    Finance Manager (APRRN)

    The Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network (APRRN) is an open and growing network consisting of more than 300  civil  society  organisations  and  individuals  from  26  countries,  committed  to  advancing  the  rights  of refugees in the Asia Pacific region. The network is supported by a secretariat of five staff, based in Bangkok. APRRN’s activities are structured into key areas of joint advocacy, capacity strengthening, resource sharing and outreach.  

    Our members are diverse, including service providers, human rights advocacy groups, research institutions, law firms providing pro-bono legal aid, refugee community-based organisations and refugees themselves. Almost all APRRN members  are civil society groups working in their specific local contexts, lobbying their governments for changes in policies and legislation to protect the rights of refugees.

    APRRN’s  vision  for  the  Asia-Pacific  region  is  one  in  which  all  people  affected  by  displacement  and statelessness have equal and adequate access to assistance and protection, and to timely durable solutions as needed. Our goal is to work towards a future in which refugee communities, civil society, States, UNHCR and other actors collaborate effectively towards the common purpose of protection.
