In November 2014, CWS initiated a pilot project to increase self-reliance among urban refugees in Rwanda, South Africa and Tanzania, through intensive case management and outreach to local employers and other local stakeholders. By focusing on both the supply and demand of refugee labor, CWS sought to facilitate mutually beneficial interactions between urban refugees and host communities.
