Inline
The UN's refugee agency, UNHCR, held its annual interactive consultations with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from 3-5 July 2012 at the International Conference Centre in Geneva. UNHCR has been holding yearly consultations with NGOs for over 25 years, providing an important forum for NGOs to raise issues, network and exchange views with UNHCR. This year, more than 430 NGOs from 86 countries attended the consultations.
During the opening plenary session, Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees T. Alexander Aleinikoff said UNHCR was looking at how the agency and its partners could "become 21st Century organizations" and thus more innovative in assisting refugees.
The consultations took place over three days, and incorporated regional as well as thematic sessions, in addition to numerous, less formal side events.
