- Abstract:
- This research project seeks to understand the differences in outcomes of social
assistance programs which are geared toward building or sustaining urban refugee
livelihoods. I study three different types of social assistance programs with similar goals
of assisting urban refugees in Cape Town, South Africa: one skills training program, one
program which provides beneficiaries with micro-business grants, and one program
which provides short-term welfare assistance. In order to collect the data, I conducted indepth
interviews with employees to the programs and their beneficiaries.
I found that the program which allocated micro-business grants to urban refugees
was the most successful of the three, however each program has it’s own set of strengths
that fill in gaps in assistance that the others do not. This knowledge allows us to better
understand the strengths and weaknesses of each type of program and to improve the
social assistance provided to urban refugees.
