UN Joint Programme develops skills and trains refugees in Ghana (long version)

For fourteen years, sporadic civil war overturned life in Liberia. A quarter of a million die, thousands flee the fighting. Many came to Ghana, for them a stable country, a haven. This, just the start of their quest for human security.At the height of the civil war, most of the 42,000 refugees here were Liberian. To have lasting security, they needed to find work that can earn them a living. And for that, they needed practical skills. And the key to that: training. Since 2007 the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, UNIDO, has been helping train refugees, working with its partners FAO and UNHCR. For those refugees who've stayed in Ghana, or gone home to Liberia, becoming self-reliant has transformed their lives. From devastation and conflict, they've found the way ahead to human security and peace.
