IntermsofPakistan’simplementationoftheSolutionsStrategy,keyresultsin2012and2013includethefollowing:

• In2012,approximately86,000AfghanrefugeesvoluntarilyrepatriatedfromPakistantoAfghanistan,makingthisUNHCR’slargestvoluntaryrepatriationprogrammethatyear.Thefollowingyear,thenumbersdroppedto31,000returns,mainlyduetothesecuritysituationinAfghanistanandtheuncertaintiesaroundtheelectionsandanticipatedwithdrawalofinternationalforcesin2014.

3.StrategyProgramme rationale and principles VoluntaryrepatriationremainsthemostpreferredsolutionforAfghanrefugees.WithintheoverallframeworkoftheSolutionsStrategy,however,projectsarealsofocusedonaddressingcurrentgapsinthehostcountry.Proposedmeasuresaimtoaddressthebasicneedsandprotectionofrefugeesinthecountry,whileconcurrentlyseekingdurablesolutions.Keyinthisregardistheprinciplethatensuringaccesstoeducation,healthcareanddiversifiedlivelihoodopportunities,aswellasensuringthequalityofsuchservices,willeffectivelyempowerrefugeesandcontributetotheirsustainablereintegrationuponreturntoAfghanistan.Thisprinciplealsoguidesthedesignandimplementationofprogrammesinthecountryinsupportofthefollowingfiveoutcomes:

Asnotedpreviously,thepaceofreturnwilllikelydependlargelyonpoliticalandsecuritydevelopmentsinAfghanistan.Whilea2014increaseintheamountofcashgrant,fromUSD150toUSD200foreachrepatriatingrefugee,willassistreturneesinmeetingtheincreasedcostsrelatedtoreturn,thisisunlikelytobringaboutahighernumberofreturns.RatherthepullfactorsandabsorptioncapacityinAfghanistanwillhavetobestrengthened,includingvisibleinvestmentbyvariousactorsinareasofreturnaswellasthecreationofemploymentopportunities,provisionoftailoredassistancetoreturnees,etc.TheefficiencyoftheLandAllocationSchemeforlandlessAfghanswillalsohaveasignificantimpactonthepaceofreturn,astheongoinglackoflandandhousingconstitutesoneofthemajorobstaclesforrepatriation.

AprojectcarriedoutbytheNorwegianRefugeeCouncil(NRC)willcontributetothesustainabilityofreturnsbypromotingcross-borderactivitiesintheareasofsocialprotectionandeducation.Thesocialprotectioncomponentwillofferfreelegalassistanceinhousing,landandproperty,andcivildocumentationcases;provideinformationandcounsellingonreturnconditionsandavailabilityofservicesinreturnareas;andbuildthecapacityoflegalpractitioners.TheeducationcomponentwillseektoensurecontinuededucationandvocationaltrainingofAfghanstudentsuponreturntoAfghanistan,enhancecommunitysupporttoeducationandbuildthecapacityofteachers.
