Summary of Why Matching Matters: Improving Outcomes in Refugee Sponsorship and Complementary Pathways
Where and with whom refugees are matched in community sponsorship and complementary pathway programs matter a great deal.

These authors consider how community sponsorship and resettlement programs can be improved by utilizing technology
that facilitates a more effective matching system by considering refugees’ characteristics, skills, and needs.
