Forecast
DRC forecasts are based on a machine learning tool that has been developed to predict forced displacement (IDPs, refugees and asylum seekers) at the national level 1-3 years into the future.
Why we are there
As a humanitarian and development partner, DRC’s presence remains relevant given the increasing needs on the ground.
Djibouti’s situation of crisis-affected populations comprising refugees, migrants and vulnerable host communities falls within the ambit of DRC’s mandate, mission and vision.
This is coupled with the fact the DRC’s core sectors, especially economic recovery, protection, shelter & settlement programmes, continue to be relevant in the current Djiboutian context.
With few INGOs currently on the ground, DRC's work to complement initiatives from government and other stakeholders cannot be overemphasized.
What we do
DRC Djibouti’s programme responses are in line with its core sectors. Due to limited funding opportunities in the country, DRC focuses on individual protection assistance, economic recovery and shelter and settlement programming.
Programme interventions have been developed to address and respond to the needs of targeted beneficiaries, including refugees, migrants and vulnerable host communities.
