The Refugee Engagement Forum is a national platform that allows elected refugee representatives to raise community concerns. It has 40 members who are elected through the Refugee Welfare Committees. These committees serve as a link between refugees and service providers, and help resolve community conflicts.
The forum operates on a cycle where concerns are identified, presented at quarterly meetings, and then prioritized for further discussion. The outcomes of these discussions are then shared with the community. The Refugee Engagement Forum aims to ensure that refugee voices inform national-level decision making.
