Multiplier Effect

Number of direct beneficiaries

14.272

The number of indirect beneficiaries is much higher, as people came to arrange legal and administrative matters from which the entire family benefits. Thus, through the multiplier effect the number of beneficiaries can be at least 4 times higher. The media activities and the beneficiaries informing their social circle of the possibilities available also play a role in influencing this multiplier effect. A success in one test case, serves to resolve the issue in all similar cases, and through advocacy activities, the entire refugee community benefits.

Through the network built in the communities, the entire conflict affected community is reached.
