The purpose of this Working Group is to explore and further develop settlement sector standards to enhance the delivery of services to immigrants and refugees. In order to attain this objective, four major outcomes have been identified. They include: increased sectoral recognition and consensus on national settlement service standards; increased sectoral recognition and consensus on a national settlement service standards framework; improved sectoral communication and capacity on best/promising practices; and improved sectoral profile on service impacts and standards.
