Migration Seminar Series: Refugee Finance in the EU - The Implications for International Protection

A UNU-MERIT seminar examining the role of refugee finance within the European Union and its implications for international protection. The session analyses financial instruments used to promote integration — such as social impact bonds and micro-finance — and situates these within EU policy frameworks including AMIF and ESF+. The seminar discusses case studies across the EU and critically assesses claims about the effectiveness and rights implications of economically framed models of protection.
