Additional panelists to follow.

Please join us for an expert panel discussion on the implications of the global refugee and humanitarian crisis for international development. The discussion will feature opening keynote remarks from Andrew Natsios, former USAID administrator and current Director of the Scowcroft Institute for International Affairs at Texas A&M University.

With nearly 60 million refugees, migrants, and internally displaced persons, worldwide displacement is at a record high. The current system for processing and assisting refugees is at a breaking point. A variety of solutions that meet the complex realities of refugees, countries of origin, and host countries must be generated to encourage stability and create a precedent for human rights and security. Finding the appropriate blend of official development assistance, restructuring existing roles for outside actors, and reducing the fragility and conflict that drives people away from their countries of origin will lead to a more stable and productive future.

Please RSVP to PPD@CSIS.ORG with your name and affiliation.

This event is made possible by general support to the Project on Prosperity and Development.
