In January, RefugePoint was invited on behalf of the RSRI present the Self-Reliance Index at a meeting of the Regional Durable Solutions Secretariat (ReDSS) in Nairobi, Kenya. The session was on “Measuring self-reliance and local integration,” and it was organized to inform annual planning for core members of the ReDSS network. Mary Wangui, RefugePoint’s Training Manager, and Walter Gitau, RefugePoint’s Senior Officer of Monitoring and Evaluation, presented an overview of the Self-Reliance Index and lessons learned from RefugePoint’s experience piloting the tool with urban refugees in Nairobi. Other participants at the meeting included the Danish Refugee Council, Norwegian Refugee Council, International Rescue Committee, Concern Worldwide, Care International, UNHCR, Reach/Impact, Mercy Corps, and World Vision.
