• Out of 905,831 registered refugees in Ethiopia, 65,750 are in need of resettlement in 2018.

• UNHCR Ethiopia’s resettlement submissions target for 2018 was 4,240 individuals to the USA, New Zealand, Sweden and Canada, which was revised downwards to 3,240 individuals.

• To date, 2,136 refugees were referred to the RSC for onward submission to resettlement countries, 1,907 refugees have been submitted and 608 have departed.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Resettlement is an invaluable protection tool for UNHCR Ethiopia as it addresses the specific needs of refugees who are vulnerable due to their experiences in their country of origin and/or whose safety, health or other fundamental rights are at risk in Ethiopia, by providing them an opportunity to rebuild their lives in a new country.

• Resettlement remains the primary durable solution available to refugees in Ethiopia due to the continued instability in neighboring countries rendering voluntary repatriation untenable. Opportunities for local integration remain limited although the future looks bright in this regard with Ethiopia as a focus country for the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF).

• Resettlement as a durable solution is available only to those refugees who meet very precise criteria. Although over 65,000 refugees in Ethiopia satisfy these criteria, the primary constraint on resettlement abroad is the quota provided by countries of resettlement, which is far too low to meet current need.

• As resettlement numbers are dictated by quota and not need, resettlement is not a right that can be claimed by refugees.

• UNHCR Ethiopia identifies and addresses the needs of the vulnerable within all refugee populations hosted in the country, including those with specific needs as well as those in protracted situations. The main refugee populations resettled abroad from Ethiopia are Eritreans, Somalis, South Sudanese, Sudanese as well as a few refugees from the Great Lakes.

• UNHCR Ethiopia’s resettlement submissions target for 2018 was set at 4,240 refugees, mainly to the USA, but had to be revised to 3,240. However, UNHCR continued to advocate for resettlement quota with different countries and has secured submissions to New Zealand, Sweden and Canada for 2018.

• As of September 2018, 2,136 refugees were referred to the Regional Service Centre in Nairobi for onward submission to resettlement countries and 1,907 refugees have been submitted to resettlement countries.

• In light of the changes that US made in relation to Somalis, UNHCR Ethiopia had to revise the overall target in September and it was adjusted to 3,240 individuals.

• 167,695 refugees in Ethiopia are between the ages of 15-24, representing 18.5% of the registered refugee population in the country

• 63,495 refugee youth are South Sudanese sheltered in camps in the Gambella region. They make up 38% of the youth refugee population in Ethiopia

• In Pugnido camp, Gambella, a ‘Youth Peace Education Club’, comprising of young people from the host and refugee communities, work on initiatives aimed at fostering peaceful co-existence and peace-building

HIGHLIGHTS

• The Refugee Camps in the Gambella region- hosting over 400,000 South Sudanese refugees shelter the largest number of refugee youth, representing 38% of the overall refugee youth population in the country. In the Shire camps, the youth constitute 41% of the total refugee population.

• Displaced youth have the ability to play a significant role in the protection and development of their communities as well as those hosting them. Despite the important role refugee youth play, their concerns are rarely reflected in the programmatic responses of UN, NGOs and other organizations working in humanitarian response. Youth have skills, abilities and needs that are rarely fully recognized. Their engagement in peaceful coexistence interventions and in preventing intra- and inter- communal conflicts is crucial.

• UNHCR and partners are engaging adolescent girls in the Melkadida camps in learning and making handicrafts such as baskets, mats, artificial fans, and brooms. The programme aims at girls’ empowerment through socialization and skills development which contributes to their protection from various risks mainly from Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV). Besides, the youth are benefiting from skills and Functional Adult Literacy (FAL) training as well as psychosocial programmes with the overall objective of empowering the youth and addressing their psychosocial needs.

• UNHCR and partners continue engaging the youth in different awareness-raising activities on the risks of onward movement of refugees. Such activities were undertaken mainly in camps in the Tigray region as well as in Addis Ababa. In the former, UNHCR and partners support sport and recreational activities and help to address the psychosocial needs of refugee youth. In Shemelba camp, information centers (mini-media) and migration desks (mini library) have been established in the refugee youth centers aimed at helping the youth to make informed decisions regarding onward migration.

• UNHCR is currently implementing youth-led projects supported by UNHCR Department of International Potection‘s ‘Youth Initiative Funding’. The projects are being implemented specifically in refugee camps and surrounding host communities under UNHCR’s Sub Office Jijiga and those under Field Office Pugnido.

• As part of the project’s implementation in Jijiga, boys and girls drawn from the both the refugees and host communities participate in basketball and volleyball activities, which are also strategically linked with awareness raising and skills training covering topics such as Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), Child Protection (CP), irregular migration and peaceful co-existence. In line with the CRRF, the project promotes integration of refugee programming within the national system through collaboration with the Regional Youth and Sports Bureau.

• In Pugnido (Gambella) where the ‘Pugnido Peace Education Club’ has been running since 2017, the community-based peace-building initiative continues, focusing on peaceful co-existence. The initiative is owned and led by the youth and has contributed towards addressing key protection issues of young people, including fostering peaceful co-existence between the two communities.

This Weekly Bulletin focuses on selected acute public health emergencies occurring in the WHO African Region. The WHO Health Emergencies Programme is currently monitoring 55 events in the region. This week’s edition covers key new and ongoing events, including:

• Yellow fever in Ethiopia
• Ebola virus disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
• Cholera in Niger
• Humanitarian crisis in Democratic Republic of the Congo
• Humanitarian crisis in South Sudan.

For each of these events, a brief description, followed by public health measures implemented and an interpretation of the situation is provided.

A table is provided at the end of the bulletin with information on all new and ongoing public health events currently being monitored in the region, as well as events that have recently been closed.

Major issues and challenges include:

• The persistence of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in North Kivu and Ituri provinces, Democratic Republic of the Congo remains a serious concern. The incidence of new confirmed EVD cases has been increasing in the last four weeks, most notably in the city of Beni and communities around Butembo. There is a complex environment around the EVD outbreak emanating from a mixture of security challenges and misconception/mistrust within some communities. This has complicated the response efforts in many ways. The Ministry of Health, WHO and partners continue to work closely with communities, constantly adapting to the complex situations, while fully aware that there is a challenging road ahead before this outbreak will be declared over.
  
• A new outbreak of yellow fever has been confirmed in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ (SNNP) Region, located in the south-western part of Ethiopia. This outbreak is of concern since the population of Ethiopia is highly susceptible to yellow fever due to absence of recent exposure and lack of large-scale immunizations. Ongoing population and livestock movements due to conflicts in the region also constitute a risk for further spread of the disease. While a reactive vaccination campaign was swiftly carried out in the affected area, there is a need to scale up the response to other at-risk areas as well as adopting longer term control measures.

HIGHLIGHTS

• By the end of September 2018, there were a total of 22,885 refugees in the capital Addis Ababa, mainly from Eritrea, Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and refugees of other nationalities, including those from the Great Lakes region.

• Of the total population, 868 are children, who either arrived alone (377 children) or were separated from their parents or relatives during flight (491 children).

• Of the urban refugee population, 18,122 (79%) are Eritrean refugees. Of these, 17,217 are beneficiaries of the Government’s Out-Of-Camp Policy.

• UNHCR provides reception services at the Urban Refugee Reception Centre, located around what is popularly known as the Hayahulet Mazoriya in Addis Ababa. In addition to registration and documentation services, individual protection and resettlement counselling are available at the center from Monday to Thursday every week, between 9:00 am and 4:30 pm.

• UNHCR undertook its yearly participatory assessment with refugees living in Addis Ababa in August 2018.The findings will assist the UN Refugee Agency to better understand the situation of refugees and will inform the planned programmatic and service delivery activities.

• Coordination of protection programs targeting refugees in Addis Ababa is done through the monthly Urban and Kenya Borena Sub-Working Group meetings, that are held every 1st Wednesday of the month from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the UNHCR office in Bole. The forum brings together the government refugee agency (ARRA), UNHCR and all the partners working with refugees in Addis Ababa in order to ensure coordinated response in service delivery and efficient use of resources in line with UNHCR protection priorities.

• Ethiopia hosts 905,831 refugees and asylum seekers within its borders, including the 36,185 who arrived since the start of 2018.

• The Government of Ethiopia has committed to address the concerns of refugees, including a pledge to grant local integration to those who have lived in the country for 20 years and above.

• Resettlement remains the chief durable solution for refugees in Ethiopia, but limited quotas mean that only 3,240 refugees will be referred to resettlement countries in 2018.

HIGHLIGHTS

• UNHCR supports the Government of Ethiopia in discharging its international obligations, fulfilling the organization’s core objectives to provide refugees and other persons of concern with international protection, and to seek durable solutions for them. The three traditional durable solutions are complementary and are pursued together:

  • Voluntary repatriation, in which refugees return in safety and with dignity to their countries of origin and re-avail themselves of national protection;
    
  • Resettlement, in which refugees are selected and transferred from the country of refuge to a third state which has agreed to admit them as refugees with permanent residence status; and
    
  • Local integration, in which refugees legally, economically and socially integrate in the host country, availing themselves of the national protection of the host government.
    

• UNHCR and partners support livelihoods programmes for refugees in order to reduce vulnerability and dependency on humanitarian assistance. Refugees who actively support themselves are better equipped to take on the challenges of any of the durable solutions. UNHCR recognizes the stress that the presence of refugees can place on already-impoverished host communities and works closely with development actors and regional governments to mitigate the impact. UNHCR advocates for complementarity of services for refugees and host communities, and seeks to ensure that refugees are included in their intervention and development plans, thereby promoting peaceful co-existence.

• UNHCR Ethiopia is committed to assisting refugees in accessing complementary legal pathways including family reunification and other humanitarian migration programmes, such as private sponsorship, study and employment possibilities. UNHCR Ethiopia continues to issue refugees with proof of registration documents and provides advice on how to process family reunification cases. Specifically, UNHCR directly assists unregistered refugee children in accessing the services and documentation necessary to reunite with their family members abroad. UNHCR Ethiopia is also involved in the issuance of Convention Travel Documents (CTDs), which permits refugees to undertake international travel for employment, education and to seek medical treatment unavailable in Ethiopia.

• The innovative Italian Humanitarian Corridor program was officially launched in 2017 and aims to relocate 500 refugees to Italy. UNHCR has undertaken this project with two faith-based organizations, Caritas Italiana and Sant’Egidio Community, through which refugees with family links in Italy as well as those with protection and medical vulnerabilities are able to find a durable solution. To date, 327 refugees have departed for new lives in Italy.

It is a quiet day in the surgical ward at the Yei hospital. There are just three patients. One child is recovering from severe burns after suffering an epileptic seizure and falling into an open fire. Another is still very ill with bed sores. On a bed outside the ward, a man rests his leg after an operation to close wounds caused by a motorbike accident.

While its peaceful now, there is plenty of activity underway to prepare for that to change, if the Ebola Virus Disease migrates to South Sudan from neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, where an outbreak is affecting communities about 300 kilometres away from Yei.

The risk of Ebola spreading has been declared “very high” by health authorities, requiring nearby countries to develop and test operational readiness for a potential response. A national taskforce has been set up by the South Sudan government with the support of the World Health Organization and other UN agencies to raise public awareness and develop a contingency plan.

In Yei, a major problem is the porous border between the countries. Just three of the 15 main routes are currently being surveilled for the virus, and most people, including many refugees, slip across via unofficial routes as violent conflict continues to affect both sides.

“That creates a very big risk. You find that, while there are official entry points with checkpoints, people are using other unofficial entry roads,” said Medical Officer Dr Joice Dominic Rlazario. “It’s been good up till now because we don’t have any cases of Ebola within Yei River but, if there is any case that enters, it will be very challenging tracing those people who come through the porous borders.”

Ebola is a very serious disease that can kill in a short period of time. But it can also be prevented by avoiding direct physical contact with someone infected and their body fluids, washing hands thoroughly with soap and water, avoiding communal handwashing during funeral rites and ensuring anyone who dies from Ebola is buried immediately by a trained team.

In Yei, an isolation area has been established at the hospital and clinicians are being trained. Surveillance is underway at the airstrip and there are house-to-house mobilization efforts to educate people about prevention. But ongoing fighting between armed groups in the area is limiting the reach of health professionals.

The Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of the UN Mission in South Sudan, David Shearer, was briefed on the issue by health professionals and local authorities during a visit to the area.

“Ebola knows no boundaries,” he said. “It will run right across fighting groups and just keep on going, so we have to be able to get out to those people in the opposition-held areas and be able to do the same sort of awareness and the same sort of training that we are doing in the government-held towns and around the hospitals.”

There is also an urgent need for funding for a dedicated ambulance to respond to potential cases as the hospital’s only vehicle has broken down.

“As we are speaking now, if a case came, or a suspected case was identified, or we got an alert, we don’t have a vehicle where we can transport that patient from the site to the isolation facility,” said Dr Joice Dominic Rlazario.

She is grateful for the support provided by the World Health Organization and UN agencies but hopes that government and opposition forces will now work together to silence the guns so that an adequate prevention and action plan can be put in place.

“We thank God that we have a new peace agreement, but we pray that it comes quickly to Yei so that we can make sure that Ebola does not,” she said.

1. Highlights

• The World Health Organization Regional Director, Dr Matshidiso Moeti, visited South Sudan to open the Public Health Emergency Operations Center in Juba.

• The vaccine expert has arrived Juba and the four new WHO consultants were deployed to high risks states of Yambio, Yei, Torit (Nimule) and Wau in response to the re-classification of South Sudan to “very high risk” from “high risk” status.

• IOM has finalized the processes of opening two new border screening points at the South Sudan/Uganda border at Korijo IPD Camp and Pure. While Korijo is an informal border crossing point with an estimated population of 40,294, Pure is a formal border crossing with about 50 persons per day crossing the border posts.

• Two Ebola alerts were reported in Nimule, although they did not meet case definition, samples were collected to test the sample collection and delivery techniques from Torit state.

• WHO have deployed Incident Manager at National level to provide leadership for National Taskforce. WHO had established field office in Yei River state and deployed for experts to strengthen preparedness activities.

(Statement by Foreign Press Secretary Takeshi Osuga)

Japan welcomes the fact that the Republic of South Sudan successfully held the Peace Ceremony for the signing of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) without any major disruptions in Juba on October 31.

Japan highly values the strong political will and commitments by relevant parties including the Government of the Republic of South Sudan and the opposition leaders to observe the permanent ceasefire and to implement the Agreement. It also expresses its respect for great efforts made by the Government of Sudan and other IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development) countries as well as the IGAD Secretariat to promote peace in South Sudan.

Japan will contribute to support, in cooperation with the international community, the implementation of the Agreement as well as the efforts towards peace and stability in South Sudan.

Overview

The continuation of conflict since December 2013 has created a complex humanitarian crisis in the country, restricting humanitarian access and hindering the flow of information required by aid partners to deliver humanitarian assistance to populations in need. To address information gaps facing the humanitarian response in South Sudan,
REACH employs its Area of Knowledge (AoK) methodology to collect relevant information in hardto-reach areas to inform humanitarian planning and interventions outside formal settlement sites.

Using the AoK methodology, REACH remotely monitors needs and access to services in the Greater Upper Nile, Greater Equatoria and Greater Bahr el Ghazal regions. AoK data is collected monthly and through multi-sector interviews with the following typology of Key Informants (KIs):

• KIs who are newly arrived internally displaced persons (IDPs) who have left a hard-to-reach settlement in the last month

• KIs who have had contact with someone living or have been in a hard-to-reach settlement in the last month (traders, migrants, family members, etc.)

• KIs who are remaining in hard-to-reach settlements, contacted through phone Selected KIs are purposively sampled and have knowledge from within the last month about a specific settlement in South Sudan, with data collected at the settlement level. About half of settlements assessed have more than one KI reporting on the settlement.
In these cases, data presented at the settlement level is the modal (most frequent) response for KIs reporting on that settlement. If there is an even number of ‘yes/no’ responses, data is aggregated as ‘no consensus’.

All percentages presented in this factsheet, unless otherwise specified, represent the proportion of settlements assessed with that specific response

Nairobi – Eight countries in the East and Horn of Africa have committed to the establishment of “inter-agency cross-border technical working groups” that would facilitate the implementation of 22 identified good practices meant to boost cooperation and improve the efficiency of border operations.

The region’s borders are some of the busiest, as they cut across key migration routes focused on the movement of people within the region and to other major destinations, including Europe and the Gulf countries. Disparate national priorities among adjourning countries do not always make cooperation possible. But this could soon be thing of the past, as border authority managers from neighbouring states – some meeting for the first time – established a new rapport and struck significant operational agreements.

This followed a first-of-its-kind workshop organized by the UN migration agency IOM in late October that brought together directors general of immigration and senior immigration and border management officers from Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania.

The workshop took place under the aegis of the Better Migration Management (BMM) Programme - a regional, multi-year and multi-partner programme funded by the EU Trust Fund for Africa and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), coordinated by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).

Bilateral and trilateral meetings between and among representatives of all the eight countries represented produced significant results for implementation. The highlights of these IOM-facilitated meetings, include:

First time agreement between Ethiopia and South Sudan to conduct joint, cross border patrols; and to work together to open new border crossings points between the two countries. Sudan and South Sudan agreed to work together to open four border crossing points, including One Stop Border Posts. Uganda and South Sudan agreed to implement joint, cross border patrols, and to establish “Integrated Border Management Committees”. Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia agreed to implement Integrated Border Management Committees; and Joint Interagency, Cross- Border Patrols. Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania agreed to increased cooperation and implement “Good Practices” on Counter-Trafficking efforts; implement Joint Interagency Cross- Border Patrols.

The eight countries requested IOM to support a follow-up meeting to buttress the establishment of the proposed interagency, cross-border, technical working Groups. IOM is currently developing action plans to respond to stakeholder requests which will be funded through BMM and will be completed by June 30, 2019.

Keynote speaker at the workshop, Kenya Principal Secretary for Immigration and Registration of Persons, Rtd Maj-Gen Gordon Kihalangwa, said: “With increasing complexity of migration flows, countries in the East and Horn of Africa region should enhance cross-border cooperation in order to effectively deal with existing challenges in border management which include; trafficking of persons and smuggling of migrants among other forms of transnational organized crime”.

Julia Hartlieb, the BMM Senior Regional Programme Coordinator, said: “The Better Migration Management Programme has recorded key milestones in providing support to countries through the National Coordination Mechanisms for Migration, the provision of equipment and MIDAS border equipment, training, benchmarking visits to operationalization of e-visa and e-immigration systems.
