Refugees International published in June 2021 a report titled "From Displacement to Development: How Ethiopia Can Create Shared Growth by Facilitating Economic Inclusion for Refugees" by Jimmy Graham and Sarah Miller.
Ethiopia is home to about 800,000 refugees, mostly from South Sudan, Somalia, and Eritrea. The conflict in Tigray Region has complicated the refugee situation. The report argues that the Ethiopian government must seek long-term solutions to hosting refugees, moving away from its long-standing system that restricts most refugees to camps with limited economic activity and toward a system that allows for greater refugee economic inclusion.
