Dear all,
The Women’s Refugee Commission with support from the U.S. Department of
State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration is conducting a
participatory four-day national-level workshop on operationalizing
protection into livelihood and household energy programs for displaced
populations in Ethiopia. The workshop is aimed at staff from
governments, donor agencies, and NGOs working in Ethiopia.
A lack of safe access to household energy and insufficient livelihoods
options are key sources of vulnerability to gender-based violence,
particularly among displaced and conflict-affected populations. As such,
this workshop will engage participants in developing market-oriented,
context-specific strategies for safe, self-reliant livelihood programs
and in the design and implementation of safe and appropriate household
energy interventions based on the new IASC guidance.
Participants will become familiar with best practices identified and
developed from the Women’s Refugee Commission’s long-standing research
projects on livelihoods and household energy programming in humanitarian
settings. In order to facilitate participants’ operationalization of
safe livelihoods and household energy programs as a tool of protection,
the workshop will include practice sessions, adapt participant project
work plans, and develop a joint action plan to support collaboration and
coordination between participants. Participants will have continued
access to the Women’s Refugee Commission’s technical staff for technical
support through 2011.
WHEN: April 27 – 30, 2010
WHERE: Addis, Ethiopia
FEE: There is no fee for this workshop. Participants will be required
to cover their own travel expenses, including board.
The deadline for application is April 12th, 2010.
