Data and analysis is an essential component to policy. Global Rights Defenders prides themselves as research experts committed to understanding barriers to socio-economic integration. Currently, we are leading a research project at Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya to understand some of those barriers and to inform global audiences.
Need for Advocacy
Given the challenges, there is a need for international actors to advocate for economic inclusion and livelihoods of displaced populations. Global Rights Defenders advocacy efforts will be rooted in context-specific strategies and evidence-based information garnered through our research, to demonstrate the positive impact that economic integration can have on displaced populations, host societies, and the global GDP.
