The Ecuador Conflict Sensitivity Analysis highlights the growing impact of violence on the protection of vulnerable populations and the need for strategic humanitarian interventions. Developed by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) with the support of local partners, this study provides a detailed assessment of the current context and offers key recommendations for strengthening response and assistance.

For the past five years, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and the IKEA Foundation have been solving this challenge through the Re:BUiLD (Refugees in East Africa: Boosting Urban Innovations for Livelihoods Development) program. In partnership with the IKEA Foundation, Re:BUiLD brings together the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the Center for Global Development (CGD), Open Capital (OCA), Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) and Nairobi City County Government (NCCG). Re:BUiLD is committed to generate and share evidence for innovative, sustainable livelihood solutions that can be adopted to support refugees and host residents in other cities in East Africa and beyond.

This World Refugee Day, we examine the pressing challenges that refugees face around the world and consider how we can address them.
