Description 

March 2020 - The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) provides international protection and assistance to the world’s refugees, stateless persons, asylum seekers, and in some instances, internally displaced persons. The UNHCR searches for lasting solutions to their situations. The UNHCR also leads on the implementation of the 2018 Global Compact on Refugees, convening stakeholders and facilitating more comprehensive responses to refugee situations. With the support of GAC and other donors, the UNHCR provides assistance and protection to refugees, internally displaced persons and other persons of concern in 24 countries. Project activities include: (1) providing shelter, clothing and other essential non-food items; (2) providing adequate water, sanitation, and health services, including in reproductive health; (3) providing opportunities for education and livelihoods support; (4) providing protection, including against sexual and gender-based violence, and for children; (5) working with governments to register asylum seekers and refugees, and helping issue identity documents; (6) working with governments to support refugee self-reliance, and forge peaceful relations between refugees and host communities; and (7) expanding opportunities for durable solutions for people of concern.

Expected results 

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased access to territorial protection and asylum procedures and protection for refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons; (2) increased issuance of birth certificates to newborns and increased levels of individual registration in refugee situations; (3) increased access to support for survivors of violence, particularly sexual and gender-based violence; (4) lower mortality, morbidity and malnutrition rates; and (5) increased access to safe water, hygiene and livelihood necessities for vulnerable persons. The expected ultimate outcome is the reduced vulnerability of crisis-affected people, especially women and children.
