Employability of Graduates from International Development Studies Programs at Canadian Universities L'employabilité des diplômés des programmes d'études du développement international offerts dans les universités canadiennes This project addresses the lack of quantitative and qualitative employment data for students who graduate from Canadian university programs in international development studies (IDS) at the undergraduate and graduate levels. There are two important consequences for IDS programs: -their ability to prepare students for future employment and citizenship activities cannot be effectively evaluated -IDS curriculums are being designed without this information Understanding career paths The number of IDS graduates in Canada is far greater than the availability of paid positions in the development sector (i.e., aid agencies, NGOs, and multilateral institutions). There is little data on how IDS graduates are using their degrees in academia and other fields outside the development sector. These include journalism, teaching, health, community services, law, and volunteer work, both in Canada and overseas. Knowledge to shape learning This study will collect and analyze longitudinal data on employment choices and pathways for different groups who have received IDS degrees in Canada. It will document the fit between their university training and the skills needed to perform their job, and seek their feedback for adjustments needed to current IDS curriculums. The goal is to obtain data on a large and representative sample of graduates from Canadian IDS programs. Some of these graduates may have held degrees in IDS for up to 40 years and will have a wealth of job experience. Others will be recent graduates with a more limited record of employment. Project leadership and results The Canadian Consortium of University Programs in International Development Studies (CCUPIDS) is coordinating the study. They will share findings through peer-reviewed journal articles and conference presentations to professionals in the field of development studies in Canada and internationally. Ce projet vise à combler le manque de données quantitatives et qualitatives sur l'emploi chez les diplômés d'un programme de premier cycle et des cycles supérieurs d'études du développement international (ÉDI) dans une université canadienne. Le manque de données a deux conséquences importantes pour les programmes d'ÉDI : -il est impossible d'évaluer efficacement la capacité de ces programmes à préparer les étudiants à leur future vie professionnelle et à l'engagement citoyen. -les programmes d'ÉDI sont conçus sans tenir compte de cette information. Comprendre les cheminements de carrière Au Canada, le nombre de diplômés d'ÉDI est de loin supérieur au nombre de postes rémunérés dans le secteur du développement (c.-à-d. organismes d'aide, ONG et institutions multilatérales). Les quelques renseignements sur la façon dont ces diplômés se servent de leur formation dans le milieu universitaire et dans des domaines autres que celui du développement indiquent qu'ils optent, notamment, pour le journalisme, l'enseignement, la santé, les services communautaires, le droit et le bénévolat, tant au Canada qu'à l'étranger. Savoir pour moduler l'apprentissage Cette étude recueillera et analysera des données longitudinales sur les débouchés et les cheminements de carrière qui s'offrent aux différents groupes qui ont reçu un diplôme en développement international au Canada. Elle permettra de documenter l'adéquation entre la formation universitaire des diplômés et les compétences requises pour effectuer leur travail, et invitera ces diplômés à proposer des modifications aux programmes d'études actuels en développement international. L'objectif est d'obtenir des données auprès d'un large échantillon représentatif des diplômés en développement international d'universités canadiennes. Certains des diplômés, qui ont achevé leurs ÉDI il y a 40 ans, ont une riche expérience de travail. D'autres, qui sont frais et moulus de l'université, ont un parcours d'emploi beaucoup plus court. Direction du projet et résultats L'Association canadienne d'études du développement international coordonne l'étude. Les conclusions en seront diffusées par la publication d'articles dans des revues scientifiques à comité de lecture et des conférences s'adressant aux professionnels du domaine des études du développement au Canada et ailleurs dans le monde.
Donor networking and private sector initiatives Initiatives du secteur privé et de réseautage des bailleurs de fonds The project will enable IDRC to participate as a full member in the Donor Committee on Enterprise Development (DCED). DCED is a donor forum for learning about the most effective ways of creating economic opportunities and jobs for the poor, based on practical experience in private sector development as well as on domestic policy innovations worldwide. Working in collaboration with the International Finance Corporation, IDRC will network and gather intelligence on the activities of various DCED members by participating in thematic working groups for current and prospective programming. This will enable IDRC to strengthen knowledge sharing, solidify donor contacts, maintain visibility, and seek opportunities for collaboration with the donor community engaged in private sector development. Ce projet permettra au CRDI de participer au Comité des donateurs pour le développement de l’entreprise (CDDE) en tant que membre à part entière. Le CDDE est un forum de donateurs permettant d’en apprendre davantage sur les façons les plus efficaces de créer des occasions économiques et des emplois pour les pauvres, en fonction de l’expérience pratique dans le développement du secteur privé ainsi que des innovations en matière de politiques nationales dans le monde entier. En collaboration avec la Société financière internationale, le CRDI fera du réseautage et recueillera des renseignements sur les activités de divers membres du CDDE en participant à des groupes de travail thématique responsables des programmes actuels et à venir. Cela lui permettra de renforcer l’échange de connaissances, de solidifier ses relations avec les donateurs, de maintenir sa visibilité et de trouver des occasions de collaboration avec la communauté des bailleurs de fonds qui participe au développement du secteur privé.
DFID-IDRC Program in Support of the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences' Next Einstein Initiative Soutien à l'initiative Next Einstein de l'Institut Africain des Sciences Mathématiques (CRDI et DFID) IDRC is implementing the Government of Canada's $20 million contribution to expand the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences' Next Einstein Initiative (AIMS-NEI) network. The network provides rigorous mathematics training to post-graduate African students. The first AIMS Centre was established in Cape Town in 2003. Since that time, 412 students from 33 countries have graduated-one-third of them women. A large number of these graduates enter advanced master's and doctoral programs in fields such as computer science, environmental science, and nuclear physics. This project will provide funding for AIMS-NEI to offer enhanced training in applied mathematics to top African students, allowing them to pursue high quality postgraduate studies. The ultimate objective is to create future leaders who will contribute to the Africa's economic, political, and educational advancement. AIMS-NEI plans to establish 15 centres across the African continent by 2021 and to graduate 750 well-trained African students annually to take on leadership roles in academia, industry, and government. AIMS-NEI envisions that people of rare ability-Africa's own Einsteins-will emerge, capable of innovative breakthroughs that will transform Africa's prospects. IDRC's existing contribution is supporting the pre-existing centre in South Africa, and the establishment of three new centres in Senegal, Ghana, and Ethiopia by December 2015. The centres will also leverage additional funding. It was understood at the outset that Canada's contribution would be insufficient for AIMS-NEI's first phase and that additional funds would be needed. The UK Department for International Development (DFID) has committed up to $28.8 million over five years in support of AIMS-NEI. DFID will provide these funds on a match funding basis, as additional funds are raised. DFID's contribution will help establish and cover initial operating costs of two additional AIMS Centres in Tanzania and Benin. It will also provide funding for the AIMS Centres in South Africa, Senegal, Ghana, and Ethiopia. DFID's funding is helping to deepen and scale-up the existing IDRC contribution, making it more sustainable and increasing its impact. It is also adding value to AIMS-NEI by enhancing the ability of graduates to pursue private sector employment opportunities in key areas of development across the African continent. IDRC provided strategic advice to both AIMS-NEI and DFID to ensure that the DFID contribution would be complementary to, and build on, IDRC funding. AIMS-NEI, DFID, and IDRC all agreed that IDRC's role of providing strategic advice was a natural progression toward IDRC's responsibility for managing DFID's contribution. IDRC is managing DFID's contribution for the following reasons: - To ensure DFID and IDRC contributions are aligned and complementary; - To streamline AIMS-NEI oversight and reporting requirements; and, - To add further value to the program. IDRC is adding value to the program through a $2 million contribution. These funds will enhance postgraduate opportunities through research that will foster industry-research linkages and through IDRC African Research Chairs in fields such as mathematics, physics, or astronomy. Le CRDI administre l'apport de 20 millions de dollars du gouvernement du Canada à l'expansion du réseau de centre AIMS, l'objectif de l'initiative Next Einstein de l'Institut Africain des Sciences Mathématiques (AIMS-NEI). Les centres AIMS offrent une formation rigoureuse en mathématiques à des étudiants africains des cycles supérieurs. Le premier centre AIMS a vu le jour au Cap en 2003. Depuis, 412 étudiants de 33 pays, dont le tiers était des femmes, ont été formés. Une grande partie de ces diplômés se sont ensuite inscrits à des programmes avancés de maîtrise ou de doctorat dans des domaines tels que l'informatique, les sciences de l'environnement et la physique nucléaire. Ce projet versera des fonds à AIMS-NEI pour permettre aux centres AIMS d'offrir une formation poussée en mathématiques appliquées à de brillants étudiants africains, afin qu'ils puissent poursuivre des études supérieures de grande qualité. L'objectif ultime est de créer de futurs chefs de file qui contribueront au progrès de l'Afrique sur les plans de l'économie, de la politique et de l'éducation. AIMS-NEI espère, d'ici 2021, établir 15 centres AIMS sur tout le continent africain et décerner chaque année 750 diplômes à des étudiants africains dûment formés, qui deviendront un jour des chefs de file dans le monde universitaire, dans l'industrie et dans l'administration publique en Afrique. L'initiative a pour but de révéler des talents exceptionnels - des Einstein africains -, capables d'innovations et de percées technologiques qui transformeront les perspectives d'avenir du continent. L'apport actuel du CRDI appuie le centre qui existe déjà en Afrique du Sud et la création de trois nouveaux centres au Sénégal, au Ghana et en Éthiopie d'ici décembre 2015. Ces fonds devraient également servir de levier pour l'obtention de fonds d'autres sources. Il était acquis dès le départ que l'apport du Canada n'arriverait pas à financer au complet la première phase d'AIMS-NEI et qu'il faudrait trouver des fonds supplémentaires. Le Department for International Development (DFID) du Royaume-Uni s'est engagé à verser jusqu'à 28,8 millions de dollars sur cinq ans; il s'agira de fonds de contrepartie qu'on versera au fur et à mesure qu'on recueillera des fonds supplémentaires. L'apport du DFID aidera à créer deux nouveaux centres, en Tanzanie et au Bénin, et à payer leurs coûts d'exploitation initiaux. Il servira également à financer les centres AIMS sis en Afrique du Sud, au Sénégal, au Ghana et en Éthiopie. Le financement du DFID vient compléter et étoffer l'apport actuel du CRDI, accroissant ainsi sa durabilité et son impact. Il ajoute aussi de la valeur à AIMS-NEI en renforçant les capacités des diplômés de se trouver un emploi dans le secteur privé, dans des domaines de développement clés, à l'échelle du continent africain. Le CRDI a prodigué des conseils stratégiques tant à AIMS-NEI qu'au DFID pour s'assurer que l'apport de ce dernier fasse fond sur le financement du CRDI et qu'elle le complète. AIMS-NEI, le DFID et le CRDI ont tous convenu que ce fut un préalable naturel à la responsabilité confiée au CRDI de gérer l'apport du DFID. Le CRDI gère l'apport du DFID pour les raisons suivantes : - pour veiller à ce que les apports du DFID et du CRDI soient harmonisés et complémentaires; - pour simplifier le suivi et l'établissement rapports; - pour ajouter encore plus de valeur à AIMS-NEI. Le CRDI ajoute de la valeur à AIMS-NEI grâce à un apport supplémentaire de deux millions de dollars. Cette somme a pour but d'améliorer les perspectives d'emploi des diplômés d'AIMS-NEI en appuyant ces derniers dans l'exécution de recherches susceptibles de favoriser l'établissement de liens entre l'industrie et les chercheurs et en créant des chaires de recherche du CRDI en Afrique dans des domaines tels que les mathématiques, la physique et l'astronomie.
Leveraging Mobile Network Big Data for Developmental Policy Tirer parti des données massives des réseaux mobiles pour établir des politiques de développement Many developing countries lack the capacity and resources to collect and analyze data for evidence-based policy-making. Is big data, which involves large and complex data sets, an opportunity to meet this challenge? Or will it become difficult for developing countries to adopt for solving problems? This project will explore big data's potential to inform development policies in urban planning, infectious diseases, and socio-economic monitoring in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Big data and research evidence Some argue that big data and big data users offer advantages to generate evidence. The availability of information and communication technologies (ICTs) can help reduce efforts to collect large data sets. Mobile phone data, which is one form of big data, has greater reach. It can offer new insights into solving social and economic problems. Transportation, diseases, socio-economic monitoring The Sri Lankan think tank, Learning Initiatives on Reforms for Network Economies Asia (LIRNEasia), has been exploring the possibility of using big data to inform public policy since 2012. Supported by IDRC, this research focused on transportation planning in urban centres in Colombo to better integrate different parts of cities and suburbs. Building on this pioneering research, LIRNEasia proposes to expand the scope to other development domains. More specifically, the project will explore the use of big data to inform policies in three domains: urban transportation, infectious diseases, and socio-economic monitoring. The project provides an opportunity for LIRNEasia to delve further into linking big data from mobile phone operators to important development domains. In the area of urban transportation, mobile user data could have a significant impact on improving transportation systems in two major cities in South Asia: Colombo and Dhaka. The project may allow both cities to become more efficient in dealing with traffic congestion, pollution, and waste management. Researchers will also explore big data to map the spread of emerging diseases in Sri Lanka. The goal: to improve public health policy. Finally, they will develop methods for mapping poverty through mobile phone transactions such as airtime reloads. This exploratory work will give researchers a better understanding of the patterns of individual economic activities to inform government policy. Nombre de pays en développement sont dépourvus des capacités et des ressources requises pour recueillir et analyser des données aux fins de l'élaboration de politiques basées sur des données probantes. Les données massives, qui consistent en des ensembles de données volumineux et complexes, permettraient-elles de relever ce défi ? Ou sera-t-il difficile pour les pays en développement de s'en servir pour régler des problèmes ? Ce projet examinera le potentiel des données massives d'orienter les politiques de développement relatives à l'urbanisme, aux maladies infectieuses et à la surveillance socioéconomique au Sri Lanka et au Bangladesh. Données massives et données probantes issues de la recherche Certains soutiennent que les données massives et leurs utilisateurs aident à produire des données probantes. La disponibilité des technologies de l'information et des communications (TIC) peut contribuer à réduire les efforts nécessaires pour recueillir des ensembles de données volumineux. Les données du réseau téléphonique mobile, une forme de données massives, ont une plus grande portée. Elles fournissent de nouvelles perspectives sur la façon de régler les problèmes sociaux et économiques. Transport, maladies et surveillance socioéconomique Learning Initiatives on Reforms for Network Economies Asia (LIRNEasia), un think tank sri lankais, examine depuis 2012 la possibilité d'utiliser les données massives pour orienter les politiques publiques. Appuyée par le CRDI, cette recherche est axée sur la planification du transport dans les centres urbains de Colombo pour mieux intégrer différentes parties des villes et des banlieues. Tirant parti de cette recherche de pointe, LIRNEasia propose d'étendre la portée à d'autres domaines du développement. Le projet permettra notamment d'examiner l'utilisation des données massives pour orienter les politiques dans trois domaines : le transport urbain, les maladies infectieuses et la surveillance socioéconomique. Grâce au projet, LIRNEasia progressera dans ses travaux de mise en concordance de données massives provenant des utilisateurs de téléphones mobiles avec des domaines importants du développement. Dans le domaine du transport urbain, les données de ces utilisateurs pourraient avoir un impact important sur l'amélioration du réseau de transport dans deux grandes villes de l'Asie du Sud : Colombo et Dhaka. Les deux villes pourraient ainsi s'attaquer avec plus d'efficacité aux embouteillages, à la pollution et à la gestion des déchets. Les chercheurs exploreront aussi l'utilisation des données massives pour cartographier la propagation des maladies émergentes au Sri Lanka. L'objectif est d'améliorer les politiques de santé publique. Enfin, les chercheurs mettront au point des méthodes pour cartographier la pauvreté au moyen des transactions de téléphones mobiles, comme les chargements de minutes de communication. Ces travaux exploratoires permettront aux chercheurs de mieux comprendre les tendances des activités économiques individuelles, dans le but d'orienter la politique gouvernementale.
Digital learning for development in Asia (DL4D) Apprentissage numérique en vue du développement en Asie (DL4D) Education is a pillar of development. The Sustainable Development Goals identify it as a global development priority with a commitment to ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all by 2030. The benefits of education are wide-ranging. Asia's strong economic growth relative to Africa and Latin America can be attributed in part to investments in education. Worldwide, research has shown that each additional year of schooling leads to an estimated 10% increase in wages, and women's educational attainment is linked to a 50% reduction in child mortality since 1970. However, despite improvements to education in developing countries over the last 15 years, challenges still abound. As of 2012, more than 780 million people lack basic literacy skills, and two-thirds of them are women. Digital learning innovations, such as digital learning games, intelligent tutoring, and Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs), provide a unique opportunity to enhance the quality of education in a cost-effective manner that can be implemented on a large scale. The Digital Learning for Development project, administered by the Philippines-based Foundation for Information Technology Education and Development, will test new digital learning innovations and scale up proven ones that address a variety of educational challenges in developing countries in Asia. The project will support an international research network to assess how digital learning innovations help meet goals for equitable, quality, and efficient education in Asia. The research network will also examine conditions that promote the successful integration of digital learning innovations into the classroom, and their potential for sustainability and scalability. L'éducation est un pilier essentiel du développement. Les objectifs de développement durable désignent l'éducation comme une priorité en matière de développement mondial, assortie de l'engagement d'assurer une éducation de qualité, inclusive et équitable pour tous d'ici 2030. Les avantages de l'éducation sont multiples. La forte croissance économique enregistrée en Asie comparativement à l'Afrique et à l'Amérique latine peut être attribuée en partie aux investissements réalisés dans l'éducation. Partout dans le monde, les recherches montrent que chaque année de scolarité additionnelle génère une hausse des salaires estimée à 10 %, et que l'acquisition de connaissances scolaires par les femmes est liée à une réduction de 50 % de la mortalité infantile depuis 1970. Cependant, en dépit des améliorations apportées en matière d'éducation dans les pays en développement ces 15 dernières années, les défis sont encore nombreux. En 2012, plus de 780 millions de personnes ne possédaient pas les connaissances de base en matière de lecture et d'écriture, et les deux tiers d'entre elles étaient des femmes. Les innovations en matière d'apprentissage numérique, comme les jeux d'apprentissage numériques, l'enseignement intelligemment assisté par ordinateur et les cours en ligne ouverts à tous constituent une occasion unique d'améliorer la qualité de l'éducation de façon économique et à grande échelle. Le Projet d'apprentissage numérique en vue du développement, administré par la Fondation pour l'éducation et le développement des technologies de l'information des Philippines, mettra à l'essai les toutes dernières innovations en matière d'apprentissage numérique, et appliquera à grande échelle celles qui ont déjà fait leurs preuves en s'attaquant à un éventail de difficultés sur le plan de l'enseignement dans les pays en développement d'Asie. Le projet financera un réseau international de recherche en vue d'évaluer dans quelle mesure les innovations en matière d'apprentissage contribuent à l'atteinte des objectifs en matière d'éducation de qualité, équitable et efficace en Asie. Le réseau de recherche examinera aussi les conditions qui favorisent l'intégration réussie des innovations en matière d'apprentissage numérique en classe, et leur potentiel sur le plan de la durabilité et de l'extensibilité.
Supporting Open Access for CARIAA Publications Soutenir le libre accès aux publications de l'IRCAAA The Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) program aims to build poor people's resilience to climate change by supporting a network of consortia to conduct high-calibre research and policy engagement in climate change hot spots - the deltas, glacier and snow-pack basins, and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia. This project will ensure the program's research publications are widely accessible. CARIAA funds high-calibre, peer-reviewed, and co-generated research. It aims to share results widely, and does so in part through our commitment to open access publication. Our commitment to open access is in line with the program's co-funder's priorities (UK Department for International Development) and with IDRC's own open access policy. While each consortium has budgeted for its own open access publications, the CARIAA program model encourages grantees to synthesize results and to work with other consortia on themes that cut across hot spots, such as climate science, scenarios, migration, economic considerations, gender, and others that may emerge throughout the life of the program. This project will cover open access fees for work led by the CARIAA program team and/or produced collaboratively by authors from several consortia. It will also pay for open access fees associated with a special issue of Regional Environmental Change, which will be based on the results of background studies commissioned by the CARIAA program. Le programme de l'Initiative de recherche concertée sur l'adaptation en Afrique et en Asie (IRCAAA) vise à renforcer la résilience des populations pauvres face aux changements climatiques en appuyant un réseau de consortiums pour mener des travaux de recherche de haut calibre et maintenir un engagement politique dans les zones cruciales au regard des changements climatiques - les deltas, les bassins de glaciers et de manteaux neigeux, et les zones semi-arides de l'Afrique et de l'Asie. Ce projet fera en sorte que les publications savantes du programme soient largement accessibles. L'IRCAAA finance des travaux de recherche de grande qualité, réalisés en collaboration et évalués par des pairs. Elle cherche à diffuser largement les résultats, en partie grâce à notre engagement à l'égard de la publication en libre accès. Notre engagement à l'égard du libre accès cadre avec les priorités du partenaire de financement (le Department for International Development du Royaume-Uni) et avec la propre politique de libre accès du CRDI. Bien que chacun des consortiums ait prévu à son budget ses propres publications en libre accès, le modèle du programme de l'IRCAAA encourage les bénéficiaires à synthétiser les résultats et à collaborer avec d'autres consortiums relativement à des sujets qui intéressent les zones cruciales, tels que la science du climat, les scénarios, la migration, les considérations économiques, le genre et d'autres sujets susceptibles d'émerger au cours de la durée du programme. Le projet couvrira les droits de libre accès pour les travaux menés par l'équipe de programme de l'IRCAAA ou produits en collaboration par des auteurs de plusieurs consortiums. Il paiera aussi les frais de libre accès associés à une édition spéciale de la revue Regional Environmental Change, qui sera fondée sur les résultats d'études préliminaires commandées par le programme de l'IRCAAA.
Intersectoral Municipal Leadership for Health in Latin America Leadership municipal intersectoriel en matière de santé en Amérique latine This project aims to build ecohealth leadership at the municipal level in Colombia and Venezuela to address health priorities, including vector-borne diseases and food systems interventions for non-communicable disease prevention. Dengue fever and chikungunya In Colombia and Venezuela, research and governmental institutions from the Latin American Ecohealth Leadership Consortium on Vector-borne Diseases have decreased Aedes mosquito populations significantly through municipal interventions. This mosquito is responsible for transmitting two viral diseases: dengue fever and chikungunya. Dengue and chikungunya interventions will be scaled up in three affected municipalities. Both diseases are responsible for rapidly growing health and economic burdens in the two countries. The project is expected to generate new knowledge on factors affecting policy adoption and scaling up: -institutional capacity gaps -early involvement and leadership of municipal players -good governance -costs -validating impact on disease incidence The evidence should help researchers and governments replicate the project at a larger scale. National and municipal governments and the World Health Organization are providing co-funding for the project. Food systems, healthy diet, and incentives The food systems and healthy diets study will take place in a rural municipality of Colombia. This region has one of the highest agricultural outputs in the country. However, it also has high rates of malnutrition among children and obesity in adult populations. The study will analyze local factors associated with the rise of obesity and diabetes, such as food systems and lifestyle determinants that favour unhealthy diets in rural areas. In the study's second step, researchers will pilot test an inter-sector approach. The aim is to promote municipal regulatory incentives for food and health systems, and community and workplace environments. Researchers will use a participatory methodology that involves multi-sector municipal committees, together with qualitative and quantitative methods. Testing ways to decrease diseases The project will analyze the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of scaling up interventions aimed at dealing with two emerging mosquito-borne diseases. The food and healthy diets study will analyze the basic food basket per home, family anthropometric indicators for nutritional status (underweight, stunting, etc.), feeding habits, and blood glucose levels. The project is expected to contribute to -stronger municipal players acting as public health leaders -effective scaled up solutions that decrease dengue and chikungunya incidence rates -municipal inter-sectoral approaches that contribute to preventing obesity and diabetes Ce projet vise à consolider le leadership en matière d'écosanté à l'échelle municipale en Colombie et au Vénézuela afin d'aborder les priorités en santé, notamment les maladies à transmission vectorielle et les interventions sur les systèmes d'alimentation en vue de prévenir les maladies non transmissibles. Dengue et chikungunya En Colombie et au Vénézuela, des institutions de recherche et des institutions gouvernementales appartenant au Consortium latino-américain pour le leadership en écosanté concernant les maladies à transmission vectorielle ont réduit substantiellement les populations de moustiques Aedes au moyen d'interventions municipales. Ce moustique est responsable de la transmission de deux maladies virales : la dengue et le chikungunya. Les interventions relatives à la dengue et au chikungunya seront renforcées dans les trois municipalités touchées. Les deux maladies ont entraîné un alourdissement rapide des pressions exercées sur le système de santé et l'économie des deux pays. Le projet devrait générer de nouvelles connaissances sur les facteurs suivants, qui nuisent à l'adoption de politiques et à l'application à plus grande échelle des interventions : - les lacunes en matière de capacité institutionnelle; - l'implication et le leadership précoces des joueurs municipaux; - la bonne gouvernance; - les coûts; - la validation des répercussions sur l'incidence des maladies. Les données probantes devraient aider les chercheurs et les gouvernements à reproduire le projet à une échelle plus vaste. Les gouvernements nationaux, les administrations municipales et l'Organisation mondiale de la santé financent conjointement le projet. Systèmes alimentaires, régimes alimentaires sains et mesures incitatives L'étude portant sur les systèmes alimentaires et les régimes alimentaires sains se déroulera dans une municipalité rurale de la Colombie. Cette région dispose de l'une des productions agricoles les plus abondantes du pays. Elle est toutefois également caractérisée par de forts taux de malnutrition chez les enfants et d'obésité chez les populations adultes. L'étude analysera les facteurs locaux associés à l'augmentation de l'obésité et du diabète, tels que les systèmes alimentaires et les déterminants liés aux habitudes de vie qui favorisent des régimes alimentaires malsains dans les zones rurales. Dans la deuxième étape de l'étude, les chercheurs mettront à l'essai une approche intersectorielle. L'objectif consiste à promouvoir des mesures incitatives réglementaires municipales concernant les systèmes d'alimentation et de santé, la collectivité et les lieux de travail. Les chercheurs utiliseront une méthodologie participative qui implique des comités municipaux intersectoriels conjointement avec des méthodes qualitatives et quantitatives. Trouver des moyens de faire reculer les maladies Le projet examinera la faisabilité, le rapport coût-efficacité et la durabilité de la mise en oeuvre sur une plus grande échelle des interventions visant à lutter contre deux maladies émergentes transmises par les moustiques. L'étude portant sur les régimes d'alimentation et de santé analysera le panier d'aliments de base d'un foyer type, les indicateurs anthropométriques familiaux de l'état nutritionnel (insuffisance pondérale, atrophie, etc.), les habitudes alimentaires et les niveaux de glucose dans le sang. Le projet devrait produire les résultats suivants : - des acteurs municipaux mieux outillés pour agir en tant que chefs de file en santé publique; - des solutions efficaces et appliquées à une plus grande échelle qui réduisent l'incidence de la dengue et du chikungunya; - des approches intersectorielles municipales qui participent à la prévention de l'obésité et du diabète.
GEOHealth Global Network Meeting August 2018 Réunion du réseau mondial de GEOHealth d’août 2018 IDRC participates as a parallel funder in a US-Canada partnership for environmental and occupational health research with the US National Institutes of Health, led by the Fogarty International Centre. Regional hubs of the Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth) network are led by research organizations in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Peru, Suriname, and Thailand. This project covers local “in-house” expenses of hosting the third annual network meeting of the GEOHealth network in August 2018. The goal of this meeting is to provide a forum for GEOHealth principal investigators and trainees to share and discuss activities, accomplishments, and challenges in GEOHealth research, research training, and hub development. This event will be held immediately before the Joint Annual Meeting of the International Society of Exposure Science and the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology in Ottawa. More than 50 members are expected to attend both the annual network meeting at IDRC and the joint conference, including project co-leaders and young researchers associated with the GEOHealth hubs in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, the US, and Canada. Le CRDI participe à un partenariat États-Unis-Canada à titre de bailleur de fonds parallèle pour des recherches sur la santé au travail et la salubrité de l’environnement avec le National Institutes of Health des États-Unis, dirigé par le Fogarty International Centre. Les centres régionaux du réseau de Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEOHealth) sont dirigés par des organisations au Bangladesh, en Éthiopie, au Ghana, en Inde, au Pérou, au Suriname et en Thaïlande. Ce projet couvre les frais internes engagés pour la troisième rencontre annuelle du réseau de GEOHealth en août 2018. L’objectif de cette rencontre est de fournir un forum où les stagiaires et les chercheurs principaux de GEOHealth sont capables de partager et de discuter des activités, des réussites et des défis de la recherche de GEOHealth, de la formation en recherche et de l’élaboration de centres. Cet événement se tiendra juste avant l’assemblée annuelle conjointe de l’International Society of Exposure Science et de l’International Society for Environmental Epidemiology à Ottawa. Plus de 50 membres devraient participer tant à la rencontre annuelle du réseau au CRDI qu’à la conférence conjointe, y compris les co-chargés de projets et les jeunes chercheurs associés aux centres de GEOHealth en Afrique, en Asie, en Amérique latine et aux Caraïbes, aux États-Unis et au Canada.
The Bolivian public justice performance research study Étude sur le rendement du système de justice public en Bolivie The Bolivian justice system obtains a conviction in less than 0.05% of sexual assault cases against children. This poor rate of conviction is due largely to a failure to complete trials in a timely manner. Many cases end before reaching a verdict. In addition, only about 15% of incidents of sexual violence against children are ever reported by families of victims, which is likely explained by low rates of confidence in the criminal justice system. This study will develop a more systematic body of evidence on the effectiveness of the Bolivian judicial system in investigating and prosecuting child sexual assault cases. It will be implemented by International Justice Mission Canada, a global organization protecting the poor from violence throughout the developing world. Research will be conducted in collaboration with the Bolivian Magistrate’s Council, primarily in La Paz – El Alto. The study will consist of two main streams: the first will involve an analysis of closed child sexual assault cases of tribunals in La Paz – El Alto. This will allow analysts to assess performance against a series of basic criteria, such as required timeframes and procedures to process cases. The second stream will seek to gauge perceptions and confidence of key officials, inside and outside of the justice system, about the justice system’s performance in investigating and prosecuting sexual assault cases against children. Taking both lines of analysis together, the research will generate a deeper picture of existing strengths and weaknesses, as well as possible opportunities and political will for improving current performance. Targeted recommendations for improving the Bolivian justice system’s ability to address child sexual assault cases will be developed. Le système de justice bolivien obtient une condamnation dans moins de 0,05 % des causes d’agression sexuelle envers les enfants. Ce faible taux de condamnation est largement attribuable au fait que les procès ne sont pas menés à bien dans les délais prévus. De nombreuses causes se terminent avant même d’en arriver à un verdict. De plus, seulement environ 15 % des incidents de violence sexuelle envers les enfants sont rapportés par les familles des victimes, ce qui s’explique probablement par les faibles taux de confiance à l’égard du système de justice pénale. Cette étude permettra d’obtenir un corpus de données probantes plus systématique sur l’efficacité du système judiciaire bolivien quant aux enquêtes et aux poursuites entourant les cas d’agression sexuelle envers les enfants. Elle sera mise en oeuvre par International Justice Mission Canada, une organisation mondiale qui protège les démunis contre la violence dans l’ensemble des pays en développement. Les travaux de recherche seront effectués en collaboration avec le conseil de la magistrature de la Bolivie, principalement dans les villes de La Paz et d’El Alto. L’étude comprendra deux grands volets. Le premier consistera en une analyse des dossiers clos d’agression sexuelle envers des enfants traités devant les tribunaux de La Paz ou d’El Alto. Les analystes pourront ainsi évaluer le rendement en fonction d’une série de critères de base, comme les délais et les procédures exigés pour traiter les cas. Le deuxième volet cherchera à évaluer la perception et la confiance des hauts responsables, au sein du système judiciaire et à l’extérieur de celui-ci, à l’égard du rendement du système judiciaire en ce qui concerne les enquêtes et les poursuites dans les cas d’agression sexuelle envers les enfants. En combinant les deux pistes d’analyse, la recherche donnera lieu à une image plus complète des forces et des faiblesses existantes, ainsi que des possibilités d’amélioration du rendement actuel et de la volonté politique à cet égard. On élaborera des recommandations ciblées pour améliorer la capacité du système judiciaire bolivien de prendre en charge les cas d’agression sexuelle envers les enfants.
Entrepreneurship and small business development in Ethiopia Développement de l'entrepreneuriat et des petites entreprises en Éthiopie This project aims to improve the Ethiopian government's policies and practices, and those of other actors, to support small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) development in the country. Since the early 2000s, the Ethiopian government has implemented successive development plans and sectoral strategies to transform the economy and create better jobs. The government's development strategies emphasize the role of SMEs in job creation, particularly in urban areas. They have placed a priority on women and youth in employment-generating schemes. The SME promotion and support packages provide improved market access, technical and entrepreneurial training, and access to financing and work opportunities. Despite the attention given to SMEs in Ethiopia's development efforts, there are large knowledge gaps regarding their performance and the circumstances in which small business entrepreneurs operate. Little is known about the extent to which large entrepreneurial schemes have generated employment or created dynamic entrepreneurs who are able to grow and willing to take risks. The Ethiopian Development Research Institute is initiating a five-year program to support job creation, particularly for youth and women, and to inform and guide policy on small business development in Ethiopia. The United Nations Development Programme is providing additional funding. The Ethiopian Chamber of Commerce and Sectorial Associations, Association of Ethiopian Microfinance Institutions, Ministry of Industry, other government bodies, and development partners will be directly involved in this project. The research team will generate evidence through field surveys and focus group discussions in 10 Ethiopian towns. This project is expected to: -expand and strengthen Ethiopia's SME sector -improve the business environment and infrastructure for doing business in Ethiopia -provide policymakers with the tools and knowledge to design strategies that support young entrepreneurs -build capacity among young researchers and leaders -publish journal articles and policy briefs -develop a database that will track the SME sector's growth over time Améliorer les politiques et les pratiques du gouvernement éthiopien en vue de soutenir le développement de la petite et moyenne entreprise dans ce pays. Depuis 2000, le gouvernement éthiopien a mis en place des plans de développement et des stratégies sectorielles visant à transformer l'économie et à créer de meilleurs emplois. Les stratégies de développement mettent l'accent sur le rôle des PMEs dans la création d'emplois et visent en priorité les femmes et les jeunes, surtout en milieu urbain. Les mesures de promotion et de soutien des PMEs visent à faciliter l'accès aux marchés, à la formation technique et en entrepreneuriat, au financement, et aux possibilités d'emploi. Malgré les efforts éthiopiens, on constate d'énormes lacunes sur le plan des connaissances eu égard au rendement et aux circonstances dans lesquelles les petits entrepreneurs exercent leurs activités. On sait peu de choses sur la mesure dans laquelle les projets des grandes entreprises ont débouché sur la création d'emplois ou suscité des vocations d'entrepreneurs dynamiques, capables de croître et de prendre des risques. L'Ethiopian Development Research Institute lance un programme quinquennal de création d'emplois, axé sur les jeunes et les femmes, pour éclairer et orienter les politiques sur le développement des petites entreprises en Éthiopie. Le Programme des Nations Unies pour le développement fournit un financement additionnel. La chambre de commerce éthiopienne, les associations sectorielles, l'Association of Ethiopian Microfinance Institutions, le ministère de l'Industrie, et d'autres organismes gouvernementaux et partenaires du développement participeront directement à ce projet. L'étude produira des données probantes au moyen d'enquêtes sur le terrain et de groupes de discussion dans 10 villes éthiopiennes. Objectifs particuliers : - élargir et consolider les PMEs en Éthiopie - améliorer le milieu et l'infrastructure d'affaires en Éthiopie - fournir aux responsables des politiques les outils et les connaissances pour concevoir des stratégies visant les jeunes entrepreneurs - renforcer les capacités des jeunes chercheurs et chefs de file - publier des articles et des exposés de politiques - établir une base de données pour suivre la croissance des PMEs au fil du temps
Think Tank Initiative 2016 Peer Review (TTI) Examen par les pairs de l'Initiative Think tank (ITT) de 2016 An important feature of the Think Tank Initiative (TTI) is the implementation of a robust monitoring and evaluation strategy which allows tracking of progress made by grantees in the area of research quality. While there are many ways to assess research quality, one of the strategies adopted by the Initiative is to carry out a peer-review exercise. For each TTI grantee, two research outputs were evaluated by independent reviewers at the beginning and at the end of Phase 1. The peer review will again be carried out twice for each grantee in Phase 2 in order to determine whether there are marked differences in the institution's capacity to produce high quality policy-relevant research. Fourteen grantees have been asked to provide two written research outputs for review that were produced between October 2014 and December 2015. An evaluation form for research outputs was developed for the Phase 1 peer-review exercise. It will again be filled out by the reviewer of each output, with minor adjustments reflecting the incorporation of gender dimensions of research, inclusion principles, and a question around research ethics. Reviewers will be selected based on their previous collaboration with the TTI peer-review process. Where necessary, new reviewers, identified by TTI and other IDRC staff, will also be recruited according to their level of education and experience and the absence of any institutional linkages with the grantees. Upon completion of this process, the results of the peer review will be shared with each grantee. The Think Tank Initiative (TTI) is a multi-funder program dedicated to strengthening independent policy research institutions, or think tanks, in developing countries. The program aims to enhance their ability to provide sound research that informs and influences policy. The second TTI phase (2014-2019) will fund 43 institutions, helping them consolidate their role as credible development actors in their countries, and in some cases, regionally and internationally. La mise en oeuvre d'une stratégie de suivi et d'évaluation rigoureuse est une importante caractéristique de l'Initiative Think tank (ITT); elle permet de suivre les progrès accomplis par les bénéficiaires dans le domaine de la qualité de la recherche. Bien qu'il existe de nombreuses façons d'évaluer la qualité de la recherche, l'une des stratégies adoptées par l'initiative comporte la réalisation d'un examen par les pairs. Au début et à la fin de la phase 1, des examinateurs indépendants ont évalué deux extrants de recherche pour chaque bénéficiaire de l'ITT. On procédera à nouveau à deux examens par les pairs pour chaque bénéficiaire au cours de la phase 2, afin de déterminer s'il existe des différences prononcées entre les capacités des institutions de produire des recherches de grande qualité pertinentes sur le plan des politiques. On a invité 14 bénéficiaires à présenter, à des fins d'examen, deux textes portant sur des extrants de recherche produits entre octobre 2014 et décembre 2015. On a produit un formulaire d'évaluation des extrants de la recherche pour l'exercice d'examen par les pairs de la phase 1. L'examinateur de chacun des extrants le remplira de nouveau, après quelques modifications mineures pour tenir compte de l'intégration de dimensions sexospécifiques de la recherche, des principes d'inclusion et d'une question portant sur l'éthique de la recherche. Le choix des examinateurs sera fondé sur leur collaboration antérieure avec le processus d'examen par les pairs de l'ITT. Si nécessaire, on recrutera de nouveaux examinateurs, proposés par l'ITT et d'autres membres du personnel du CRDI, en fonction de leur niveau de scolarité et de leur expérience ainsi que de l'absence de tout lien institutionnel avec les bénéficiaires. Une fois ce processus achevé, les résultats de l'examen par les pairs seront communiqués à chacun des bénéficiaires. L'Initiative Think tank (ITT) est un programme réunissant plusieurs bailleurs de fonds, qui cherche à renforcer les institutions indépendantes de recherche sur les politiques, ou « think tanks », dans les pays en développement. Elle vise à améliorer leur capacité à produire des recherches rigoureuses, susceptibles à la fois d'éclairer et d'influencer les politiques. Durant la deuxième phase de l'ITT (2014-2019), on subventionnera 43 institutions en vue de les aider à consolider leur rôle d'acteurs du développement crédibles dans leur pays et, dans certains cas, à l'échelle régionale et internationale.

عملية المفوضية في ليبيا (2023) UNHCR operation in Libya (2023) L'opération du HCR en Libye (2023) Libya remains both a major destination and transit country for significant groups of people in mixed movements. Instabilities in the wider region continue to push refugees and migrants who are embarking on perilous journeys to Libya and beyond. In particular, the onset of the conflict in Sudan has uprooted millions of Sudanese refugees, who continue to flee to neighboring countries in the region, including increasingly to Libya. Libya hosts over 60,000 refugees and asylum-seekers who are registered with UNHCR. The country also presents a complex displacement scenario, with 125,802 people displaced inside the country (IDPs). In addition, 44,000 people have been displaced since September 2023 when Storm Daniel struck eastern Libya. UNHCR continues to provide assistance and access to services for refugees, asylum-seekers, IDPs and host communities, prioritizing registration, access to health, cash assistance and core relief items in urban settings. UNHCR continues to seek durable solutions, such as resettlement, evacuation, and complementary pathways, for refugees and asylum-seekers, with particular attention to people most in need.

UNHCR operation in Bangladesh (2023) L'opération du HCR au Bangladesh (2023) About one million Rohingya refugees live in the largest refugee camp in the world in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. The Rohingya are an ethnic minority who have been denied citizenship in Myanmar, making them the world's largest stateless population. Most arrived in 2017, fleeing persecution, large-scale violence and human rights violations. Rohingya refugees rely entirely on humanitarian assistance for protection, food, water, shelter and health. They live in temporary shelters in a highly congested camp setting. With Bangladesh ranking third in the world among states most hit by natural disasters, Rohingya refugees are highly exposed to weather-related hazards, such as cyclones, flooding and landslides. Together with our partners, UNHCR works to support the Government of Bangladesh to provide essential services and meet the protection needs of refugees, including special services for women, children and persons with disabilities. UNHCR’s support is extended to host communities while continuously working towards solutions to ensure that refugees can return in a safe, dignified, voluntary and sustainable way once conditions in Myanmar allow.

UNHCR operation in Ukraine (2023) L'opération du HCR en Ukraine (2023) UNHCR has been present in Ukraine since 1994, when the Agency supported the repatriation of Crimean Tatars, and concluded a Host Country Agreement with the Government of Ukraine in 1996. In line with its mandate, UNHCR provides protection services and assistance to help refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), war-affected and stateless people access their rights and essential services and find sustainable solutions. In 2014, UNHCR scaled-up its presence in eastern Ukraine to provide humanitarian services and assistance to people impacted by the war. Following the full-scale invasion by the Russian Federation in February 2022, UNHCR has further expanded its operation and is now present in Chernivtsi, Dnipro, Kyiv, L’viv, Poltava, Odesa, Uzhhorod, Vinnytsia, as well as in Donetsk and Luhansk in areas under the temporary military control of the Russian Federation. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has resulted in loss of life, separation of family members, loss of homes, belongings, savings and jobs. Inflation and the contracting economy places families and communities who have been torn apart by displacement in an increasingly precarious position. Civilian infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, disrupting the supply and access to gas, electricity and fuel. Attacks by missiles, rockets and drones continue to pose a risk to the safety and security of millions of Ukrainians. Approximately one-third of Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes and around 5 million are currently displaced within the country, while some 6,3 million are displaced as refugees abroad. It is currently one of the largest human displacement crises in the world. The humanitarian needs inside Ukraine continue to grow as the war continues and 17.6 million people are considered to be in need of humanitarian assistance according to the 2023 Humanitarian Needs Overview and Response Plan. IDPs, older persons, and persons with disabilities are among the most vulnerable and severely affected by the war. UNHCR is one of over 650 organisations and partners operating in Ukraine as part of the inter-agency humanitarian response and has expanded the scale and reach of programmes to deliver assistance and services as close as possible to the frontline and in regained areas where people with high vulnerabilities have remained, and to displaced people and returnees.

UNHCR operation in the Republic of Niger (2023) L'opération du HCR en République du Niger (2023) Niger is the main country of asylum in West Africa, hosting an estimated 700,000 forcibly displaced people populations in search of international protection. They comprise 64% internally displaced persons (IDPs), 36% refugees, 7% asylum seekers and 5% returnees. Most refugees come from Nigeria (67%) and Mali (22%), but there are also some from Burkina Faso (9%), Sudan and Chad (2%). Niger is at the heart of a turbulent region where violent extremism has been on the rise since 2012 due to the increasing presence of non-state regional-based armed groups and cross-border incursions followed by military push-back operations. The complex scenario of the country is triggered by instability in the neighbouring Burkina Faso, Libya, Chad, Nigeria (including Boko Haram activities) and Mali, which has caused forced displacements towards Niger. A coup d’etat on 26 July 2023, ousting President Mohamadou Bazoum, attracted widespread condemnation and sanctions that have deepened already high levels of socio-economic vulnerability and political tensions in the country. UNHCR continues to closely monitor the situation of forcibly displaced people in the country in coordination with partners, and its operations continue without interruption. Tillaberi, Tahoua, Diffa and Maradi regions are most affected by frequent and preventive displacements within the country due to persistent terrorist threats. These large-scale displacements to and within the country are exacerbated by climate change and related hazards such as flooding and increasingly frequent droughts, which contribute to rural poverty (80% of the population depends on agriculture) and worsen issues with public service delivery. UNHCR work in Niger focuses on using community-based, and NEXUX approaches to providing holistic assistance and comprehensive protection and solutions for forcibly displaced people, with particular attention on women, children and other persons with specific needs. Urbanization projects and livelihood opportunities strengthen protection, resilience and peaceful cohabitation between both forcibly displaced and host communities. Niger is also the first country to establish an Emergency Transit Mechanism (ETM) for refugees evacuated from Libya. Niger is a party to the most relevant international and regional legal instruments protecting refugees, IDPs, and stateless persons, and in 2023 is going to be co-convenor of the Global Refugee Forum. The situation in Niger remains fluid after the 26 July 2023 military coup. UNHCR continues to closely monitor the forcibly displaced people in the country in coordination with partners, and its operations continue without interruption. The office has reviewed its business continuity plan to ensure the delivery of essential services should the situation deteriorate.

UNHCR operation in the Central African Republic (2023) L'opération du HCR en République centrafricaine (2023) The leading causes of displacement in CAR are the military operations by the Central African Armed Forces (FACA) and their allies against non-state armed groups, as well as fear of abuses by parties to the conflict. Some populations perceive imminent fighting and move to safer areas as a precautionary measure. Successive reports in recent months have referred to the excessive use of force and continuing human rights violations and abuses. This includes conflict-related sexual violence, grave violations against children, military use of schools and hospitals, targeted abuses and stigmatization of ethnic and religious minorities, excessive use of force by all perpetrators, and numerous violations of the SOFA. In a country where the protection situation was already dire, the crisis exacerbated existing vulnerabilities, particularly among women and children, with an increase in gender-based violence. Approximately 37% of GBV incidents reported by UNHCR's protection monitoring were sexual in nature, and armed men perpetrated 50% of these. Several major protection threats and risks with direct protection impacts, including for women and children in CAR, will persist in 2022, with consequences for the scale of protection needs. The emergency response was an opportunity to deploy the new approach of the protection monitoring project. Due to limited humanitarian access, remote protection monitoring has been reinforced by a community-based approach involving community relays and key informants living in the communities. Community structures were also strengthened to support a community-based protection response.

UNHCR operation in the United Republic of Tanzania (2023) L'opération du HCR en République-Unie de Tanzanie (2023) As of 1 January 2022, Tanzania hosts over 246,000 refugees and asylum-seekers, mainly from Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Of these, some 83% live in the Ndutu and Nyarugusu refugee camps located in the northwestern region of Kigoma. Tanzania has had a long history of generosity in hosting refugees. UNHCR supports the Government of Tanzania in providing refugees and asylum seekers with international protection and durable solutions. UNHCR works primarily with the Ministry of Home Affairs as well as other government line ministries to deliver aid to the population of concern. In addition to working with other humanitarian partners, UNHCR works closely with UN agencies through the UN Development Assistance Plan as well as the United Nations Kigoma Joint Programme, aimed at supporting refugees and their host communities as well as strengthening the link between humanitarian and development initiatives, in line with the Global Compact for Refugees.

UNHCR operation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (2023) L'opération du HCR en République démocratique du Congo (2023) The Democratic Republic of the Congo is home to over 529,000 refugees and asylum-seekers who have fled violence in neighbouring countries, mainly the Central African Republic, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan. The majority (72%) live outside refugee camps or settlements, and only 3% live in urban areas. Due to high levels of insecurity and large-scale violence against civilians, some 5.6 million Congolese are internally displaced in the DRC, with over 4 million in the eastern provinces of South Kivu, North Kivu and Ituri alone. Over 990,000 refugees and asylum-seekers from the DRC are currently sheltered across the African continent. The UNHCR DRC Country Office provides protection and assistance for all those forced to flee and the people at risk of statelessness within the country. UNHCR works in close collaboration with the Government to find long-term solutions to forced displacement and strengthen refugees' self-reliance, internally displaced and host communities.

UNHCR South Africa Multi-Country Office (2023) Bureau multipays de l'UNHCR en Afrique du Sud (2023) UNHCR's South Africa Multi-Country Office serves nine countries: Botswana, Comoros, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Mauritius, Namibia, Seychelles, and South Africa. Together they host approximately 260,521 people of concern to UNHCR, 250,250 of whom are hosted in South Africa. Countries of origin of refugees and asylum-seekers include Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. In Botswana, 760 refugees and asylum-seekers live in the Dukwi Refugee camp located some 580 km from the capital Gaborone, managed by Botswana's Ministry of Defence, Justice and Security and supported by three UNHCR protection staff. A small number of the caseload is resident in the urban areas of Gaborone and Botswana's second-largest city, Francistown. Although many Zimbabweans returned voluntarily from Botswana last year, there has been a gradual increase in the population since April 2021 due to new arrivals – including onward movers - from the African Great Lakes region. In Namibia and Botswana, UNHCR worked with government counterparts on verification exercises for the 5,669 and 1,055 refugees and asylum-seekers in the respective countries to streamline population figures and ensure that refugees and asylum-seekers are correctly documented. Interest in voluntary repatriation is growing, and UNHCR has supported 394 people to return safely to their countries of origin from Botswana and South Africa since the start of the year. Ending statelessness, enhancing the protection environment, and strengthening partnerships are also priorities in the region.

We lead international action to protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people. Our vision is a world where every person forced to flee can build a better future. Formally known as the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR was established by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1950 in the aftermath of the Second World War to help the millions of people who had lost their homes. Today, UNHCR works in 136 countries. We provide life-saving assistance, including shelter, food, water and medical care for people forced to flee conflict and persecution, many of whom have nobody left to turn to. We defend their right to reach safety and help them find a place to call home so they can rebuild their lives. Long term, we work with countries to improve and monitor refugee and asylum laws and policies, ensuring human rights are upheld. In everything we do UNHCR considers refugees and those forced to flee as partners, putting those most affected at the centre of planning and decision-making. This is the overall activity for 2023 UNHCR operations.

UNHCR remains engaged with authorities on the restoration of access to the territory and asylum procedure. UNHCR and partners monitor the arrivals at the border and pre-screening procedures. They aim to improve referrals and services to address the situation of persons with specific needs. The Office also works on overcoming the legal and administrative barriers for employment and enhancing skill development for refugees and asylum-seekers.

UNHCR operation in Malawi (2023) L'opération du HCR au Malawi (2023) As of December 2021, Malawi hosts 52,678 persons of concern (PoCs) to UNHCR. The majority live in the Dzaleka refugee camp located in the Dowa district, some 41 kilometres away from the capital Lilongwe. Dzaleka is a protracted camp with a monthly average of 300 new arrivals (62% are from the DRC, 19% Burundi and 7% Rwanda and 2% other nationalities). 45% of the PoCs are women, and 48% are children. The camp was initially established to host between 10,000 to 12,000 PoCs but now hosts over 52,000 individuals. Of the total PoC population, 21,530 have refugee status, 30,910 are asylum seekers, with 238 others of concern, making the refugee situation protracted. The protracted nature of the camp settlement and encampment policy increases the risks of its inhabitants to infectious diseases, protection, and self-sufficiency.

عملية المفوضية في تونس (2023) UNHCR operation in Tunisia (2023) L'opération du HCR en Tunisie (2023) Currently, over 12,000 refugees and asylum-seekers are registered with UNHCR in Tunisia. In 2023, movement patterns to and through Tunisia have increased in scale, while the suffering and loss of life continue unabated for people travelling in mixed movements. At the crossroads of migratory routes between Africa and Europe, Tunisia plays an increasingly significant role as a country of transit and destination along the central Mediterranean migration route for people forced to flee. Individuals move from East, Central, and West Africa as well as from the Middle East to Tunisia through perilous journeys. Among those with international protection needs are people transiting through Libya, and Algeria as well as people rescued at sea and disembarked in Tunisia. UNHCR is the sole entity responsible for conducting registration and Refugee Status Determination (RSD). In close coordination with the Tunisian authorities and national partners, with the support of donors, UNHCR seeks to strengthen the protection space and ensure that persons in need of international protection receive lifesaving assistance and have access to means and services to build their resilience. The advocacy for a national asylum system and a gradual transfer of competencies to the Government remains UNHCR's paramount objective. UNHCR has been active in Tunisia since 1957 when Tunisian authorities asked for its assistance to protect several thousands of Algerian refugees. UNHCR established an honorary representation in 1963, then a full representation through the signature of a Headquarters agreement in 2011 between UNHCR and the Tunisian Government. Since then, UNHCR works in close collaboration with authorities and Tunisian civil society to promote a favourable protection environment for refugees and asylum-seekers in Tunisia. This activity shows details of the UNHCR operation in Tunisia for 2023 including the budget, funding, expenditure and results.

UNHCR operation in Mozambique (2023) L'opération du HCR au Mozambique (2023) Since 2017, Mozambique has been immersed in a humanitarian crisis linked to violence perpetrated by non-state armed groups that deeply impacts the 25,000 refugees and asylum-seekers hosted by the country and which has led to the internal displacement of 850,500 people. In addition to these challenges, Mozambique, one of the countries most adversely affected by the impacts of the climate crisis in the world, also struggled with more than 40,000 people internally displaced by extreme weather events as of December 2023. The double landfall of Tropical Cyclone Freddy in February and March 2023, a year following the devastation brought by Tropical Cyclone Gombe, for instance, affected over 1 million people, destroyed infrastructure, and displaced some 184,000 people. Throughout 2023, 300,966 people returned to their areas of origin, many of which still lack basic services and adequate living conditions. UNHCR continues to stress that all return movements should occur in an informed, safe, voluntary, and dignified manner. UNHCR Mozambique continues to work with authorities and development actors to address the protection and assistance needs and support sustainable solutions for internally displaced people in the northern provinces of Cabo Delgado, Nampula, and Niassa, for refugees and asylum-seekers, and for the communities that host them.

UNHCR operation in Colombia (2023) Oficina de ACNUR en Colombia (2023) L'opération du HCR en Colombie (2023) Despite ongoing peace negotiations, clashes between armed groups persist, resulting in the increased internal forced displacement of 6.9 million people and community confinement. UNHCR's efforts include supporting conflict-affected communities in their efforts to return, relocate, and formalize urban settlements. Colombia also hosts nearly 3 million Venezuelan refugees and migrants, with approximately 2.4 million benefiting from a Temporary Protection Status. Progress has been made in their regularization, but achieving full socio-economic integration and self-reliance remains challenging. In December 2023, Colombia co-hosted the second Global Refugee Forum, providing an opportunity to share its experiences in peacebuilding, solutions, social protection, and inclusion.

UNHCR operation in Serbia (2023) L'opération du HCR en Serbie (2023) As of August 2021, Serbia hosts 5,051 refugees and persons under other forms of international protection coming from over 50 countries. Most of them are accommodated in operational governmental centres across the country and mainly come from Afghanistan, Syria and Bangladesh. Faced with a growing number of asylum-seekers from Eastern Europe, Africa and the neighbouring countries in the early 1970s, the then Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia invited UNHCR to establish an operation in the country. The office has been based in Belgrade since 1976. UNHCR assisted to mandate refugees until the violent dissolution of former Yugoslavia in the 1990s when more than 550,000 refugees arrived in Serbia from the former Yugoslav republics. In 1999, more than 200,000 internally displaced persons fled to central Serbia from Kosovo. During the 2015 European refugee crisis, UNHCR supported the Republic of Serbia in addressing over one million refugees' protection and humanitarian needs, mainly from Syria. After the lifting of the emergency in late 2016, UNHCR's assistance adapted to respond to the changed needs of refugees and asylum-seekers.
