Refugees and their host communities in Kenya and Uganda will have access to $35 million for livelihood support over the next five years. The funding will aid in securing job opportunities for 20,000 people in Nairobi and Kampala.

“We’re working with our partners and the IKEA Foundation on a five-year, €30 million ($35 million) initiative to develop livelihood opportunities for these vulnerable communities,” said the International Rescue Committee (IRC) in a report.
