UNHCR works to increase the self-reliance of refugee communities
by promoting practical support for food security and new skill
development.
Australian donors have funded income generation projects such as
a commercial greenhouse and stone processing plant in Georgia and
agricultural projects in camps along the Thai-Myanmar border, as
well as funding IDP support associations in Colombia, offering the
displaced community effective legal protection and supporting their
local integration and self-reliance through micro-enterprise
programs.
