Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance, Fiscal year 2010

摘要

Within the Department of State, the mission of the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) is to protect, assist and seek sustainable solutions for the most vulnerable populations around the world refugees, conflict victims, stateless persons, and vulnerable migrants by acting through the multilateral system to achieve operational productivity on behalf of victims and burden-sharing on behalf of the American taxpayer. The Bureau carries out its mission by integrating diplomatic engagement and humanitarian programs, including overseas assistance programs, the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, and the resettlement of humanitarian migrants to Israel. In close coordination with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Bureau also has primary responsibility within the U.S. government for international migration policy and population policy, including advocating for international child and maternal health initiatives and covering relations with the UN Population Fund (UNFPA). PRMs diplomatic and programmatic activities are a core part of the Secretary of States conflict response capacity and play a vital role in U.S. government efforts to address the full cycle of complex emergencies. Humanitarian programs support conflict prevention goals by countering extremist elements in fragile states and reducing the likelihood that those in need will turn toward radical ideologies; they support first responders who provide life-saving assistance in conflict areas, such as in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Gaza, Sri Lanka and Darfur; and they contribute to reconstruction and stabilization efforts by supporting sustainable solutions to displacement, such as return and reintegration programs.
