The right and access to decent work are key contributors to building self-reliance and strengthening resilience. Through UNHCR’s “Global strategy for livelihoods” for 2014- 2018, new approaches have been introduced to enable self-reliance among refugees and other persons of concern to UNHCR. This paper provides an overview of efforts undertaken and of achievements and challenges in allowing refugees and other persons of concern to live productive lives, contribute meaningfully to their host communities and prepare for durable solutions.
