Year-end Overview
Plan Overview
Operational Environment
The continuing inflation in Eritrea remains a challenge and is expected to have a negative impact on the delivery of assistance in 2018. The total number of people of concern is just above 2,400, out of which some 2,300 are camp-based Somali refugees and the remaining 100 are urban refugees from Ethiopia, South Sudan and Sudan. Refugees are living in harmony with the host community and this is expected to continue in 2018.
The non-issuance of exit permits for refugees to leave the country on resettlement or voluntary repatriation remains a challenge in implementing durable solutions.
Food commodities, school materials, and construction materials are procured through government partner from government supplier fairly. The Ministry of Health is providing technical assistance and relevant training to the health staff in charge of the camp clinic.
Key priorities
In 2018, UNHCR will focus on:
- Resettlement and voluntary return to country of origin and remain the main priorities;
- Strengthening engagement in the UN country team (UNCT);
- Providing basic assistance to urban refugees in the form of monthly multipurpose cash grants;
- Providing basic assistance to the camp based refugees, including cash grants to improve livelihoods and self-reliance, shelter, access to education, both cash and in-kind food assistance, access to health services, sufficient water, and enhanced response to and prevention of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV);
- Liaising with the Government counterparts and other UN agencies, where applicable, including UNICEF and the ministry of Health to ensure nutrition needs are met, and UNFPA in addressing SGBV.
