Refugee Status Determination and Rights in Southern and East Africa
On 16 and 17 November 2010, Dr Alice Edwards of the University of Oxford’s Refugee Studies Centre convened a workshop discussion on the state of refugee status determination (RSD) and refugee rights in southern and east Africa. The event, which was held in Kampala, Uganda, was coordinated by Oxford research student Marina Sharpe, with the assistance of the Kampala-based International Refugee Rights Initiative (IRRI), and generously funded by the Commonwealth Foundation and the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development.
