Socio-economic Integration Strategies of “Former Rwandan Refugees” in Yaoundé, Cameroon.

This research is entitled The Socio-economic Integration Strategies of "former Rwandan refugees" in Yaoundé, Cameroon. This is an analysis of immigrants who were once under international protection. The presence of former Rwandan refugees in the city of Yaoundé dates back to the time of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. With the advent of the cessation clause in 2018, we are faced with individuals who must find ways of coping with the new realities. Based on the assimilation and integration of immigrant, this study analyzes the integration strategies of former Rwandan refugees. This integration is facilitated by a social context described as welcoming and less restrictive. The data collection method is based on semi-structured interviews, a literature review and direct observation. The theoretical framework and methodology used enabled us to understand that integration and assimilation within the Rwandan community are due to constant contact and interaction with the host society.
