Support in the area of international financing

Refugee crises are long-term and place the supply infrastructure in the host regions under strain. With the aim of reinforcing local capacity and readiness to receive refugees and to prevent conflicts, KfW is investing in improving water and power supplies, in education and in the provision of accommodation in the host regions most badly affected.

As soon as the situation in the home regions has stabilised, KfW supports the return and reintegration of refugees. With projects for the restoration of destroyed basic infrastructure and promotion of local employment, we create concrete incentives for voluntary return and the successful reintegration of refugees in their home regions.

With its investments, KfW pursues the objective of improving the living conditions of the local population and contributing to the long-term mitigation of the causes of displacement. KfW is thus acting to increase the security of food supply in regions affected by climate change and to offer people a long-term future in their home countries.
