Working environment
Kenya is generously hosting over 500,000 refugees and asylum-seekers, the majority from Somalia and South Sudan.In cooperation with the Government of Kenya, and supported by humanitarian and development partners, UNHCR will work to ensure access to asylum as well as a conducive protection and solutions environment; including maintenance of the civilian and humanitarian character of refugee-hosting areas. In addition, UNHCR will promote long-term development opportunities by supporting initiatives for peaceful coexistence and socio-economic integration among refugee and host communities. To this end, UNHCR will partner with the Government, development actors and private sector to support implementation of area-based development programmes, notably, the 2013-2017 Turkana County Integrated Development Plan, which includes the new Kalobeyei settlement.
Key priorities
In 2017, UNHCR’s operation will focus on:• Enabling area-based, socio-economic integration solutions in Kalobeyei’s refugee and host communities.
• Supporting voluntary repatriation to Somalia through tripartite mechanisms in partnership with the Governments of Kenya and Somalia and the support of the international community.
• Advocating for more resettlement opportunities in third countries, in a spirit of responsibility-sharing.
