This report synthesises research from four case studies and extends the analysis to consider common themes. It explores how Central African, Rohingya and Syrian refugees sustain themselves in Cameroon, Malaysia, Turkey and Jordan, analysing the policy implications of refugees’ livelihoods objectives, strategies, actions and outcomes. It also considers the formal and informal institutions, networks and actors that shape the livelihoods risks and opportunities for refugees. The report identifies the ways in which the lives and livelihoods of refugees residing outside camps in protracted displacement can be better supported.
