The Intergovernmental Steering Committee on Kenya’s Marshal Plan for Refugees, is expected to draft viable proposals on support for the displaced persons with a view to reducing over-reliance on humanitarian aid.

Immigration Principal Secretary Julius Bitok said, the framework will take a development-oriented approach in harnessing the refugees’ inherent social-economic potential, to empower them and promote their self-reliance.

The PS said, it also aims at enhancing access to basic rights such as effective registration, documentation, education, healthcare, water, energy and jobs.
