Abstract
The need for jobs support in
economies affected by forced displacement and conflict is
high, with forced displacement at its highest level since
the Second World War and poverty expected to be increasingly
concentrated in economies affected by fragility, conflict,
and violence (FCV). Developing impactful and cost-effective
jobs support requires good data on program costs and
benefits, but such information remains notoriously scarce in
FCV and displacement situations. This study presents
insights from a new dataset of cost and results in the jobs
support project portfolios of Foreign, Commonwealth and
Development Office (FCDO), United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees (UNHCR), and the World Bank in six low- and
middle-income economies affected by conflict and
displacement. It analyzes results on the cost-efficiency of
jobs support to inform design and budget planning, as well
as results on cost effectiveness, with a view to informing
choice between different modalities while taking into
account additionality and sustainability of outcomes achieved.
