FMR 20, Sustainable livelihoods: seeds of success?
The May 2004 issue of Forced Migration Review, on refugee and IDP livelihoods,
has just been published. As the number of uprooted people in the world
continues to rise, the international community faces mounting challenges on
how best to assist refugees in need. Understanding people’s livelihood
strategies is a prerequisite to assisting them. The articles in FMR 20 discuss
the issues at stake, examine agency strategies and refugees’ experiences, and
present lessons learned and examples of good practice.
It has been produced in collaboration with UNHCR’s Evaluation and Policy
Analysis Unit and sponsored by World Vision Canada.
FMR 20 also includes articles on forced migrants in Russia, treatment of
women asylum seekers in Australian detention centres, IDPs in Sri Lanka, and
the national and international response to internal displacement.
