Dadaab Refugee Camps

Dadaab Refugee Camps

 How a refugee camp is organized and what are the structures?

 

 

Dadaab Refugee Camps

The Dadaab refugee Camp is seperated in three sub-camps named Dagahaley, Ifo and Hagadera.
These camps were planed in the 1990's as a temporary solution for somali refugees. But now the situation is much more complexer because the camps are extremly growing.
Because of this uncontrolled growing the campstructures show different types of settlement.

The refugee camps are organized by different organisations like UNHCR or UKaid... which try to keep these camps alive by using donates from all over the world.

Refugee Camp in Kenya - Organisation

This week we kept ourselves busy with finding out how the camps are organised from two different points of view.
On the one hand we took a look at how the somali refugees moved from Mogadishu to Dadaab Refugee Camps and on the other hand how the camps are organised by the helping organisations like UNHCR or UNICEF.
To compare the three camps we filtered out the specific points such like food distribution. For this we made a map to show how the refugees are reaching that important point.
We also took a look at the structure of the three camps Hagadera, Ifo and Dagahaley, how were they built up by the system of the organisations and which parts of the camp are self-settlement.
