Kenya will transition Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps into integrated settlements in which refugees are expected to co-exist with host communities and benefit from government services as the state starts the planned closure of the two camps over security concerns.
An intergovernmental steering committee was launched Wednesday to align the transition plan with the country’s national security priorities and laws.
