| Summary: | As of March 30, 2020, Ethiopia was
hosting 758,199 registered refugees and asylum seekers,
making it the second largest refugee-hosting country in
Africa. Ethiopia is in the process of making far-reaching
changes to its refugee policies. In 2016, it made nine
pledges at the Leaders’ Summit on Refugees held in New York
aimed at helping refugees gain greater mobility; improving
access to services, especially education; expanding access
to livelihoods, jobs, and irrigable land; and facilitating
the local integration of long-term refugees. In February
2019, the Ethiopian parliament adopted a new refugee
proclamation to facilitate the implementation of its
pledges. Secondary legislation that will give effect to the
proclamation is under preparation. This report, commissioned
during this changing policy context, examines the social
impacts of protracted displacement on the lives of refugees
and host communities. |
