From 2014 to 2016, I worked particularly on the issue of exiles and refugees as a humanitarian actor with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) in the Central African Republic. The program I worked on - information, counseling and legal assistance - mainly concerned the rights of displaced persons and refugees, with the production of several reports on issues such as protection, housing and property rights.
I also contributed to the drafting and validation of other expert reports on the same issue for external researchers or to answer questions for international protection or justice institutions.
