The project aims to improve the livelihoods of women in IDP centers through business development training, access to credit, and market linkage, with an evaluation of the intervention’s impact via a randomized control trial to inform policy debates. Forced displacement has become one of the major factors that disrupt the livelihoods of millions of people in the world. Specifically, conflict driven displacement is disproportionately affecting the livelihoods of women. Notwithstanding the protracted nature of internal conflicts, the existing response to IDPs crisis focuses on the provision of temporary humanitarian support. Against this backdrop, we propose to provide business development training, seed money/ access to credit, and market linkage to women in the IDP centers to improve their incomes and nutrition by appropriating the available business opportunities. We aim to evaluate the impact of the intervention by running randomized control trail (RCT). The objective of the exploratory research is, thus, to refine the intervention package, collate administrative and contextual information on IDPs to inform the research design, and engage partners for effective implementation of intervention. The evidence generated by the full RCT study will contribute to the policy debates.
