Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on my MA dissertation (I studied Development Studies at Sussex University in the UK). My research question is:  How can ABCD approach support integration of refugees into society? 

From my initial research, I can't really find any case studies that would link these two concepts. I identified one German NGO which works with refugees & local communities in Greece (https://habibi.works/); I think they might be using this model without actually calling it this way.

My question is whether any of you has an experience of applying ABCD when it comes to integrating refugees into society? Or have seen any relevant examples / case studies they could point me towards to?

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated!

Thank you

Ewa
