ABSTRACT: Introduction: Many Nations of the world have been confronted for years with insurgencies led by terrorist groups, armed and inter-ethnic groups which have strongly disrupted socio-economic life with enormous collateral effects including the displacement of affected populations being forced to live in conditions of health and sometimes global precariousness. The aim of the study is to identify literature that has addressed the theme of resilience among refugees from several contextual facets. Method: We carried out a secondary study and carried out the documentary narrative review from December 10, 2022 to January 7, 2023. Results: After a census, we found that the individuals who were victims of these atrocities had developed their own way of taking care of themselves healthily, economically and socially. The others organized themselves into communities to help absorb the shocks they experienced, and for some, it was the host States which allowed them, with the help of certain partners, to recover from their precarious post-conflict life. Finally, the resilience of refugees is ensured by the countries of a victim sub-region, by pooling their efforts in order to stem the tragedy. Conclusion: The notion of resilience has been contextualized differently depending on the situations experienced by refugees in several facets: Individual, Community, National and Regional resilience.
