📍Kakuma, in Turkana County, is one of the largest refugee settlements in the world, hosting over 300,000 people from across the region 🌍

Here, Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo accompanied Vincenzo Del Monaco, Ambassador of Italy to Kenya, on a mission organised by UNHCR KENYA to gain first-hand insight into one of the most complex and dynamic humanitarian realities on the African continent 🇮🇹🇰🇪

🏥📚 From integrated health facilities to schools welcoming both refugee students and members of host communities, from meetings with local authorities to refugee-led organisations, and discussions with young students from the UNICORE programme, the mission offered a close look at a reality marked by the daily challenges of hosting displaced populations, but also by the opportunities emerging through a new approach promoted by the Government of Kenya—one increasingly focused on the socio-economic inclusion of refugees and peaceful coexistence with host communities.

🌱 A path that looks beyond emergency response, transforming reception, education, and essential services into opportunities for shared development. 🇮🇹🤝🇰🇪

🙏 Our sincere thanks to UNHCR Kenya and the Department of Refugee Services for the excellent organization of the mission and for their invaluable daily work in support of refugee and host communities in Kakuma.
