A 5-year costed plan for inclusive local development: A Government-led and community-owned plan for inclusive & sustainable local development in the refugee-hosting districts of Bokolmayo & Dollo Ado in Ethiopia’s south-eastern Somali Region
WHY THE COMPACT?
The humanitarian situation for refugee and host communities in Ethiopia’s southeast Somali Region is protracted, complex and deteriorating. Return prospects for refugees from Somalia remain very modest.
Refugee and host communities have been living for almost 15 years peacefully and in and an integrated manner.
The five refugee camps that were initially established as temporary measures have become integrated settlements and are future towns.
Due to drought, predominantly pastoralist populations are moving towards peri-urban agglomerations, in search of access to basic needs & services such as food, water, health, and of alternative income generating activities.
We thus anticipate that these agglomerations will grow further in the future.
Humanitarian support to this silent and protracted crisis is decreasing, development and climate adaptation support is urgently required to further empower host and refugee communities socio-economically, to support their adaptation to a rapidly changing climate, and to harness the development dividends of humanitarian assistance by supporting the gradual integration into Government systems.
