Introduction:
UNHCR introduces new grant agreements that will allow us to get engaged with organizations led by displaced and stateless people in Indonesia as our partners. These new grants aim to create a simple mechanism to provide financial support to these organizations in order to assist them in realizing their projects and building their capacity; they will also allow us to work directly with the people we serve without having to use intermediaries.
