من نحن

The European Commission has launched a funding opportunity to promote sustainable and durable solutions for forcibly displaced populations and host communities in Ethiopia. The programme seeks to strengthen socio-economic inclusion while enhancing the policy and institutional environment that supports refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), IDP returnees, and affected host communities. Activities will be implemented in conflict- and displacement-affected regions, including Somali, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, and Tigray. The action focuses on two key objectives: advancing economic transformation in conflict- and migration-prone areas through a Market Systems Development approach, and strengthening policies and programmes that support durable solutions for IDPs through return, local integration, or settlement elsewhere. Eligible activities may include strengthening inclusive and resilient market systems and value chains, expanding access to finance and enterprise development, promoting employment opportunities, improving policy coordination and data systems, supporting evidence generation, building community-level capacities, and advancing sustainable financing mechanisms for durable solutions. The total indicative budget for the call is EUR 9,000,000, and one grant of exactly EUR 9,000,000 (approximately USD 9.72 million) will be awarded for the implementation of the proposed action.
