<p>DFID is working in Africa to improve the conditions for the poorest people and
to address overall stability and security. DFID monitors the numbers of refugees and
internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Sahel region as part of routine humanitarian
surveillance but does not specifically monitor routes followed by irregular migrants.
There are no plans to set up such monitoring systems. Similarly DFID provides humanitarian
support across the Sahel region to refugees and IDPs, with £12m to UNHCR for refugee
support and £17.5m through ICRC in support of conflict affected people provided across
the region since January 2013. DFID Ethiopia also is providing £0.5m support to Eritrean
refugees. This includes sensitisation messages on the difficulties of legal and illegal
migration, and support for unaccompanied children who need special protection.</p><p>
