One of the primary causes of refugee crises in Africa is conflict, Andhira Yousif Kara, a Sudanese refugee advocate and researcher with Kenya's Ashden charity organization, says. According to her, "the biggest challenge" regarding the refugee issue is the integration concept.
The Sudanese refugee advocate praised African countries' efforts to find solutions aimed at integrating refugees into their new host communities.
"Now Uganda has an open policy to be able to ensure that there's integration when it comes to refugee policy with Kenya right now, adapting the Shirika Plan and also a new act of refugee management, moving away from encampments to settlements that refugees are going to be integrated within and contribute to the economy of the host countries," she says.
