Publication of a New Book: “A New Way of Working to Support Refugees: Putting the Humanitarian-Development Nexus into Action in Africa”

2023.12.13

JICA Ogata Sadako Research Institute for Peace and Development has been publishing the Project History Series, which chronicles the trajectories and results of JICA projects. Published in December 2023, “A New Way of Working to Support Refugees: Putting the Humanitarian-Development Nexus into Action in Africa” is the sixth of the English-language installments published in the series thus far.

This book is a historical account of JICA’s support for refugees in Uganda, which has accepted many refugees from South Sudan and other neighboring countries. The author, who was directly involved in this process as a JICA official, provides a detailed picture of the protracted refugee situations in Uganda during the 2010s. Additionally, the book describes how JICA has supported refugees and host communities to cope with large-scale outflows of refugees through means other than humanitarian assistance, and how its involvement in refugee response in Africa has been guided by the wider concept of human security.
