Country Profiles

The Cultural Orientation Programme also publishes Country Profiles on the largest Norway-bound quota refugee groups. Country Profiles include pictures and information for example on:

  • Country of origin of the refugees (e.g. history, conflict and reasons of flight, some cultural aspects, ethnic groups, political and economic situation, educational system, health care)
  • Transit country / first country of asylum (e.g. refugee policies of the transit country, living conditions, services available and integration possibilities in the transit country)
  • Links and references for further reading
  • Information about the CO Programme

The Country Profiles are meant to be reader friendly and provide in a compact format the key information to anyone who is interested in knowing more about the Norway-bound quota refugees. You are free to download and print the country profiles from this website.
