UNHCR Livelihood

There are about 6,219 refugees and asylum seekers resident in four refugee camps in the country: Ampain and Krisan camps in the Western Region, Egyeikrom in the Central Region, and Fetentaa in the Bono Region. 

Since 2015, 3 years after the World Food Program’s food ration came to an end in the 4 refugee camps, ADRA Ghana, with funding from UNHCR, has been assisting refugees to undertake various livelihood activities. The goal of this project is to increase self-reliance and improve the livelihoods of refugees in the camps.

 The overall objective of the project is to facilitate and support refugees in livelihood and economic activities to increase their incomes and food security to:
        • Reduce their vulnerabilities; 
        • Support them to diversify and increase their sources of income; 
        • Facilitate their access to the labour market; and 
        • Create an enabling environment for livelihoods in the host communitie
