Guidelines Livelihoods in Migration and Displacement contexts
Guidelines Livelihoods in Migration and Displacement contexts

Migrants and displaced populations are often ill-protected from economic shocks and are therefore particularly vulnerable in crisis, as with the COVID19 pandemic.

The aim of these guidelines is to support Red Cross and Red Crescent (RCRC) staff, volunteers, and technical practitioners working in different contexts of migration and displacement to design, review and organise livelihood interventions.

The guidelines include potential impacts on the livelihoods assets of migrants and displaced persons, response options, cross-cutting issues (Targeting and Community Engagement and Accountability (CEA), Protection, gender and inclusion (PGI), and Social cohesion) and cases examples.

This guidance is informed by years of lessons learned from the RCRC Movement’s work in livelihoods support in different humanitarian settings, yet it provides only a brief insight into what is being done at the country/ National Society (NS) level. For further understanding, references to key resources are included throughout the document. 

These guidelines are available in English, French and Spanish.
