Egypt Response Plan 2018 The basic needs sector will provide support to the most socio-economically vulnerable refugees through a targeted approach, in order to improve their capacity to be active community members and access basic services safely and with dignity. The livelihood sector will concentrate on skills development, entrepreneurship and improving access to wage employment. Advocacy with relevant actors for formal access to employment and finance for the refugee population will continue, which in turn is expected to lead to improved economic opportunities for all population groups and enhance social cohesion between refugees and host communities. Ensuring cross-sector linkages particularly between education, SGBV, health and basic needs, and livelihood has become increasingly vital in addressing the needs of refugees and impacted host communities, and promoting social cohesion. 13
