Description

Scope
The International Rescue Committee has been inmplementing a program focused on urban refugees in Nairobi since 2006. The multisectoral program (from 2006-2009) was focused on creating a protective environment for the urban refugees by strengthening pro bono legal support for refugees and awareness creation for various stakeholders including police, judiciary and local elders. The program also supported survivors of GBV by psychsocial counseling, vocational training and community awareness campaigns. Community organization among refugees was strengthened through group formation/ strengthening and these groups were then supported with training and funding to take up group livelihood initiatives (including fgood preparation, bakery, tailoring units, pettey shops, savings and credit activities etc).
