Resourcing Refugee Leadership Initiative

Dignified, cost-effective solutions for millions of forcibly displaced people.

who we are

We are a six organization-strong global coalition driven by the importance of transferring ownership and resources to refugee-led organizations.

Imagine that local refugee leaders had the funding and access to scale their impact.​ 

The Resourcing Refugee Leadership Initiative (RRLI) is realizing this vision.

apply

We have established the first-of-its-kind RLO-to-RLO Fund—a fund for refugees by refugees—housed within Asylum Access.

The fund will aggregate contributions and redistribute them to RLOs around the world.

​

The application period will launch January 7, 2022. Applications will be due March 2022.

learn

Refugee-led organizations (RLOs) are facilitating inclusion in host communities with awareness outsiders don’t have, and driving solutions for people outsiders can’t reach. But, they rarely have the resources — funding, operational elements and political influence — to maximize impact. 

​

This initiative addresses this resource gap.
