The Women's Refugee Commission will be conducting three livelihood workshops this year in West Africa, East Africa and Asia. The first one will be a three-day, highly participatory regional livelihoods workshop in Accra, Ghana from May 12-14, 2009 designed to bring practitioners from throughout the region to learn new techniques, share experiences, and collect tools designed to improve economic programming practice on the ground. Two days of the workshop will focus on findings from the Women's Refugee Commission's three-year research project on livelihoods in refugee, IDP, and returnee settings and will include practice sessions on usage of the newly released Livelihoods Field Manual. The third day of the workshop will cover findings on the Commission's project on livelihoods as a tool of protection against gender-based violence and how GBV and livelihood programs should complement each other to better protect women. Participants will be required to cover their own travel expenses. Meals and materials will be provided. Participants attending from local NGOs can apply for financial assistance for partial coverage of travel and hotel expenses. *To request an application or for any questions, please contact Sonali at* [log in to unmask] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Note: The material contained in this communication comes to you from the Forced Migration Discussion List which is moderated by the Refugee Studies Centre (RSC), Oxford Department of International Development, University of Oxford.
