This study is undertaken to better understand the inclusion of refugees in government social protection programmes in eight countries in Africa (Ghana and Cameroon in West and Central Africa; the Republic of Congo, South Africa and Malawi in Southern Africa; and Djibouti, Kenya and Rwanda in East Africa, the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes region). It maps and reviews the enabling factors for inclusion and formulates recommendations for action, drawn from the evidence base provided by UNHCR Country Offices, complemented by analysis of social protection focal points by the three Africa Regional Bureaus (RBs) and the Division of Resilience and Solutions (DRS).
