Resource Recovery and Reuse in Refugee Settlements in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda

Improve food and water security, energy access, and ecosystem and livelihood resilience in refugee settlements across Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda through gender-responsive circular bioeconomy innovations. Implement small-scale greywater-irrigated home gardens, fruit and shade tree cultivation, organic composting, and agricultural waste treatment. Engage over 3,600 households and 200,000 people, including Afghan refugees, in capacity-building and landscape restoration. Project ran 2019–2023 in six camps with partners including ICRAF, UWM, PSU, DRC, UNHCR, UN-Habitat, and CATI. Evidence-based outcomes support replication in fragile, high-migration contexts.
