Action by Churches Together (ACT) Kakuma Refugee Camp - AFKE-03 Appeal Target : US$ 1,248,200 (Total Project Value 3,907,722) Geneva, 22 June 2000
As the number of refugees mainly from the Southern Sudan continue to flow into Kenya, LWF continues to be the lead agency in the Kakuma refugee camp in providing basic humanitarian needs in partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). In addition to the war between the government of Sudan and the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA), the current severe famine affecting millions of people in the Horn of Africa and the rest of East Africa has exacerbated the number of refugees crossing into Kenya to seek asylum. The Kenyan Government has housed most of these refugees in two major refugee settlements - Kakuma and Dadaab camps. At present, Kakuma camp is home to 86,500 refugees from 9 different countries with 72% from Sudan and 22% from Somalia. The last ACT appeal AFKE91 for Kakuma camp ended in December, 1999. This proposal for a new appeal is for the Lutheran World Federation/Department of World Service (LWF/DWS) to continue providing good services to the refugees in the following areas: Food & School Nutrition Non-food distribution - blankets, cooking utensils, sleeping mats, soap and fire wood Water & Sanitation Community & Social Services - women's programmes, psycho-social and youth, culture, etc. Education Camp Administration Summary of Appeal Targets, Pledges/Contributions Received and Balance Requested US$ Total Appeal Target 1,248,200 Balance Requested from ACT Network 1,248,200 Implementation period - throughout 2000. This is in the context of a long term project to which ACT funding is a critical component and will allow (along with UNHCR and BPRM funding) continued provision of basic services to the ever increasing refugee population of Kakuma Camp. Ms. Genevieve Jacques Thor-Arne Prois Rev. Rudolf Hinz Director ACT Coordinator Director WCC/Cluster on Relations LWF/World Service REQUESTING ACT MEMBER Lutheran World Federation (Dept. for World Service) Kenya/Sudan IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER/PARTNER INFORMATION The Lutheran World Federation, Department for World Service (LWF/DWS) has for over fifty years been involved in various humanitarian emergencies and relief operations around the world. Recently LWF/DWS has been running major emergencies and relief operations in Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It has also implemented similar but smaller programs in Somalia, Liberia, Zambia, Botswana, Mozambique and Kenya. Since 1952 LWF/DWS has been working as an implementing partners of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) in different countries around the world. LWF/DWS, at the invitation of UNHCR, has been present in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in north west Kenya, ever since its establishment in mid 1992 following a mass influx of an estimated 30,000 Sudanese refugees fleeing fighting in Southern Sudan. Since August 1992, LWF/DWS has been responsible for camp management and the lead agency responsible for the implementation of the services to the growing camp population. Specifically, these services are food and non-food items distribution, maintenance and operation of the water system, Community and Social Services (including the Psycho-Social Programs focusing on unaccompanied minors); management of an education program at three levels, (pre-school, primary and secondary education); camp sanitation, refugee shelter construction; construction and maintenance of camp infrastructure; ware-housing operation and management of a mechanical workshop management and maintenance of the UNHCR staff compound along with provision of general support services to the camp. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION Background The establishment of Kakuma Refugee Camp followed the influx of some 30,000 Sudanese asylum seekers in 1992 from Southern Sudan fleeing fighting between the government of Sudan and the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA). Since that time the number of Sudanese seeking refugee along with other refugees in the Kakuma camp has increased to the current figure of over 86,500. The stability of Kenya has proved a magnet for asylum seekers from many of the strife-ridden countries of the Horn of Africa and Great Lakes Region. For political reasons the Kenyan Government decided to establish two major centers of refugee settlement, Kakuma and Dadaab Camps. Consequently Kakuma Camp is now the place of residence for refugees from nine different countries. The policy of the Kenyan Government is that of centralized refugee settlement without local integration. The need to cater for the refugee population led to the development of systems and infrastructure to enable initial provision of basis human needs namely health care, water, shelter, sanitation and food. The enduring problems in the region have resulted in long term refugees and hence the need for provision of support in education and community services. Current Situation The situation at the Kakuma Refugee Camp is one of a chronic emergency of complex origins. The escalating war in southern Sudan, coupled with severe famine led to the refugee population increase in Kakuma refugee camp. In 1999, an average of 1,500 refugees per month arrived in the camp - the majority of the new arrivals being children, some of them unaccompanied. Among the new arrivals are large numbers of old women and lactating mothers. Being only 120 kilometers from the Sudanese border, the camp is the primary immediate source of assistance to Sudanese fleeing war and famine in Eastern Equatoria, Sudan. In order to mitigate disaster the camp must be ready to receive large numbers of asylum seekers at short notice. The current famine in the Eastern Equatoria region of Sudan will significantly add to the numbers of new asylum seekers. Turkana District, in which Kakuma Camp is located, is extremely poor and three years of poor rains have created a severe famine which has exacerbated the already existing tension between refugees and their hosts. Impact on Human Lives The complex emergencies from which the refugees in Kakuma have fled, although varied in their country of origin, have commonalties: - Almost all of the refugees in Kakuma have personal experience and loss arising from the conflict from which they fled and many are traumatized by this experience. The majority of refugees have fled from conditions of extreme poverty due to prolonged war and drought and arrive in Kenya in very poor physical condition and with little or no possessions. The long term conflict and poverty that the majority of the refugees have experienced have negatively affected the educational opportunities available for them. The complexity and enduring nature of the regional conflicts is such that many refugees in Kakuma lack hope of being able to return to their homelands. Location of Response Kakuma Refugee Camp is located in Turkana District in the extreme north western of Kenya. Kakuma is one of the divisions in the District and is 95 km South of Lokichogio and about 120km South of the Sudan/Kenya border. The area is classified as arid, it is extremely hot and the vegetation is sparse. Turkana district is the largest in Kenya but with the smallest population. Its geographical position and low population has led to its marginalization, this being manifested in lack of infrastructure and other governmental development and relief activities. In material terms, the people of Turkana are undoubtedly less well off than the refugees of Kakuma camp. This situation leads to friction between the refugees and the indigenous population of the area. Demography By December 1999, there were 86,590 refugees in the camp registered with the UNHCR. Since the beginning of the year the camp population has maintained an upward trend as indicated in the following table (17,327 refugees arrived in Kakuma during the course of 1999).

With the indigenous community of Turkana: - The potential for insecurity is well recognized. However, to date attention to close cooperation with local authorities has ensured that no significant conflict has arisen. Banditry: - A number of incidents of armed robbery have occurred on the main road between Kakuma, Lodwar and Lokichogio. Precautions have been taken to minimize the risk to life and property including use of police escorts, restricted travel etc. In order to enhance camp security LWF coordinates security patrols and surveillance activities, which involve the Kenya Police, LWF security and refugee guards. Continuous night security patrols in the refugee camp with an average of 6-armed personnel was introduced on a daily basis. Conflict mitigation within the camp is a central theme in many of the LWF programs and activities. A peace education program continues to be implemented. A large integrated sports project, good liaison and consultation and collaboration with community leaders continue to be among the tools used to reduce conflict. GOAL & OBJECTIVES Goal - to ensure that refugees into Kakuma Camp have access to the basic requirements for dignified life. LWF will implement the program in Kakuma in such a manner as to maximize refugees involvement in the management of their own affairs and their preparedness for their future lives. Objective To receive an anticipated additional 20,000 refugees in the year 2000 without decline in the basic benefits currently available to refugees:- During the year 2000 LWF will review performance against minimum standards as outlined by the SPHERE project for water, sanitation and food distribution sectors. TARGETED BENEFICIARIES The Kakuma Refugee Camp population consists of refugees from 9 African countries experiencing or having experienced civil strife. The large majority are Sudanese nationals who are currently crossing into Kenya at an average rate of 1,500 persons per month due to the effect of the continuing civil war in Sudan. Some 17,327 arrived in 1999 and close to 20,000 are expected to arrive during 2000. The Sudanese refugees are asylum seekers from southern Sudan and are fleeing the fighting between the Government of Sudan and the Sudanese Peoples Liberation Movement in the continuing civil war. They have been entering Northern Kenya since 1992. As a result of relocation from the closed coastal camps of Somali refugees during 1997 and 1998, the Somali refugees now constitute the second largest nationality after the Sudanese. The other groups of nationalities making up the camp's population include the Ethiopians (Amhara and Oromo tribes), Ugandans, Rwandese, Burundians, Congolese, Liberians and Eritreans. Each LWF/DWS sector has its specific target beneficiaries, which guarantees that at various levels all of the 86,590 refugees in Kakuma camp benefit from LWF services and interventions. As Camp Managers and the lead-implementing agency LWF/DWS is directly responsible for ensuring the provision of food, water and sanitation facilities to the entire refugee population of the camp. Similarly LWF is responsible for an internal security system in the camp which is equally applicable to all inhabitants as well as provision of education and Community services. Notwithstanding the foregoing activities LWF/DWS implement multiplicity of activities with limited target groups and beneficiaries. Examples of targeted activities are: - All levels of education program, which is accessible by all but, which explicitly aims to increase education for girls. A large sports program which is accessible to all, self targeting youth and which explicitly seeks to attract involvement of women/girls and of disabled people. Many unaccompanied male youths are specifically considered under a program with activities designed to productively reintegrate them into their ethnic society. EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE AND IMPLEMENTATION Complimentary Food LWF has the responsibility of implementing general food distribution twice a month i.e. on the 1st day and 16th day of each month. Each food distribution cycle takes a minimum of four days. The Logistics Officer in charge of the activity in collaboration with other staff of the Logistics Department prepared a food distribution plan for the various family sizes (number of persons per family). An average of 1,300 metric tons of food basket (cereals, pulses, oils, salt and Corn Soya Blend (CSB) given by the World Food Program (WFP) is distributed per month. In addition to the food provided by WFP, LWF/DWS is responsible for finding the source and ensuring the supply of vegetables for general distribution once a month to the entire refugee population as supplementary food. An average of 36 metric tons of supplementary food (fresh vegetables) items is distributed every month. During each day of food distribution staff are deployed to the three food distribution centers together with security escort. The refugees at each center collect their food rations from the centers under the supervision of both refugee and non-refugee workers and security guards. Each family head or representative presents a UNHCR Registration Card used to verify the number and names of family members, and hence the quantity of food to be given. Two clerks per center are responsible for making random checks on the weights of the food items distributed to ensure a uniform rate of scooping of food items for all the beneficiaries. Other staff positions at each center included scoopers, loaders, ushers and a translator. In addition to these, there were two food receiving clerks and a dispatch clerk who supervise loading of food items from the WFP stores the LWF fleet of vehicles including trucks and tractors are used to transport food to distribution centers. School Nutrition LWF is also responsible for the implementation of the school nutrition program that targets school going children in the 21 primary schools and 3 secondary schools in the Camp. It is a wet feeding program aimed at providing a high nutrient food item to a large portion of the minors in the camp. The World Food Program releases Corn Soya Blend (CSB) every week to LWF on the basis of school attendance figures as presented by the LWF Education department. An average of 17 metric tons of food is distributed to the 21 primary and 3 secondary schools in the camp per month. The program operates 13 kitchens in the camp serving the 21 primary and 3 secondary schools. Approximately 26,000 children will benefit from this activity.

The combined workforce of 42 is responsible for pump operation, maintenance i.e./repair of facilities, water quality testing and security of the water facilities. The camp water system consists of 7 active boreholes, 3 booster stations, 26 reservoir tanks with a capacity of 434m3 and 30 kms of an extensive piping system which supplies water with all linked through tap stands located within an average distance of 85 meters of each group settlement. There are 510 taps serving the entire camp population and 256 tapstands. Each refugee is provided with an average of 18 liters of water per day. Water quality testing is done on a regular basis before it is distributed to the beneficiaries. Testing for coliforms is done on water samples taken from water in boreholes, storage tanks, the hospital water tanks, clinics and public tapstands for bacteria contaminants and other impurities. Chlorinating the water in storage tanks is done on a daily basis followed by checks for levels of chlorine residuals and acidity. ACT Appeal contribution for Water Sector will enable: Payment of salary and allowances to the manager of the water sector and other sector support national staff and refugee workers. Additional refugee staff will be engaged and trained to maintain water facilities in the camp. This increase is necessitated by extra requirement due to increased numbers of refugees. Data processing equipment for monitoring the water sector will be procured. Sanitation The Sanitation Unit is responsible for the construction and installation of sanitary facilities, human waste control and vector/pest control in the camp. It also produces latrine slabs and erects latrine super structures around the camp. An average of 1,500 latrines will be required during the year to cater for newly arriving and registered refugees. Additional 2,500 latrines will be repaired during the year. The recycling of latrine slabs from full latrines to newly dug pits will be undertaken.

Community Services LWF has put in place an integrated and diversified Community Services package in various programs aimed at caring, empowering and building the capacity of refugees. The Community Development program promotes capacity building and income generating programs benefiting refugees in the camp from 9 different countries. Activities fostered include a poultry program, a tailoring school, tinsmithing, woodcarving and hair dressing among others. The Women's programs project promotes activities that benefit women around the camp. Activities are organised through women's groups providing representation from all the different communities. Women are engaged in various capacity building activities such as production of various garments and embroidered articles, baskets, and mats, etc. The program also oversees training of women on hygiene and production of sanitary pads and under clothing. Women are also trained in the use of solar cookers and mud stoves. The Gender Program creates awareness on gender issues and puts special emphasis to the status of women in social, cultural and economic spheres as these have been the exclusive domain of men. The program also focuses on negative cultural practices that affect women such as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and addresses the problem of violence against women. Since the inception of the program in 1998 a number of women have been able to take up positions of leadership in the camp such as in community bench courts, community administration, food and security committees. The Psychosocial Care for unaccompanied minors program caries out activities aimed at providing assistance and building the capacity of children and young adults affected by conflict and displacement. Focus has been put in the facilitation of their re-integration into their respective community groups. The program plans to put more focus on capacity building activities to create independence among the youth by equipping them with skills necessary to start income generating enterprises or secure employment to enable them to become self reliant. The Case Management program is responsible for arbitration of disagreements and conflicts that occur within the refugee communities. It is also a tool for assessing the basic needs within the community. The program is equally charged with the responsibility of educating communities through community structures on various modern day and internationally accepted legal standards of justice. A counseling service supports the conflict resolution and addresses the needs of refugees suffering form stress, trauma, depression and also psychological problems. The Sports, Youth and Culture program carries out activities targeting the participation of the youth in the camp in various activities aimed at improving their mental and physical well being, and encouraging intercultural understanding. Activities carried out include debating, drama, cultural dancing, sports, arts and crafts production. There is need to enhance the program activities especially in youth leadership, reproductive health and disaster management training. Other activities that act as occupational therapy to the youth by providing them with avenues for emotional release and healing will be enhanced. These include expressive theatre arts, cultural activities and group activities. ACT Appeal contribution for the Community Services Sector will enable: - Provision for leadership, reproductive health, and disaster training workshops and exposure visits costs. Hire of one 4WD utility to ferry program staff to various duty stations within the expansive camp.

Education Program The Education Program in the camp is run jointly between LWF/DWS and the refugee education directorate established at the camp. The Education program follows the Kenya Education System. A majority of refugee teachers are employed in all the schools and are responsible for school administration and the day to day curriculum implementation through classroom teaching and other educational activities. The non-refugee teachers teach Kiswahili, English and technical subjects such as Music, Art and Craft. Other support staff workers include zonal inspector, librarians, a store clerk, a typist, office messengers and 30 watchmen to protect school property. The education sector administers 21 primary schools with a combined enrolment of 18,251pupils (4,952 girls and 13,229 boys). Even though there is a heavy imbalance between the number of male and female pupils, the current enrolment has the highest proportion and number of girls that have ever been enrolled in primary schools since the introduction of formal education in the camp. Due to the imbalance, the sector will continue engaging in concerted efforts to promote girl education aimed at increasing the percentage of girls who attend school as well as reducing their drop out rate. One of the strategies is the introduction of extra classes for girls in the afternoon and weekends. There are 425 teachers in the 21 primary schools. Out of this figure 31 are female while 394 are male. Refugee teachers are 375 and 49 are non-refugees. The students' enrolment in the 3 secondary schools in the camp is 1,816 of whom 39 are female. There are 66 teachers for the 3 secondary schools out of which 6 are female. Refugee teachers are 40 while non-refugee teachers are 26. New arrivals to the Camp create the need for more educational materials and teaching aids to for the primary and secondary schools in the camp. These materials are essential for the mental development of pupils in the camp. Additional resources continue to be a need to enable LWF improve the education sector and for procurement of additional school supplies, reading materials, classrooms to reduce class sizes, and other school related facilities. ACT Appeal contribution for the Education Sector will enable: Provision of minimum levels of classroom supplies, teacher training materials and school facilities for primary and secondary schools to compliment UNHCR funding.
