Danish Refugee Council exits North Caucasus after 17 years (11.11.14)
17 years of humanitarian efforts in North Caucasus is concluded and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) can look back on one of the largest operations in the history of the organization. From emergency relief during the wars in Chechnya to reconstruction and durable solutions for the displaced population, the lessons learned in North Caucasus have set the standard for DRC interventions in zones of conflict across the globe.
…”We leave the North Caucasus with a sense of achievement having solved a crucial task and gained important experience as an organization – we have helped many hundreds of thousands of civilians, and efforts are recognized both internationally and locally, in the Assinovska settlement a street was baptised ‘Danish Street’ in recognition of DRC efforts in Chechnya, “says Ann Mary Olsen.
