HPG Working Paper
Undertaken in partnership with the IRC Country Office in Kenya, this study aims to:
- deepen understanding of the history and drivers of displacement in Nairobi;
- review policies and legal frameworks for IDPs, including in relation to housing and land;
- discuss the specific protection threats affecting IDPs in Nairobi and how they compare with those facing other groups of urban poor;
- assess the specific vulnerabilities of IDPs, particularly in relation to access to basic services, urban infrastructure and livelihood opportunities, and how they compare with other urban poor; and
- identify how the international aid community can best engage with IDP populations living in Nairobi, and the implications for humanitarian and development programming in this regard.
