contracts and agreements for the obligations they create around resettlement and integration projects.
Managing Refugee Resettlement and Community Integration Projects
A concise, decision-focused programme covering resettlement and integration projects end to end.
Course Overview
Stakeholders withdraw support for resettlement and integration projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. Scope on integration projects expands through small agreements made in isolation. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this part of project and portfolio delivery and revise it on evidence. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in resettlement and integration projects rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the project and portfolio delivery discipline among the areas with the widest performance spread. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for integration projects, not for observers of it. The course sets out a working method for resettlement and integration projects that participants can apply the week they return. The difficulty is not agreeing that integration projects matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this strand of project and portfolio delivery survives a hostile question.
