UNRWA is perceived as providing high-quality inputs to policy dialogue that affects the lives of Palestine refugees. UNRWA, as part of its approach to protection, documents and raises awareness of key alleged violations of international law relating to the rights of Palestine refugees and provides regular inputs to the Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism (MRM) on grave violations of child rights to the UN Security Council. UNRWA also produces a number of protection advocacy products including confidential IHRS submissions, and briefings to key donors and diplomatic community. The Education Programme regularly provides inputs to presentations on advocacy for Education and for education in Emergencies, for example presentations at the World Humanitarian Summit. UNRWA’s Health Department is a Member of the UN Task force for NCD and mental health and participates regularly in 11, 28, 32, 46, 60, 65 global for a such as the WHO health assembly, and WHO/EMRO Regional committee to share research and lessons learned. Its microfinance programme also collaborated with the Syria Centre for Policy Research in the early stages of the conflict to produce quarterly socioeconomic reports on Syria in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) which are regularly used for inter-agency planning and high-level advocacy. UNRWA’s materials and work are referenced in the work of other agencies; for example, its materials are referenced by the International Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) and in UNICEF’s LSCE Framework. UNRWA has historically had challenges in its internal knowledge management and identification and dissemination of lessons learned. MI 6.9 Evidence confidence Medium confidence
