The overall effect of refugees on household well-being in host communities is predominantly positive with very few studies finding a negative effect on household well-being.
The research on social protection in forced displacement showed relatively good coverage of gender gaps and constraints, highlighting how support was not equally accessible to displaced men and women.
This program is a partnership between the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the World Bank, with the objective of improving global knowledge on forced displacement.
The FCV collection contains 1,234 datasets of multiple types and sources, and reproducible code, intended to support analytical work for research and operations on issues related to forced displacement, food insecurity, and other aspects of fragility and conflicts.
As violent conflict surges, refugee crises are growing more protracted. Host governments are leading the way to help both refugees and hosts thrive, as the international community comes together to forge a better way to share this responsibility.
Our program is supporting 24 post-doctoral researchers with a one-year fellowship to study forced displacement situations, and strengthen research which can help design projects, programs, and policies to mitigate the consequences of forced displacement.
