UNHCR Field Posts
UNHCR will continue to attend to all Field Posts in Kakuma and Kalobeyei. However, Monday and Tuesday are for enrolment only, Wednesday and Thursday are for counselling. Due to unavoidable circumstances, we will not have counselling on Fridays for the month of February and March. Counselling bookings can be made through KASI. Please approach your nearest Field Post to make an appointment for counselling through KASI.
All Field Post activities, including counseling, will be done in strict adherence to Covid-19 protocols. On the day of your appointment, please come to the Field Post with the minimum number of people from your household. This is to avoid overcrowding and maintain social distancing. Please wear a face mask at all times.
Please note that due to the changing situation of Covid-19 in Kakuma and Kalobeyei, field post counseling may have to be suspended again. This will be communicated as needed.
Updates on Resettlement activities and submissions can be accessed through KASI, which does not require booking for counseling. Applicants who have been interviewed for resettlement can access updates on the status of their case three months after interview. Additionally, Applicants who have attended RSC and other Resettlement country interviews can access updates on their cases by personally contacting the resettlement countries through email addresses provided to applicants during resettlement country interviews.
On 16 November 2020, RAS with the support of UNHCR resumed registration activities at Field Post 2 and Kalobeyei Field Post.
Starting from 22 March 2021, KASI offers self-supported booking only for Movement Passes at Field Posts 1, 2, 4 and Kalobeyei from Monday to Friday from 09:00 am to 03:00 pm.
