This project aims to enhance welfare and protection of refugees and host community populations, particularly vulnerable women and girls, in Egypt. The project seeks to improved access to protection services and gender-responsive assistance for refugees, in particular women and girls, and enhance their socio-economic inclusion and resilience through employment and entrepreneurship training. Project activities include: 1) providing cash-assistance to 3,446 female-headed refugees households, benefiting 7,719 women and girls and 6,065 men and boys; 2) providing 300 SGBV survivors with case management and safe relocation services to ensure their physical safety, of which 290 will be women; 3) providing training and seed funding to 265 refugees with the aim to create income- generating businesses; 4) providing job placement services to 180 refugees to facilitate access to market opportunities and develop vocational skills. These livelihood interventions would support 60% women and 40% men; and 5) providing access to social cohesion initiatives including cultural exchange events and gender-sensitive training sessions on conflict resolution for 445 members of refugee and host communities. These initiatives would include the launch of community service programmes and festivals showcasing different cultural traditions, including music, dance, and cuisine. In total, the interventions will benefit 14,934 direct beneficiaries, including 8,519 women and girls and 6,415 men and boys, of which 93% are part of female-headed households. At least 97% of beneficiaries will be refugees or asylum seekers.
