Associate Economist

Organizational Setting and Work Relationships
Framed by the Global Compact for Refugees (GCR) and UNHCR’s mission to find solutions to refugee situations, strengthened cooperation with development and private sector partners is essential. The increasing number of refugees and internally displaced persons in protracted displacement situations, together with the increasing scale of irregular migration, large-scale refugee movements, and costs of responding to humanitarian situations, have placed forced displacement high on the global agenda. These elements have further driven the realization that humanitarian support must be complemented by development and private sector actors to lift displaced populations out of poverty, enable solutions, and encourage an area based approach to poverty reduction.

Within UNHCR, the Division of Resilience and Solutions (DRS) was formed to address these challenges, in part by broadening strategic partnerships with key actors in these areas, including importantly the World Bank and other multilateral development banks and in so doing aligning approaches by Government. To support investments by development actors in area based approaches including both forcibly displaced and their hosts, requires better data and standardized information about refugees and host community households, particularly in relation to their socio-economic status or multidimensional poverty status. Accurate data on welfare conditions is also needed for UNHCR and partner operations, including cash, livelihoods, and education programming, welfare targeting and monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals.




Finally, comparable information for both refugees and host community members is a pre-requisite for measuring changes in welfare required to inform medium-term programming with development partners and national governments. DRS together with the World Bank Poverty Global Practice supported by the UNHCR World Bank Joint Data Center manage the partnership and play the global coordination role for the institution in working with National Statistics Offices to include forcibly displaced into National Poverty Assessments.

The Associate Economist will contribute to the Global Compact for Refugees (GCR) objectives: 1 – Ease the pressures on host countries and 2 – Enhance refugee self-reliance. Concretely, the incumbent will contribute to the indicators measuring the success of the GCR and particularly the proportion of refugees living below the national poverty line in the host country. Depending on where s/he is based, the reporting lines will differ. If the Associate Economist is based in Headquarters, s/he will report to the DRS Partnership Analytics Research and Knowledge (PARK) section. If s/he is based in a country or regional office, will report to either the Representative or Deputy Representative (Programme), or in some cases Head of Sub-Office or Senior Operations Officer. In all cases, there will be a dotted line to DRS PARK for technical functional clearance of candidates and for technical oversight of economics products. The Associate Economist will work closely with Programme and Protection colleagues in addition to Senior Management in the operation as well as Bureaux and technical unit key, external stakeholders and development agencies, including the World Bank, government agencies, national statistical agencies, and other operational partners.

Occupational Safety and Health Considerations:

Nature of Position:

Kiziba is the oldest camp in Rwanda, was built in 1996, and has been there for more than 26 years. The camp host a protracted caseload of Congolese refugees from DRC, and currently has a population of about 15817, with 3164 families, including more than 1031 asylum seekers. Kiziba is located about 15 km outside Karongi town in Karongi District, Western Province. The age under 25 years constitutes 60% of the population. The Office also covers the Kijote Transit Centre in Nyabihu District and the Nyarushishi Transit centre in the Rusizi district in Rwanda’s Western. Both TCs are 26 km and 22 km away from the DRC borders respectively. The camp is the most context-sensitive in Rwanda’s operation, and therefore needs well-informed personnel with adequate experience in the same or similar operational context ready to manage the expectations of the population on resettlement as the only most preferable durable solution to the plight of the persons of concern in Kiziba camp.

The government of Rwanda is a party to the 1951 convention and other important human rights convention and offers international protection to refugees and asylum seekers present on its territory including those in Kiziba and Karongi area of responsibility. The refugee situation in Rwanda has largely been a protracted one, but recently, increasing instability in Eastern DRC during the latter part of 2022 and early 2023 has forced people to flee across the border to Rwanda. As of end of September 2023, around 6,000 new arrivals have been recorded. At the policy level, Rwanda provides for refugee inclusion into national services such as education, health, socio-economic and financial services (including access to investment & bank accounts). Explicitly, Article 18 of the Law n°13ter/ 2014 of 21/05/2014 relating to refugees stipulates that “without prejudice to other laws, any person having obtained refugee status in Rwanda shall enjoy the rights and liberties provided for by international instruments on refugees ratified by Rwanda.

There is a gradual shift from a humanitarian approach to a developmental focus in the Rwandan refugee response, with emphasis on sustainable livelihoods and social cohesion (Humanitarian, Development and Peace nexus). UNHCR further strengthens its advocacy with partners and assists refugees to become more self-reliant with targeted assistance and an increased number of livelihood projects, including access to training, cash grants, and technical expertise, as well as establishing strategic partnerships with Development actors, UN agencies and private sector.  UNHCR current protection activities provided to refugees and PoCs include Registration, Refugee Status Determination, Resettlement and Durable Solutions while assistance is primarily focusing on life-saving activities such as health, education, livelihoods, and community development/empowerment. With resettlement being the main durable solution for Congolese refugees, it has become challenging to manage expectations in resettlement, and attempted fraud cases are being identified and managed. Reportedly, tensions within families have been reported, and domestic issues, all linked to resettlement expectations. The refugee communities are most often unwilling to develop their capacities/potentials, due to concerns of losing resettlement opportunities.

The Assistant Community-Based Protection Officer is responsible for monitoring, analysing, and identifying situational protection trends affecting the rights and conditions of asylum-seekers and refugees; developing protection advocacy strategies and activities to improve the protection environment.
