This month, our Protection team published a Brief highlighting the significant challenges in birth registration for refugees and asylum-seekers in Ethiopia. The brief recommends scaling up registration efforts by simplifying administrative procedures, expanding alternative mechanisms like mobile units, and raising community awareness through targeted campaigns. It also emphasizes the need to integrate birth registration into broader programmes in health and education and calls for increased donor support and collaboration with the Ethiopian government to ensure all refugee children are registered and protected.
