All training sessions are based on the training manual developed by ACCORD and COI Network partners. Understanding of COICOI is understood as information used in procedures that assess claims of individuals to refugee status or other forms of international protection. It should help to answer questions by decision-makers and legal advisers about the political, human rights, cultural, economic and social situation as well as the humanitarian situation in countries of origin. |
