As the number of refugees Ethiopia is hosting continues to increase, the country has launched a two-years’ refugee response plan in partnership with the UN agency.
The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) describes Ethiopia’s historic new refugee law, as ‘one of the most progressive refugee policies in Africa’ allowing refugees to obtain work permits.
The number of refugees in Ethiopia has crossed the 900,000 mark with 920, 262 men, women, boys, girls and children registered in the country as of 31st May 2018, says the UN agency for refugees.
