WHAT:  A workshop for economic and gender-based violence staff from 
governments, donor agencies, and NGOs working in Sudan to acquire 
knowledge and hands-on skills necessary to implement and evaluate 
economic and household energy programs that will reduce displaced 
women’s vulnerability to gender-based violence.  The workshop is limited 
to 25 participants.

WHEN:   March 2-5, 2010

WHERE: Juba, Sudan

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 returning 
refugees and the internally displaced in Sudan.

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 approaches and protection strategies for designing safe 
and self-reliant livelihood and household interventions.

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 refugee, 
IDP, and returnee 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.

WORKSHOP FEE: There is No fee for this workshop.  Participants will be 
required to cover their own travel expenses, including board.
