Ethiopia’s Refugee response: Focus on Socio-Economic Integration and Self-Reliance

Implementation of the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework represents a major shift in Ethiopia’s refugee policy. Refugees living in camps will benefit from paid employment. Those in protracted situations will have opportunities to integrate locally and live outside camps. Jobs will be created for host communities and government will access international finance and political benefits. Expected implementation challenges include ethnic and resource-related tensions and low wages.
