Refugee livelihoods: A case study of the Gambia

This document is part of a series of Refugee Livelihood Studies commissioned
as a component of EPAU's Refugee Livelihoods Project.
The Refugee Livelihoods Project, a follow-up project to the Global Review on
Protracted Refugee Situations, examines refugee livelihoods strategies and the
potential for UNHCR and other actors to promote sustainable livelihoods in
those situations where refugees have been dependent on humanitarian
assistance for longer periods.
EPAU's goal in publishing these studies is to widely communicate the
knowledge developed to date about supporting refugee livelihoods and to
stimulate a better understanding of the ways in which refugees can be helped
rather than hindered in efforts towards improving their livelihoods.
By mid 2005, EPAU will publish a synthesis document describing the main
lessons learned from the case studies.
