Situation
Eritrean refugee children fetch water from a tap at Mai-Aini refugee camp near the Eritrean boarder in the Tigrai region in Ethiopia [File:Tiksa Negeri/Reuters] The Ethiopian Roads Authority in November 2017 completed installation of 11 speed-breakers across the main road in Mai Aini camp to improve pedestrian safety and reduce the risk of road traffic accidents. By end of 2017, 144 new latrines were constructed and 900 latrine dislodged in Mai Aini camp. In 2017, 72 permanent shelters were built. The Vita Event registration (VERA) was successfully launched and refugees are having access to birth certificates particularly children born out of the camp. UNHCR upscaled its cooperation with the local judiciary to enhance refugees’ access to justice and documentation and freedom of movement.
