The global displacement crisis demands integration solutions, notably in labor markets. The PROSPECTS Partnership, operating across Egypt, Ethiopia, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Uganda, and Sudan, aims to support refugee integration. The International Labour Organization (ILO) conducted a review focusing on refugees' right to work and rights at work. Findings reveal significant gaps in legislation, hindering refugee access to formal employment, justice systems, and social security benefits. Comprehensive legal reforms and practical support mechanisms are needed to facilitate refugee integration. Detailed country-specific reports are available for download on the ILO website.

The refugee and asylum seekers population in any country is highly vulnerable and often lacks any form social protection.

As Egypt rolls out phase 1 of the UHIS, the study reviews possibilities of including refugees and asylum seekers in this key social protection scheme. It identified opportunities and challenges.

It proposes long-term strategy to ensure equal treatment of refugees and asylum seekers at par with Egyptians and grounded in sound economic policy options. It also presents data for policymakers and international agencies to make well-informed policy decisions, calling for intensive advocacy efforts with the Government of Egypt and strategic implications for the health programme.

It underscores the urgent need for action to ensure that PoC are not left behind and highlights the importance of fostering social cohesion by providing equal access to healthcare services for all.

Through PROSPECTS programme, the ILO has undertaken a national policy, legislative and regulatory frameworks and practice review. This review includes an analysis of current legislation, policies and regulatory frameworks, and how their implementation works in practice across the eight PROSPECTS countries to support the governments in policy, legislation, regulatory development and/or reform as appropriate.

Through this review, the ILO seeks to explore further opportunities to strengthen policy, legislative and institutional environments and mechanisms, working closely with host governments and other national actors and partners.

By providing a comprehensive and robust picture of the situation on the ground, the report offers actionable areas of intervention to support policy development, reform and implementation capacity of the host governments, other national and local actors, including the social partners, to enhance inclusion and protection.
