The Program on Policy and Governance in Palestinian Refugee Camps was set up in March 2008 to link the knowledge produced at the American University of Beirut (AUB) to public policy processes as well as fields of practice in the region. The program’s aim is to better inform policy-making processes and the various authorities and parties concerned, and to involve the public - whenever possible - in agenda and priority setting processes. It explores the public policy and governance challenges of Palestinian refugee camps and their host communities in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, the West Bank and Gaza.

The program’s partners include scholars, NGOs, host governments, Palestinian factions and popular committees, camp communities, UNRWA, local authorities, and international donors amongst others. It aims to provide an ongoing mechanism for the above-mentioned actors to meet and exchange ideas on the most pressing challenges and the most relevant policy solutions.
