5: Strategic Goal 5
providing Humanitarian assistance
Stakeholder(s):
- Department of Homeland Security: Homeland Security is responsible for refugee adjudications for resettlement into the United States and for admitting such
individuals upon arrival. Our Homeland Security colleagues also provide the technical expertise on migration related matters
for U.S. Government involvement in regional migration dialogues.
- Department of Health and Human Services: Health and Human Services is a key partner in international emergency and refugee health issues, particularly through the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s work with the UN and other humanitarian partners.
- Department of Defense: Defense plays an important role in efforts to mobilize large-scale logistical support in humanitarian emergencies; to stabilize
countries affected by conflict, including providing security for the provision of humanitarian assistance; and to provide
humanitarian assistance in environments so insecure that civilian agencies are not able to operate.
