Operational Overview
Djibouti is considered an oasis of peace in a region in perpetual conflict. As of 31 December 2023, Djibouti is providing international protection to 31, 509 refugees and asylum seekers, which is more than 3 percent of the total population. Despite a lower-middle-income status, yet prone to recurrent droughts, Djibouti has traditionally maintained a generous open-door policy for refugee inflows.
Somali nationals (43 percent) constitute the largest refugee group in Djibouti, followed by Ethiopians (41 percent) and Yemenis (11 percent).
In Djibouti, 85 percent of refugees and asylum seekers live in rural areas while 15 percent in urban areas. Around 56 percent of them live in Ali Addeh village, 23 percent in Holl Holl village, 15 percent in Djibouti City, and 5 percent in Markazi camp. Refugees and asylum seekers live peacefully and in harmony with their host and contribute to local economies.
The Republic of Djibouti has been welcoming refugees for more than four decades. The country has been providing refugee protection through legislative reforms and has embraced the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF). This UNHCR initiative aims to safeguard the well-being of refugees and their host communities, a precursor to the Global Compact on Refugees. Djibouti has been praised as a leading country in the implementation of the CRRF and has achieved a lot, particularly in including refugees and asylum seekers in national systems such as education, health, and employment.
