Responding to protracted refugee situations: a case study of Liberian refugees in Côte d'Ivoire

The aim of the study is to offer lessons learned with respect to promoting local integration as a durable solution. The report consists of three body chapters: general background on the refugees, their country of origin and the host country in which they were given asylum; the responses to the refugee situation of the main actors (the host country government, its population, the international community, and the refugees themselves); and finally analysis of and commentary on these responses, with conclusions drawn for policies both in protracted refugee situations in the future and in the immediate case of Liberians in Côte d'Ivoire.
