Working environment
The Government of Ethiopia has an open door policy for refugees. It, however, maintains reservations to the 1951 Convention regarding the right to work and freedom of movement for refugees living in Ethiopia. In 2016, localised security incidents affected the operation in Gambella region. Violent protests that erupted in the Amhara and Oromia regions led to the declaration of a six month State of Emergency across the country in October 2016. Ethiopia is also experiencing one of its worst droughts in decades and the negative impact is anticipated to reverberate into 2017.Key priorities
In 2017 UNHCR’s operation will focus on:• safeguarding the institution of asylum, mainstreaming protection into all programmes;
• support access into services for people of concern;
• active pursuit of durable solutions and provision of alternatives to onward movements; and
• development of innovative, more cost-effective and sustainable ways to deliver basic services, including life-saving activities.
Critical gaps include:
• Some 50 per cent of school-age refugee children are estimated to be out of school on average (i.e., 46 per cent at primary level and 93 per cent at secondary level).
• Due to limited resources, 15 additional health facilities, which are needed to provide sufficient coverage, will not be constructed.
• 50 per cent of the refugee population is without adequate household latrines. In most of the camps, provision of minimum 20 litres of water per person (standard) cannot be achieved.
• Malnutrition rates remain high, because contributing factors are not adequately addressed (provision of sufficient clean water, sanitation, food rations, household energy).
• 95 per cent of refugee youth will remain without access to targeted nutrition programmes.
