RWII

Insights for better refugee integration knowledge, policy and practice.

The Refugee Wellbeing and Integration Initiative (RWII) is a project the works hand-in-hand with refugees to inform concerned stakeholders on the group needs to integrate into the Dutch society through reliable data, diligent interviews, and analysis. AS RWII and its partners, we come together with the understanding that wellbeing is a crucial pillar to refugee integration to help organizations to understand that a well-balanced service supply is a key to successful resettlement.
