ProjectEnhancing Socio-Economic Integration of Refugees and Host Communities in Refugee Hosting Areas of Ethiopia - UNJP/ETH/106/HCR 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Ethiopia has a long tradition of hosting refugees who have fled conflicts and Ethiopia has a long tradition of hosting refugees who have fled conflicts and droughts in some of its neighbouring countries, and continues to maintain an open-door policy for refugees and asylum seekers in its territory. As a result of the constant influx of refugees and asylum seekers in recent years, the country’s five major refugee hosting areas (grouped into three clusters: Benishangul-Gumuz/Gambella, Tigray/Afar and Somali), which are usually underdeveloped and economically underserved, have suffered from the additional pressure on their natural resources, basic social services and infrastructure. In addition, the current state of agriculture investments in these regions does not guarantee sustainable livelihoods for refugees or their hosting communities. Against this background, FAO and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Ethiopia initiated collaboration on a joint project to generate evidence through the analysis of food security, agricultural and livestock livelihoods situations, and the needs of refugees and their host communities in the three main refugee hosting areas of Ethiopia, in order to inform the development of joint initiatives aimed at refugee and host community economic inclusion. -
ProjectReinforcing Social Cohesion and Peace in Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia - UNO/LIR/021/MIL 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Along the border of Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia, many communities are ethnically and politically divided. Land is at the heart of social, political and economic life, which makes land disputes and other related issues even more challenging. Tensions and conflict in Liberia, as well as the civil war, created an unstable scenario, where marginalized people increasingly take to demonstrating in cities, and roadblocks and even violence are becoming more common. Within this context, FAO, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) developed this project to promote the stabilization and cohesion of 10 communities along the Côte d’Ivoire-Liberia borders in Grand Gedeh and Nimba counties. The project focused on implementing joint sociocultural and economic activities and identifying the main drivers of conflict in concession areas and communities that rely on natural resources. -

The evaluation supports both accountability and learning by providing an independent assessment of the extent to which planned collective objectives have been met, as well as the project’s contribution to its intended peacebuilding objectives. It also aims at drawing lessons and recommendations to inform future projects. The evaluation used a consultative and participatory approach involving all project stakeholders throughout the process. Mixed methods, such as a desk review, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs) and field observations were used to collect information in Bong and Lofa county.
