This report comes at a crucial time when the unprecedented global refugee crisis, most notably in Europe and the Mediterranean, has not only focused the world’s attention on the plight of refugees, but has also led to the politicization of refugee influxes. This report, which provides an original analysis of the economic and social impact of refugees in Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp on their Turkana hosts, therefore comes at an opportune time and can resonate with governments and policy makers beyond Kenya’s borders. In particular, the methodology the authors have developed enables to run policy scenarios in a rigorous manner, ranging from encampment to decampment (that is, camp closure) scenarios, and the potential to apply this methodology in other refugee situations around the world is particularly advantageous. |
