Background:
Following the recent political unrest as well as food insecurity in South Sudan and to some extent, the favourable conditions to cross the border (e.g. dry weather condition), more refugees are crossing to Ethiopian side in search of safe haven. This led to government and UNHCR to consider the establishment of a new camp on October 2016 to accommodate the new influx of refugees in Nguenyyiel Refugee camp. As per UNHCR update provided in early March 2018, more than 90,000 refugees are living in the new camp (Nguenyyiel) in Gambella. Due to the current political and food security situation in South Sudan,new refugee influx is crossing the border, UNHCR is expecting more to cross the border which demands basic services to be made ready to meet the required humanitarian need.
Following the influx from South Sudan and a decision to open the new camp that currently accommodating 90,000 refugees, Oxfam has been tasked by UNHCR & government to provide both Emergency and Sustainable WASH since Jan 2017. Oxfam is committed to providing timely humanitarian assistance to these refugees in the new camp and reception centre and to increasing programme impact by strengthening the effectiveness and accountability of our humanitarian work.
To maintain peaceful coexistence and provide integrated support to refugee host community, Oxfam plan to expand its work to address integrated solid waste management needs of multiple refugee camps (Nguenyyiel, kule, and Terkidi) and host communities in Itang woreda.
