Survey for ORR RPB Stakeholders 2024

ORR’s Refugee Program Bureau (RPB) Division of Interagency Outreach and Response (DIOR) would like to gain an understanding of the impacts of its interagency outreach and resource dissemination, both in general and through the Resettlement Stakeholder call (biweekly Thursdays at 3pm ET). DIOR is in its third year and looking to better understand its impact. As you may know, DIOR hosts the RS calls and invites interagency and non-governmental speakers, developed the ORR Partnership Series (e.g., Economic Mobility series), and has hosted numerous trainings from interagency partners.
