Consultancy to Validate and Synthesize Existing Market Evidence for Women’s Economic Inclusion, Livelihoods and Market Systems in Kenya

About RefuSHE RefuSHE Kenya protects, educates and empowers orphaned, unaccompanied and separated refugee girls and young women to build healthier and more resilient futures for themselves and their children. The organization works across protection, education, skills development, livelihoods and economic empowerment.

Background Context RefuSHE is embarking on a four-year Angaza program delivered by a consortium of implementing partners, seeking to advance economic and financial inclusion for diverse refugee and host community young women aged 18–35, including persons with disabilities, operating within the informal economy in camp and urban contexts. To bypass systemic barriers to formal employment, the program scales refugee-led, gender-responsive models through a multi-pronged strategy combining market-relevant skills training, apprenticeships, access to capital, and market linkages to strengthen young women-led micro-enterprises and livelihoods.
