The Priority Areas of Return and Reintegration are a key component of UNHCR’s work to strength essential facilities and services in communities where internally displaced persons (IDPs) and Afghan refugee returnee are living.
UNHCR has developed PARRs programmes under the umbrella of the regional Solutions Strategy for Afghan Refugees (SSAR), the framework for protection and solutions for Afghan refugees to support voluntary repatriation, sustainable reintegration, and assistance to host countries. They are fully aligned with and embedded in the 2023- 2025 United Nations Strategic Framework for Afghanistan and promote collaboration and synergy among humanitarian and basic human needs actors, bridging the gap and ensuring a more effective and sustainable solution to displacement challenges.
Through their inclusive, “whole-of-community” focused design, the PARRs are also an example of the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) in action. By applying an area-based, “whole-of-community” approach and supporting the entire population in an area, including host communities, their ability to welcome forcibly displaced people and returnees is strengthened
