The top U.N. official for refugees praised Kenya's plans Tuesday for an integration program that would aim to make refugees self-sufficient, as he met with the Kenyan president on Marking World Refugee Day.
Kenya hosts more than 600,000 refugees, hailing from 23 countries, including neighboring Somalia, South Sudan and Ethiopia. The majority live in Dadaab and Kakuma camps, north of the country. The camps are overcrowded and basic services are overstretched.
Grandi added that a model of the integration program was set up in Turkana County a few years ago and that the refugee community is already reaping the benefits. Kenya’s Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, who attended the event, said that through promoting “the socio-economic inclusion of refugees, we are collectively preparing them” for voluntary return to their countries.
