Refugees in East Africa: Boosting Urban Innovations for Livelihoods Development (Re:Build) is a multifaceted approach to support urban refugees to build sustainable livelihoods in East Africa and to inspire evidence-based systemic change globally.
Re: Build is committed to generating and sharing evidence for innovative, sustainable livelihood solutions that can be adopted to support refugees and host residents in other cities in East Africa and beyond. It aims at achieving the goal of changing policies, practices, and investments to better support urban refugee livelihoods.
Platform for Vendors in Uganda (PLAVU), in partnership with International Rescue Committee (IRC), secured an IKEA Foundation grant to implement the Innovations and Adoption component of the (Re: Build) Program.
