Launched by the International Rescue Committee and the IKEA Foundation, Re:BUiLD is one of the largest private investments (€30 Million) for urban refugee livelihoods in East Africa. Our target was to reach 20,000 urban refugees and host community members — including women, men, and young people in Kampala and Nairobi. We have exceeded this target, reaching 20,378 clients and achieving an impressive 104% of our goal.
The Re:BUiLD program operates under three main pillars:
Our Approach
|
1 Supporting our existing client base of 20,378 refugees and host community members to find employment by attaining skills most sought out by employers, or by starting/growing their own small businesses |
2 Gathering evidence and learning through testing with randomized control trials, pilots, monitoring data, etc. to illustrate what works to improve urban livelihoods |
3 Establishing a bold influencing agenda aimed at changing policies, practices and investments at national, regional and global levels |
