Leave No One Behind: Youth in Protracted Crises

The Leave No One Behind Project (LNOB) was designed to address two problem areas. First, is to fill an important knowledge gap--to understand the experiences, challenges, opportunities, and constraints faced by female youth that have been displaced due to conflict. The second is to bridge empirical research findings with humanitarian policy and practice to improve humanitarian response. The research process relied on a holistic approach, using a qualitative participatory design to solicit information about the lived experiences of female youth in displacement, and to shed light on the practice and experience of early marriage, as well as additional challenges included but not limited to: returns and migration, health, education, mental health, livelihoods and protection. LNOB conducted research with Syrian refugees and internally displaced Yazidis in the Kurdish Region of Iraq (KRI) and internally displaced South Sudanese in South Sudan (SS). A key goal of the study was to employ a novel methodology, by creating a cohort of female youth in the KRI and SS, that would be followed throughout the duration of the project. These girls were interviewed using a variety of participatory methods, every two months for a period of 12-14 months. Different marriage groups were targeted and include: unmarried girls, girls that married as minors and remain married, as well as those that later divorced or became widowed. As well, we included two additional subgroups in the sample: those that became pregnant as minors, as well as girls with physical, psychological and intellectual disabilities, regardless of their marital status. When possible, LNOB also interviewed a family member of the cohort participant. In addition, we also interviewed NGO workers, community leaders, healthcare providers, educators, government representatives, and camp managers as key informants in our study locations. Our local researchers were from the affected communities in both countries. Despite extremely difficult circumstances related to COVID, we were also able to conduct many of the interviews remotely with our local researchers via WhatsApp. In total, we were able to create a cohort of approximately 100 girls, and we conducted 594 qualitative interviews which have been coded and analyzed.

Цел на проекта

Effective humanitarian programs are predicated on a detailed and accurate understanding of what is happening on the ground. So often, however, humanitarian organizations do not have access to such information, and they lack the in-house capacity to conduct empirical research in conflict-affected areas. This gap—between generating scientifically grounded knowledge and engaging in humanitarian action— results in programs that are ineffective or misaligned with the needs of crisis-affected populations on the ground. The proposed project Leave No One Behind will bridge this gap by bringing together an academic researcher with a non-governmental humanitarian organization to conduct research primarily on a vulnerable population-- adolescent girls—who are living in protracted displacement and fragile environments. Leave No One Behind seeks to answer the following overarching research questions using quantitative and qualitative methodologies 1) What are the push and pull factors for early marriage in fragile environments and what are potential local solutions to decrease this practice? 2) What are the decision-making processes of refugee families with adolescents and unaccompanied minors who seek to integrate locally or return to their country of origin and what could support durable solutions? The research will be conducted in the Sahel region of Africa and Lebanon with the support of the host organization that currently has a presence in both regions. Leave No One Behind represents an applied research, based on identified needs, that will generate recommendations that are immediately actionable by the host organization, as well as local and international organizations involved in humanitarian action, advocacy, and policy. Beyond the actual research project, Leave No One Behind comprises a host of skills and continuous knowledge transfers between the researcher and the organization throughout the fellowship including two-way trainings, workshops, and regular consultation
