Pledges 2011 - Ministerial Intergovernmental Event on Refugees and Stateless Persons
V. Urban refugee situation
Kenya hosts about 100,000 refugees in the urban areas. Urban refugees are
allowed to engage in income-generating activities and access all amenities
available in the urban areas.
VI. Durable solutions
Kenya strives find a lasting solution to the refugee problem through repatriation, resettlement and local integration. Repatriation has been largely
successful especially for South Sudanese, Rwandan, and Ethiopian refugees.
VII. Protracted refugee situation
Protracted refugee situations remain a major concern for Kenya. It is evident that no single country can achieve solutions alone. However, Kenya
is taking a bold effort to stabilize Somalia with aim of preventing refugee
influx and enabling refugees currently living in Kenya to return.
VIII. Mixed migration
Kenya pledges to give a window of opportunity for mixed migration cases
to access its asylum system. Indeed Kenya gave asylum to numerous mixed
migration caseloads and access to its asylum system. An example of such
a group is one rescued at sea by the American Navy who was admitted to
Kakuma refugee camp.
IX. International cooperation
Kenya pledges to remain committed to fostering international cooperation and burden sharing to assist and protect refugees and statelessness
persons.
