The report discusses the impacts of microfinance, GSL, vocational and diploma/certificate courses on the lives of refugees and locals. What can be concluded is that often, successful beneficiaries feel that the contribution of the program to an improvement of their household livelihood has been considerable. Also, the injection of financial and human resources has contributed to some extent to improved economic conditions in the camps in general. Yet, these programs by and large do not reach the poor sections of the population and their overall impacts remain minor. In fact, there is evidence that privately funded initiatives produce better results.
