Working environment
In Djibouti, some 37 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line and unemployment levels are at up to 60 per cent, depending on the region. In this difficult environment, Djibouti hosts over 24,000 refugees, primarily Somalis and Yemenis, but also other nationalities including Eritreans and Ethiopians.Given the lack of resources in the country, refugees depend solely on humanitarian aid. Access to farmland and drinking water remain major issues of concern. The Kenyan education curriculum (English) used in camp schools is not recognized by the Government of Djibouti nor that of Somalia. In public hospitals refugees are not considered as “vulnerable”; as a result refugees’ medical fees must be fully covered by UNHCR. Refugee status determination (RSD) procedures require strengthening to ensure sustainable processing of asylum claims.
Key priorities
In 2017, UNHCR operation in Djibouti will focus on: • Continuing life-saving interventions, with an emphasis on health/nutrition, shelter, education, prevention and response to SGBV, water management, and services for those with specific needs;
• advocating for the inclusion of refugees in national education and health systems:
• advocating the adoption and implementation of a national law on refugees;
• promoting durable solutions, including voluntary repatriation, resettlement and local integration;
• Strengthening the capacity of government mechanisms for refugee status determination (RSD); and
• encouraging the Government of Djibouti to engage further in the Khartoum process to address the root causes and ensure adequate management of mixed migration
