Income-generation programmes among Afghan refugees
Whether refugees need project assistance beyond the minimalist 'credit-only' approach to business promotion is something that depends on the particular circumstances of the business. This article describes some features of the income-generation programmes developed to assist the poorersections of the Afghan refugee population in Pakistan; and sets them in the context of the wider poverty-alleviation debate. Programmes initiated at the beginning are reviewed, followed by descriptions of current programmes including support for microenterprise, marketing assistance, vocational
training, environmental initiatives and aspects of programme design and management.
