<p>DFID assesses that opportunities for refugees to work in Kakuma Refugee Camp in
Kenya and other refugee camps, can provide considerable benefit for host communities.
This includes through increased refugee spending on local goods and services and in
some cases, the hiring of host community members to work in refugee owned businesses
and homes. The findings of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the UN
Refugee Agency (UNHCR) study on Kakuma, are consistent with DFID’s recent support
to refugees in Kenya, which has helped build the self-reliance of refugees, including
through livelihoods opportunities and greater integration with host communities. DFID
Kenya has participated in a number of discussions with IFC/UNHCR, the private sector
and other development partners on the findings of the study and its implications for
donor programming in Kenya.</p>
