Regional Refugee Coordination Office for the Horn of Africa

The Regional Refugee Coordination Office (RefCoord) based in Addis Ababa is responsible for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of all refugee assistance projects in the Horn of Africa funded by the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM).  As such, the Refugee Coordinator works closely with major international and intergovernmental organizations (IOs) providing humanitarian assistance to refugees and displaced persons, as well as a variety of international non-governmental organizations (NGOs).  PRM's main implementing partner for refugee assistance is the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR).  Other partners include the World Food Program (WFP), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).  The Refugee Coordinator also works closely with host-government partners providing assistance to refugees.
