CONTEXTE OPERATIONNEL | |||||
UNHCR Rwanda’slong-term vision aims that by 2030 “All refugees in Rwanda, including potentialnew influx, are living safe, dignified and productive lives across the countryoutside of camps and supported by government-led services and programmes.” Thiswould mean some refugees are resettled, some may have returned home, whilethose who remain in Rwanda live in former refugee camps-turned-villages, somein urban areas, and all are included on par with nationals in developmentplanning. The long-term vision is aligned with the inclusive 2030 Agenda forSustainable Development which has a principled commitment that ‘no one will beleft behind.’ The study aims at providing factual and objective information on refugee mobilityincluding cross-border movement to the country of origin for livelihoods,family ties, social interaction, community relationship, and health andeducation purposes among others. Findings will be helpful to identifyappropriate options for durable solutions particularly self-reliance andvoluntary repatriation in the context of shrinking resettlement opportunities. This information could also form the basis of future discussions with theGovernment of Rwanda, UNHCR Leadership in the relevant country operations(e.g., DRC, Regional office/Kenya) and HQ for facilitating and support durablesolutions including voluntary and spontaneous return to DRC. Global research showsthat, ‘many refugees, who in theory do have the right to work, are unable tointegrate into the local economy due to linguistic, social, political andcultural barriers. This is particularly the case for women refugees. In case ofthe Congolese Refugees living in the camps in Rwanda, there is also an issue ofreluctance by them to choose local integration pathway to be settled in Rwanda. |
