Humanitarian Response and Disaster Risk Reduction

In Kyaka II and Kyangwali refugee settlements, JESE works with refugees, host communities and local governments to build resilience and self-reliance. The work follows the ReHOPE approach, which directs at least 30 percent of refugee-related spending to the needs of host communities. JESE also supports community-based disaster risk management, including early warning systems, contingency planning, public awareness and disaster response.

How it draws on the thematic areas

• Sustainable Food Systems and Value Chain Development: Nutrition-sensitive farming, kitchen and school gardens, and the Farmer Field Business School approach in the settlements.
• Climate, Environment and Natural Resources: Community-based disaster risk management, early warning, contingency planning and natural resource governance with refugees and host communities.
• Youth Employment and Skills Development: Targeted support for young refugees through youth inclusion.
