Ethiopia: UNHCR identifies gaps on profile of Somali refugees in Ethiopia

A thematic annotated workshop was organized by the UNCHR in Addis to discuss the comprehensive plan for Somali refugees' gap analysis in Ethiopia.
One of the gaps identified was the absence of reliable data on the composition and profile of the Somali refugees in Ethiopia. There were also no specific mechanisms in place for the identification of refugees with special protection needs, including victims of sexual and gender-based violence, partly due to the absence of a reporting system and multi-sectoral referral mechanism.
