Year-end Overview
Plan Overview
Operational Environment
The security situation in Djibouti is relatively safe and stable, with no immediate risks in sight. In 2018, UNHCR will continue to protect and provide for the refugees and asylum-seekers from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and Yemen.
The welcoming stance of the Government of Djibouti lays out a good foundation for the well-being of the refugees and others of concern. The Government’s orientation of inclusivity was demonstrated by the National Refugee Law, which was passed in early 2017. The Government continues to work toward providing refugee protection through legal framework in the upcoming issuance of decrees.
An active and engaged member of the international community, Djibouti embraces global cooperation on refugee rights and protection, but is also proactive in implementing progressive action within its borders. It is a roll-out country of the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF), an initiative that aims to bolster the well-being of both host communities and refugees.
Djibouti has already made good progress in extending quality education to refugee children, and in 2018 UNHCR continues to advocate for refugee inclusion in national health insurance coverage.
The Office has a strong network of operational and financial partners in Djibouti. In addition to the Government of Djibouti, key partners include donors, other UN agencies, and local NGOs.
Key Priorities
In 2018, UNHCR will focus on:
- Advocating for durable solutions and implementing livelihood programmes that will enable refugees to become self-sufficient;
- Building the capacity of national institutions to ensure that asylum procedures are efficiently applied and in compliance with international standards;
