The Refugee Self-Reliance Initiative (RSRI), cofounded by WRC and RefugePoint, is an innovative, transformational approach to humanitarian aid that moves refugees away from traditional assistance and prioritizes self-reliance. With this approach, refugees receive support to reach their potential and use their talents to support themselves, their families, and their communities. The RSRI created a tool, called the Self-Reliance Index, that measures the impact of economic programs meant to encourage and support refugee self-reliance, to ensure that these programs are effective. In 2023, 41 humanitarian organizations used the Self-Reliance Index in 26 countries, a huge increase from prior years and a strong signal of its usefulness and success.
