Humanitarian Response and Advocacy
Following the conclusion of the 2024 entrepreneurship training programme delivered in partnership with World Vision Romania, UNHCR’s Livelihoods and Economic Inclusion team developed a set of post-activity monitoring questions. The programme provided entrepreneurship training to 170 refugees, with 27 receiving UNHCR-funded business development grants. The questions aim to track progress, identify challenges, document impact aligned with good practices in refugee livelihoods support, and help improve future iterations of the programme.
336 refugees have pre-registered for the 2025 programme, comprising of six online sessions that will conclude with a business plan submission from which 10 plans will be selected for UNHCR-funded grants. So far in 2025, UNHCR and its partners supported some 2,321 refugees with livelihood and employment services.
On 4 June, UNHCR partner World Vision Romania conducted an online training session for 11 refugee participants on "Your Work in Romania – Where to Start and How to Protect Yourself?". The workshop covered topics such as employment contracts, with participants discussing the main elements and mandatory information that must be included in contracts. During a Q&A session, refugees expressed their concerns regarding the scheduled ending of temporary protection in March 2026, particularly uncertainty about their legal status and next steps after that date.
