It was agreed that the seven major camps shall be Eldoret and Kitale ASK show grounds, Timboroa, Burnt Forest, Turbo, Noigam and Endebess. This is to be implemented in stages. Kenya Red Cross has noted that a plan to counter the rainy season in all camps in terms of tarpaulins and drainage systems is required. The short rains season has been pouring in areas that are accommodating Internally Displaced People (IDPs) countrywide and are causing certain challenges. With a peace deal signed between the two main political parties in Kenya taking root, it is expected that many IDPs will return back to their homes. Kenya Red Cross, together with its partners, is in the process of looking into the new political development in Kenya to plan appropriately. Situation The international community welcomed a power-sharing agreement signed between Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki and Hon. Raila Kibaki, the two protagonists, on 29 th February 2008. This concludes 41 days of intense political mediation efforts spearheaded by eminent personalities led by former United

Nations Secretary General Koffi Annan, and the beginning of a new chapter of peace among Kenyans. The deal is expected to be enshrined in law once Parliament is reconvened in early March 2008. Mr. Annan is expected to depart Kenya on 2 nd March 2008 and return only when he is required. Mr. Annan was assisted in the mediation effort by former Tanzanian President Hon. Benjamin Mkapa and Nelson Mandela s wife Madame Graca Machel. With the signing of the deal, it is hoped that IDP camps will close and IDPs will return back to their homes within the next few weeks or months. The security situation in Nyanza/Western Region is generally calm. More IDPs are still coming to Kisumu, Migori, Kisii, Nyando and Kericho. At the same time, more IDP camps are being closed down because a number of IDPs are relocating further to their rural homes.
