@wrcommission @IIED 💻 Join us this Wed, Oct. 30, for Part 1 of a webinar dialogue series on refugee #selfreliance, in which panelists will discuss this co-authored paper and the merits & shortfalls of a self-reliance approach to refugee programming in urban contexts: https://t.co/hEN5jsnoAN (2/2)

[Refugee Self-Reliance Initiative @RefugeeSRI]

📰 In a recent dialogue, Kellie Leeson (@wrcommission) and Boel McAteer (@IIED) elaborate on empirical examples of self-reliance programs as either beneficial or counterproductive to achieving genuine self-reliance in urban settings. Read the paper: https://t.co/afVtBSjG1k (1/2)

It’s the Global Refugee Forum in Geneva this week. Can we use the platforms (finally) made available to discuss urban refugees to shift the stereotypes about who they are, their needs for assistance and their right to settle in cities? https://t.co/KcfUeNXvSz

[Lucy Earle @lucyurbanearle]

Check out the new photostory from @IIED’s team working on forced displacement. We interviewed 8 Somali women refugees whose paths diverged after they reached Kenya. Read their stories from the camp and the city here: https://t.co/aVik49CQu0

“This photo inspired me to work on displacement and disabilities,” Peter said, “because I wondered how people would get up the steps.”

BRIEFING: City planning with displaced communities: the benefits of inclusion --> https://t.co/qg1fEE4d71

Camps are not the choice of the majority of the world’s displaced people. Estimates suggest that over 60% of #refugees & half of internally displaced persons live in cities.
