On 08 December
2009, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for
Palestine Refugees in the Near East will be sixty years old.
This commemoration offers an occasion for sober reflection but also an opportunity to showcase UNRWA's service and achievement during six decades of work alongside millions of Palestine refugees. The anniversary presents UNRWA with a chance to reposition itself among humanitarian and development actors in the Middle East and transmit powerful messages about the contribution - past and future - that the Agency has and will make to the prosperity and stability of the region.
This pilot webportal is a resource for the projects, events and initiatives planned for the 60th anniversary. It includes detailed descriptions of the various projects being undertaken by UNRWA and its partners; news and updates concerning "UNRWA at 60" and its ongoing events; key resources about UNRWA, its history, work and challenges.
A full description of the "UNRWA at 60" initiative can be found in the Concept Paper; you can download the entire package of project proposals here. Finally, a powerpoint presentation of the initiative can be found here.
