Foreword
Ethiopia is the second largest refugee-hosting country in Africa and has a long and generous history of hosting refugees, maintaining an open-door asylum policy and giving humanitarian access and protection to those seeking refuge. Currently, Ethiopia hosts over 0.75 million refugee and asylum seekers in 26 refugee camps and more than 99 per cent of them originate from four countries: South Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea and Sudan. Most of the refugee camps have limited services and opportunities and refugees are mostly dependent on humanitarian assistance. In addition, over 1.7 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are in need of durable solutions in different parts of the country.
