Dadaab, in Kenya, is the largest refugee camp in the world with almost 4,50,000 people. In the camp, ECHO is funding a project of the International Rescue Committee on healthier, safer and productive environment for refugees. It is also implementing a strategy aimed at building the capacity of the camp residents to manage services themselves. ECHO also works together with development partners in supporting educational programmes that help young people leave the camp and start a new life. In the entire Horn of Africa there are 1.2 million refugees, mainly coming from Somalia, Sudan and Eritrea as a result of two decades of instability. In 2012 the Commission allocated €30 million to meet the basic needs of the refugees. This includes providing shelter, food, water, health and protection services as well as education and livelihoods support. Through its humanitarian assistance the European Commission reaches approximately 700 000 refugees in need.
