Joint GIZ-UNHCR Longitudinal Study

The GIZ Global Programme "Support to UNHCR in the Implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees in the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus" has been commissioned by the BMZ to contribute to putting the GCR and the HDP Nexus into practice. Implementation takes place in in the following thematic fields: livelihoods, social housing and employment (Output A), sustainable energy solutions (Output B) policy advice on GCR (Output D) and direct support to the UNHCR Division of Resilience and Solutions (DRS (Output C)). While Output B and D are being implemented exclusively by GIZ personnel in Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda (even though in cooperation with UNHCR on the ground), Output A offers two examples of a joint implementation effort of both GIZ and UNHCR in Mexico and Mauritania, while Niger is implemented by UNHCR personnel solely. Output C offers another fruitful entry into the joint cooperation, as one team personnel operates between GIZ and UNHCR headquarter levels.
