CIDE has played an active role in relief projects in Azerbaijan where more than 1.2 million internal refugees are located as a result of the Nagorno Karabach problem. The most significant project has been the establishment of 518 small hard-structure schools in the refugee camps, distribution of tens of thousands of books, and distribution of clothes. CIDE is engaged in a research study of minority education policies in Azerbaijan and Iran, funded by the Black and Caspian Sea Collaborative Research Program. UCLA staff are serving as UNICEF consultants in working toward national curriculum reform.

Relief International
|
|
RELIEF INTERNATIONAL is a humanitarian, non-profit and non-sectarian agency providing emergency relief, rehabilitation, and development assistance to victims of natural disasters and civil conflicts worldwide. RI's programs bridge the gap between immediate emergency relief and long-term community development, through innovative programming that is multi-sectoral and grassroots-based. This orientation promotes self-reliance and the peaceful reintegration of populations. RI's programs are designed with the input and participation of target beneficiary groups such as women, children and the elderly, whose special needs are often neglected in disasters.
