MARRI-RIE Initiative

Since its launch early summer 2003, the MARRI-RIE Initiative continues paving the way for secure and efficient management of data related to displaced populations including cross border exchange. While the objective of this program is regional data exchange, it also includes a strong capacity building component for the national level and promotion of data protection legislation.

In addition, at the national level RIE assists in the transfer of data previously managed by international players to the national governments (so far Bosnia Herzegovina). At the first ministerial Regional Forum meeting on 5 April 2004, the RIE initiative that has established its own project implementation capacity, received re-confirmation for its political and operational aims. The programme will be supervised from Brussels until 31 until the full capacity of the regional centre in Skopje has been established.
