Identification and Referral of Refugees in Need of Resettlement

NGOs, in partnership with UNHCR, or in the course of their normal work, can identify refugees at heightened risk or in need of specific protection interventions, including resettlement. Such identification may take a variety of forms and may be brought to UNHCR's attention in a variety of ways, from simply flagging the case, to a more in-depth case write-up.
