Amin Bolis, Gordon Ogutu and Nadine Segadlo are organizing an online exchange entitled „Learning to Live with It: Aid Cuts, New Humanitarianism, and Everyday Survival in Kakuma in a Post-Humanitarian Aid Era“ on 15 April 2026.

This session discuss the current state of humanitarian refugee protection in Kakuma camp in Kenya in the wake of massive aid cuts and dwindling global solidarity. It seeks to bring together different perspectives

• to reflect on the far-reaching impacts of reduced international funding and shifting donor priorities,
• to discuss the introduction of differentiated assistance and the scaling back of other humanitarian services, including healthcare, education and livelihood programmes, over the past year,
• to examine the responses of the Kenyan government in this situation, including the current state of implementation of Shirika Plan,
• to provide a platform for engagement among scholars, practitioners, leaders of refugee-led organisations, and camp residents to assess ongoing developments, share experiences, and highlight community-based responses and support structures that illustrate how refugees are navigating these emerging challenges.
