After five years of implementation, the PROSPECTS partnership has amassed considerable experience and lessons learned conducting joint programming in forced displacement contexts.  

An in-depth lessons learned exercise was undertaken and the findings were brought together in form of a detailed report - Responding to forced displacement: Lessons from the International Labour Organization’s engagement in the PROSPECTS programme

Join us to know more about the ILO PROSPECTS experience and learnings from Egypt, Ethiopia, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Sudan and Uganda. 

The report offers a practical, experience-based reflection on what works in supporting host communities and forcibly displaced persons—spanning employment, education and training, and social protection. It highlights cross-cutting themes such as gender, youth, disability inclusion, and digitization and shares insights into building an integrated response under the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus.
