Abstract: Refugee crisis has deep roots and imposes moral-legal concerns as a result` of` numerous injustices that even voluntary return cannot fix. Although there are still gaps in our understanding of integration process as to whether it leads to harmonious coexistence between host communities and refugees, the refugee integration mechanism is considered as a possible breakthrough in the refugee crisis. This study aims at employing the refugee` integration mechanism as an approach to peaceful co-existence among refugees in Osire Refugee Camp and the host farm communities around Otjiwarongo District, Namibia. The study was guided by two objectives: To assess effectiveness of refugee integration mechanism to peaceful coexistence and to examine refugee integration mechanism` to peaceful coexistence in Osire Refugee Camp Otjiwarongo District, Namibia.

The data was also analyzed` using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version (26.0) for quantitative data and thematic content analysis for qualitative data.

Abstract: Most refugees have frequently been subjected to a variety of potentially traumatic events, which have a wide range of negative consequences for their mental health and quality of life. However, some have also reported positive personal changes, and post-traumatic growth related to these potentially distressing events. This study was restricted only to Nairobi County, which accommodates most of the urban refugees in Kenya (UNHCR, 2020). The study used a simple random sampling technique for the quantitative strand and purposive/convenient sampling technique for the qualitative strand to select respondents. A sample of 133 respondents, which was determined using Yamane’s formula, was selected. Quantitative data were collected using standardized questionnaires; the 21-item posttraumatic growth inventory (PTGI) and 20-item Posttraumatic stress disorder checklist (PCL-5). This study adopted the embedded mixed method research design by combining correlational and phenomenological research design. The study revealed a weak negative relationship between Posttraumatic stress disorder and posttraumatic growth (p˂ 0.01, r = -.319).This implies, as individual who had gone through traumatizing experience progress in posttraumatic growth, the level of post-traumatic stress disorder decreases with time. This indicates that continuous psychological and psychosocial assistance are considered as coping skills that facilitate posttraumatic growth.
