With support from the Bureau for Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM) at the U.S. Department of State, and in collaboration with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Women’s Refugee Commission is conducting a one-year study to understand the economic coping strategies, protection concerns and local economic environment of urban displacement. Through desk research, assessments in Kampala, New Delhi and Johannesburg, and in consultation with forced migrants about their own needs, the project will develop operational guidance aimed at enhancing the economic security and protection of the urban displaced.
This report focuses on key findings from a March/April 2011 field assessment conducted in Johannesburg, in partnership with the African Centre for Migration and Society (ACMS) at the University of the Witwatersrand.
