Abstract:
This paper explores refugees’ sense of agency on integration through digital literacy and the use
of digital technologies in Kakuma refugee camp. The qualitative method involved content analysis
analyses of semi-structured interviews conducted with 8 purposively sampled participants who
reside in the camp. The analyses focused on the resources provided by mobile phone, computer
and reading tablet and the life goals enabled by the technologies that enhanced refugees’ sense ofagency in integration. The findings show that most participants use mobile phone more often than
computer and reading tablet. From the analyses, three life goals emerged; social relationship,
effective task performance and recreation. The study concludes that digital literacy and the enabled
life goals provide opportunities for refugees to experience a sense of agency, belonging and
wellbeing
