Description 

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. UNHCR searches for lasting solutions to their situations. With the support of GAC and other donors, this project provides assistance and protection to refugees, internally displaced persons and other persons of concern in three regions and thirteen specific countries across the world over two years. 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, child protection and working with governments to register asylum seekers and refugees, and help issue identity documents; (5) working with governments to support refugee self-reliance and forge peaceful relations between refugees and local citizens; and (6) expanding opportunities for durable solutions for people of concern.

Expected results 

The expected outcome for this project is improved access to assistance and protection services for refugees, internally-displaced persons and those who are stateless in order to meet their basic human needs and support their livelihoods. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
