Description
Summary:The authors find that current policies, including cash transfers and food vouchers, are effective in reducing poverty, but fail to lead to - nor are they designed to yield - economic inclusion and self-reliance. Those goals would require a different humanitarian and development paradigm, one that focuses on growth policies for areas affected by refugees where the target population has a mix of refugees and hosting populations. This volume is the result of the first comprehensive collaboration between the World Bank Group and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and aims to better understand and ultimately improve the well-being of Syrian refugees living in Jordan and Lebanon. -- Provided by publisher.
