    "content": "The Government is working with stakeholders such as the World Bank to expand those facilities and enhance services to refugees and host communities. Under the World Bank’s window for host communities and refugees, the following programmes are being implemented in the refugee camps: 1. Kenya Primary Education Equity in Learning Phase II with US$60 million from 2022 to 2026. This aims to reduce regional disparities in learning outcomes, improve the retention of girls in upper primary education and strengthen systems for delivering equitable education outcomes. 2. Kenya Secondary Education Equity and Quality Improvement Programme at US$50 million aimed at reducing regional disparities in access and learning outcomes in junior secondary schools by expanding access to quality education, improving teaching quality and strengthening systems for equal access to education. 3. Kenya Urban Support Programme Phase II at US$50 million from 2023 to 2028. This one aims to improve the delivery and resilience of urban infrastructure and services, enhance the private sector engagement in urban planning and support the transition of refugee camps into integrated host community and refugee settlements. 4. National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) at US$20 million between 2023 and 2028. It aims to increase employment, earnings and promote savings for targeted youth. 5. Building resilient and responsive health systems at US$40 million between 2024 and 2029. This one aims to improve the utilisation and quality of primary health care services and strengthen institutional capacity for service delivery. 6. Kenya Water Sanitation and Hygiene Programme (KWASH) US$50 million from 2024 to 2030. It aims to have better access to quality affordable water and improved sanitation of toilets and disposal of waste. Funding for implementation of the Shirika Plan is expected to be from different sources including the international community. The Shirika Plan seeks to leverage partnerships, including bilateral and multilateral and private-public partnerships to fund ambitions under the Shirika Plan for refugees and host communities. A robust financing strategy is under development to ensure predictable and sustainable funding. The third question by the Hon. Member is steps being taken to strengthen security, promote peaceful coexistence and empower host communities through the implementation of the Plan. Peace and security are at the core of any meaningful development. Cognisant of this, the Government has deployed additional security officers to address security matters in refugee hosting areas due to high population. Through peace and security committees, the Government is leveraging on community structures like Nyumba Kumi and faith-based organisations to promote peaceful coexistence. The Shirika Plan primarily seeks to ensure equitable sharing of resources to address potential conflicts that may arise between refugees and host communities or indeed, different groups internally within both refugee and host communities.
