Guidance for Nonformal Education and Livelihoods Development Policy and Practice
Displaced youth have historically fallen through the cracks of humanitarian services and programming. This report, based on a multiyear (2008–2011), multicountry advocacy research project, provides guidance for humanitarian policy and practice on youth education and livelihoods.
New York City is home to resettled refugee and asylee youth from many countries. This report looks at the education, skills training and employment opportunities they were able to participate in while they were displaced and once they arrived in United States.
The Women’s Refugee Commission partnered with Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) to develop introductory training materials to accompany the Market Assessment Toolkit for Vocational Training Providers and Youth. Our new “Step-by-Step Introduction to the Market Assessment Toolkit” offers guidance on how to use and adapt the toolkit efficiently and effectively in any conflict or post-conflict setting.
