Pending the attainment of durable solutions, UNHCR’s main objectives remained to protect and assist the camp population in eastern Nepal; facilitate a resolution of their situation by encouraging the bilateral process of negotiation between the
Bhutanese and Nepalese Governments; assist Tibetan arrivals in transit; conduct status determination of individual asylum seekers and find durable solutions for recognised refugees through resettlement in a third country; and continue to pursue with the Nepalese Government the issue of detention of asylum seekers and refugees.
Impact:
• Protection and assistance were provided to 102,263 people in seven camps located in the Jhapa and Morang Districts of eastern Nepal.
• UNHCR assisted 1,268 newly arrived Tibetans and facilitated their safe transit to a third country.
• Refugees recognised under the UNHCR mandate were protected and provided with necessary assistance.
• Actions were taken to address Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in the camps.
Remedial and preventive measures were put in place. An improved referral system for SGBV was established.
