About the research

Mick Dumper has been awarded a grant of £26,000 from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). 

The award provides funding to convene a joint workshop of the Academic Friends of UNRWA network and the Office of the Commissioner-General of UNRWA to examine the future challenges confronting the agency in the light of developments in the Middle East and delineating possible policy options.
