Disparities and Determinants of Somali Refugee Food Security in Nairobi, Kenya

This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the factors influencing food security among Somali refugees in Nairobi and underscores the importance of adopting a holistic and context-specific approach to addressing food insecurity in urban refugee settings. By identifying key determinants and disparities in food security outcomes, policymakers and practitioners are in a better position to develop targeted interventions aimed at improving the food security and well-being of vulnerable urban refugee populations. This demands a multipronged policy approach that recognizes the diversity within the refugee population and the multifaceted nature of food insecurity. There is a strong case for evidence-based interventions in Nairobi and elsewhere that facilitate integration, support economic empowerment, and offer tailored support to the most vulnerable segments of the refugee population.
