|
Overviews of the scope and nature of the refugee issue, the Palestinian refugees in the context of the Middle East peace process, and key issues and debates.
|
|
A listing of research projects around the world focussing on the refugee issue.

The PRRN website is currently visited by some four hundred researchers, journalists, activists and policy-makers per month. In addition, the FOFOGNET listserv currently distributes news and analyses three times per week to more than one hundred and thirty researchers, NGOs and agencies in the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Related projects provide internet-accessible information on socioeconomic development (Palestinian Development InfoNet) and UN and other donor activities (UNSCO website) in the West Bank and Gaza.
