Promoting livelihoods of forcibly displaced persons and host communities

The project will focus on developing a set of tools to promote sustainable livelihoods for refugees and host communities and test these tools and their applicability in one selected country, in cooperation with a running project of ILO and if possible with synergies to a project of the German development cooperation. In doing so, the project will apply a push-pull approach to livelihoods promotion. The push-pull approach is based on the assumption that, in order for people to build sustainable livelihoods two conditions need to be fulfilled: • There need to be opportunities on the market, either for self-employment if a certain good or service is demanded on the market, or for salaried employment if employers are looking for employees to recruit • People need the necessary skills and competencies to exploit these existing opportunities.
