Refugees, environmental resource use and local integration in Ghana

This research investigates the implications of environmental resource use conflicts between refugees and their hosts for local integration of refugees in Ghana. Findings show that contrary to popular claims that refugees are often not interested in local integration as a durable solution, a significant proportion consider local integration as a viable solution once it comes with an acceptable package. While the willingness of both refugees and hosts to accept local integration serves as a boost, stakeholders need to do more in terms of resources in order to push ahead the agenda of integrating refugees locally in protracted situations.Doctor of Philosoph
