Abstract

The Government of Kenya maintains an open-door asylum policy and two of the world’s largest refugee camp complexes (Kakuma/Kalobeyei and Dadaab) are found in Kenya. The majority of refugees and asylum seekers in Kenya originate from Somalia (53.7%). Other major nationalities are South Sudanese (24.7%), Congolese (9%) and Ethiopians (5.8%). Persons of concern from other nationalities including Sudan, Rwanda, Eritrea, Burundi, Uganda and others make up 6.7% of the total population of 494,921, as at the end of June 2020.
