This is the first FIND (Finance in Displacement) newsletter. It brings early insights from the ongoing research with refugees in Jordan and Kenya exploring their financial and economic lives. Finance in Displacement, in short FIND, is a project to understand and strengthen the financial lives of refugees in two focus countries—Jordan and Kenya.
In this newsletter, they feature research in Jordan overseen by Swati Mehta Dhawan, Research Associate at KU, and Dr. Hans-Martin Zademach, Professor of Economic Geography at KU.
The following are the main parts included in the newsletter:
• What we learned looking at the “financial journeys” of 89 refugees in Jordan?
• Financial phases among Nairobi’s refugees
• FIND research informs IRC report on livelihoods in Jordan and Lebanon
