Forced Migration Review issue 20
In collaboration with the Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit of UNHCR, the
feature section of the April 2004 issue will focus on refugee and IDP
livelihoods.
In keeping with FMR’s objective of publishing practice-oriented articles,
authors should give prominence to policy implications, lessons learned and
recommendations for replication of good practice. We invite submissions of
articles focusing on:
- the relative effectiveness of different livelihoods interventions,
including, for example, support to refugee agriculture, microfinance
programmes, income-generating projects, vocational training, food for work
etc.
- examples of effective and ineffective practice in relation to the promotion
of refugee livelihoods
- listening to the livelihoods needs/aspirations of refugees/IDPs
- potential for enhanced inter-agency partnership in the promotion of refugee
livelihoods
- the extent to which UNHCR and other actors have contributed to or
constrained the establishment of refugee livelihoods
- development of a methodology for the analysis, evaluation and monitoring of
refugee livelihoods
- issues of gender, age and physical capacity (including the impact of the
HIV/AIDS on refugee livelihoods)
- the relationship between refugee livelihoods and UNHCR’s protection mandate
Articles should be no more than 3,000 words in length and follow the
guidelines at http://www.fmreview.org/2writing.htm.
Deadline for submissions: 1 February 2004. To submit an abstract or article,
