Regional Livelihoods Workshop Announcement
Learn, Share, Network
WHAT:
A workshop for UN, international and local NGO staff working on economic
and gender-based violence programs (enterprise development, vocational
training, skills development, micro-finance, agriculture, cash and food
for work programs, etc) with displaced and returning populations.
WHEN:
May 12 - 14, 2009
WHERE:
Accra, Ghana
WHO:
UN and NGO economic programming managers and practitioners from
throughout the West Africa region working with displaced and returning
populations. The workshop will be limited to 35 participants.
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 workshop designed to bring
practitioners from throughout the region to learn new techniques, share
experiences, and collect tools designed to improve 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.
