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).
