  • Host Community Support Briefing Note
    DADAAB REFUGEE CAMPS, KENYA UNHCR’S SUPPORT TO THE HOST COMMUNITY November 2014 BACKGROUND The presence of over 350,000 refugees across five camps brings along numerous challenges and changes for local communities. Kenyans have been hosting the Dadaab refugee complex for more than 23 years. In order to overcome the perception that refugees are benefiting from international assistance while the local population is neglected, UNHCR and partners have been providing compensating projects and services. Since 2011, UNHCR has supported the Kenyan community residing in the wider Dadaab region in establishing community assets worth Photo UNHCR/Dadaab over USD 5 million. Dadaab camps and humanitarian compounds are spread across four different constituencies: Wajir South Constituency Kenyan woman and child in Saretho (Wajir County) and Lagdera, Dadaab and Fafi Constituencies (all Garissa County). Kambioos, Hagadera and the UNHCR Alinjugur Field Office/Compound are located in Fafi Constituency. The UNHCR Dadaab Office/Compound is located in Dadaab constituency whereas the camps Ifo, Ifo 2 and Dagahaley are in Lagdera constituency. Dagahaley is also partly located in Wajir South. UNHCR’s assistance is benefiting a host community population of 60,390 in Dadaab, 137,600 in Fafi and 130,070 in Wajir South. UNHCR’s partners for host community peaceful coexistence projects are three local Community Based Organizations (CBOs), namely, Fafi Integrated Development Association (FaIDA), Relief, Reconstruction and Development Organization (RRDO) and Pastoralist Initiative for Development and Advocacy (PIDAD) which cover Fafi, Lagdera/Dadaab and Wajir South sub-counties.

Justin Muturi) in the Chair] PRAYERS PETITIONS RE-ALIGNMENT OF EMBAKASI WEST BOUNDARIES Hon. George Theuri (Embakasi West, JP): Thank you Hon. Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the people of Embakasi West Constituency draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, Article 10(2) of the Constitution identifies inclusiveness as one of the aspects constituting the national values and principles of governance; THAT, Embakasi West Constituency, Embakasi South Constituency, Embakasi North Constituency, Embakasi Central Constituency and Embakasi East Constituency were hived off from the then Embakasi Constituency, which covered a massive area of 208 km²; THAT, as a result of the split of the then Embakasi Constituency, the residents of Embakasi West Constituency have been experiencing numerous unjustified inconveniences when seeking public services on account of administrative and jurisdictional boundaries due to the location of various public institutions and offices in areas outside the jurisdiction of the constituency; THAT, those challenges are exemplified by the fact that, for example, the offices of the Ministry of Education as well as those of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government still use pre-2010 Constitution boundaries to manage the affairs pertaining to Embakasi West Constituency; THAT, as a result, various regions of the constituency fall under the jurisdiction of different sub-counties, with examples being Mowlem Ward which falls under Njiru Sub-County, Kariobangi/Uhuru Ward which has some of its area falling under Kamukunji Sub-County, Umoja One and Umoja Two wards which fall under Embakasi Sub-County; THAT, in addition, several schools established within the jurisdiction of the constituency fall under other sub-counties.
