JSDF 2 – Challenges Groups with weak ties to the community and little voice have high risk of being missed by rehabilitation and development programs -How to reach people who are not part of a stable, cohesive social support group (including migrants – both domestic and international, the poorest, elders, orphans and widows)? -How to promote approaches that can help better reach out and provide support to the most vulnerable populations? -How to promote support to the poorest – often socially excluded – while not marginalizing them further in their community? -How to create a system to share experiences on preventing and mitigating the impacts of large scale shocks onto vulnerable people – especially in the context of a very informal economy with many illegal migrants?
