"Environmental Protection in and around Refugee Camps"
The project intends to put in place mechanisms and measures to protect the environment in and around the refugee camps in the Country. It aims to contribute to the overall national goal of protecting the environment and the conservation and management of natural resources. The project aims to protect the lands in and around the refugee camps from soil erosion and degradation. It also seeks to reduce pressure on the environment, specifically on the forests, in and around the camps by promoting the use of and making available improved cooking stoves which require low-firewood consumption for the 69,555 refugees. It is expected to decrease the volume and demand for use of firewood among households in the refugee camps. The project will also endeavor to achieve and sustain these outcomes by promoting awareness and education amongst refugees and host local population on environmental issues affecting them.
