Resilience Development Initiative Urban Refugees Research Group (RDI UREF) was
established in 2018 under the knowledge hub of Children, Social Welfare, and Health
(CSWH) research cluster of RDI. RDI UREF aims to increase awareness, knowledge-base,
and public discourse of urban refugees, forced migration, and urban development research topics. The core of the research is to find out how cities in transit countries who directly experience the influx of migration, welcome and deal with refugees despite the limited regulation and framework in the country.
