The internal migration of refugees from camps to Nairobi

In this third publication of the RLRH Working Paper Series, Asrat Koricha Tolossa explores the interactions between refugees’ aspirations, abilities, and institutional constraints as they decide to move from Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps to Nairobi, Kenya, and their experience navigating life in the city. He concludes with a set of recommendations to the refugee support ecosystem to help refugees navigate the significant legal, financial, and bureaucratic barriers that complicate their integration and their search for sustainable livelihoods in Nairobi.
