FilmAid uses films that are both educational and entertaining to draw audiences’ attention to subjects of vital concern to their health and well-being.

BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

The challenges faced by refugees and displaced populations in finding decent economic opportunities have been subject to growing attention in UNHCR operations, across regions. Efforts to strengthen the organisation’s understanding of refugee livelihoods and capacity to deliver adequate support have started and/or are presently ongoing in Yemen, Egypt, Malaysia, Morocco, Bangladesh and Armenia, to name a few. Other operations have flagged their interest in boosting their activities in this area in 2009, including Jordan, India, Nairobi, and several countries in West Africa.

The national, legal and policy environment in reviewed countries places varying degrees of restrictions on refugees' right to work. In spite of these, refugees use many strategies to generate income, mostly through daily labouring jobs in the informal sector. The initial assets that refugees can rely on - such as their skills, access to financial capital, physical health - are critical in widening their options to access safe and productive work or engage in income generating activities. In many cases however, these assets are either insufficient from the start, or have been eroded by years of displacement. Consequently, a significant proportion of refugees including women and children are exposed to various forms of economic exploitation, and to arrest and detention.

Nairobi, as one of the pilot cities for the implementation of the UNHCR urban policy (2009), has a population of some 3.5 million inhabitants, which includes a known (i.e. registered) refugee population of 50,000 refugees, in addition to unregistered refugees and migrants. The urban refugee population is comprised of Somalis, Ethiopians, Eritreans, and nationals of countries from the Great Lakes region (Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Burundi).

The majority of refugees have to some extent succeeded in meeting basic needs without direct assistance. However, the level of self-sufficiency is low (cutting on expenses such as education fees) and mechanisms are fragile, with a numbers of refugees engaged in exploitative schemes. Projects implemented so far, aiming at building refugees’ capacity, have evident constraints and limits. General lack of access to work permits (despite legal provisions) hinders refugees’ access to the official employment market. The identification of needs and livelihood opportunities will enable UNHCR and its partners to design a relevant strategy and programme that will help build or expand refugees’ capacity to eventually sustain themselves in a more predictable manner.

PURPOSE

To define a baseline of quality socio-economic data through a consultative process, and inform the design of a comprehensive livelihood strategy in support of durable solutions and protection for populations of concern.

SCOPE AND FOCUS

The assessment to be undertaken will be conducted in regard to the policy environment and social or political processes that enable or inhibit access to work and other livelihood opportunities; diversity in the refugee population, in terms of their socio-economic status, i.e. the livelihood assets and strategies that households and individual men and women use to survive; the protection challenges persons of concern face in the urban and peri-urban settlements.

Institutions and programmes that support or can potentially support livelihood development and create economic opportunities in the hosting areas also need to be identified.

The assessment will cover persons of concern settled in a minimum of three to five locations throughout Nairobi, including urban and peri-urban locations. The locations must be representative of the urban refugee population with regard to the diversity of nationalities, wealth groups and livelihoods strategies.

Information on local communities residing in assessment target-areas will be sought through secondary sources and key informants.

EXPECTED OUTPUTS

Assessment – livelihood baseline:

Together with the lead consultant define and field test the methodology for assessment and strategy formulation.

Activities:

The local consultant, with the support of the lead consultant and OSTS/Livelihoods team, will ensure the livelihood assessment is a consultative process involving the participation and contribution of a Multi Functional Team from UNHCR Kenya office, representatives of the refugee community, the host community and the public and the private sector, as well as relevant organizations such as UNHCR’s Implementing Partners (IP) and Community Organizations (COs). The assessment methodology will draw on established standard approaches, preferably the Household Economy methodology, and will refer to guidance provided by OSTS/Livelihoods and to the Minimum Economic Recovery Standards (SEEP, 2010 edition), and will use the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework as the main analytical framework of analysis.

Preparatory activities:

• Assist in establishing links for Institutional mapping of relevant organizations and institutions (to be carried out predominantly by Field Office staff, in collaboration with consultant), highlighting what organizations are doing and for whom, including both existing and planned programmes that could be directly or indirectly support refugee livelihoods.

• Assist in establishing links for Key informant interviews (relevant stakeholders from local/national institutions related to training, employment, finance, enterprise, agriculture, etc; community leaders; knowledgeable persons in the communities; representatives of trade groups, cooperatives, and special interest groups; UNHCR staff members; staff from partner organizations).

• Organize for a series of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) as defined by the lead consultant.

• Incorporating an age, gender and diversity lens in the research, analysis and recommendations

• Ensuring recommended interventions empower refugee communities

• Building on what is already being done by UNHCR and partners, where relevant
