analysis: The text discusses the durable solutions to refugee situations, focusing on voluntary repatriation, local integration, and resettlement. It emphasizes the importance of linking refugee aid to development assistance and ensuring that development agencies contribute to durable solutions. The text highlights the need for coordination between international organizations, governments, and non-governmental organizations to achieve these goals. Given the focus on development assistance, refugee aid, and international cooperation, I hypothesize that the most fitting category is Humanitarian aid and relief, with a possible overlap with International cooperation.
