• A joint programme aimed at supporting the livelihoods of refugees, returnees and internally displaced people (IDPs) was officially launched at a meeting held on February 16th, 2004 at the ILO headquarters.
  The ILO and UNHCR have worked in partnership for many years in order to couple their respective expertise and accumulated experience to promote sustainable livelihoods of displaced populations. The ILO-UNHCR partnership gained momentum over the past 2 years after an exchange of letters between the ILO’s Director-General and the High Commissioner for Refugees, whereby the great potential of closer cooperation was reaffirmed and sustained support was pledged. This partnership programme is coordinated by ILO IFP/CRISIS and the Reintegration and Local Settlements Section (RLSS) of UNHCR. This event provided headquarter-based staff from several technical units of the two organizations a timely opportunity to revisit the potential for technical collaboration, to discuss further areas of mutual interest and converging organizational mandates, and brainstorm on how the partnership can be most effectively put into practice within various displacement contexts.
  The rapid deployment of livelihoods experts to UNHCR field operations is one among several activities of this partnership programme. Under this framework, an ILO expert has already been deployed to Eritrea in January this year to support the socio-economic reintegration and sustainable livelihoods of refugees and returnees. Other assignments and activities are under consideration.
