We were founded by Patricia Feeney and Tom Kenny in 1997, while they worked with the Refugee Studies Centre, Queen Elizabeth House, University of Oxford.

In September 2003, we became a fully independent organisation.

We are run by Patricia Feeney, who undertakes research and advocacy work internationally. RAID’s Senior Research Consultant is Tom Kenny.
