Interested in joining a network of like-minded people involved in
refugee livelihoods?
The UNHCR Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit (EPAU) has initiated an
email list-serve on livelihoods and would like to invite you to
participate. If interested, keep reading....
The email listserve will include a network of practitioners and
researchers with a common interest in refugee livelihoods and
self-reliance issues. The purpose of the network will be to exchange
ideas and lessons learned, to keep members abreast of current
initiatives and to provide an opportunity for learning and inter-agency
cooperation. By collecting and disseminating various types of
information, the network will be used to facilitate knowledge on
livelihood strategies and activities of refugees and IDPs. Furthermore,
it hopes to foster exchange on the ways in which those strategies can
be supported by humanitarian and development agencies.
The list is easy to join and will be maintained by staff in the
Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit in Geneva, in collaboration with
Jeff Crisp, head of the unit.
Please feel free to pass this information on to others who may be
interested. If interested we ask that you send a message to Carrie
Conway ([log in to unmask]), briefly (in a few sentences) describing your
interest and experience in livelihood issues and what you would hope to
get out of this listserve.
For your convenience we aim keep the email traffic to a minimum and plan
to send out one message per week! Watch for the first posting which is
expected to be sent out in mid July.
