Nepal - UNHCR Mid Year Progress Report 2002.
|
The initial objectives of the UNHCR programme in Nepal remain unchanged. However, the global funding shortfall is affecting the programme in Nepal as well and UNHCR is in the process of reviewing the entire 2002 budget to prioritise activities. This will affect UNHCR's ability to cover refugees’ needs such as clothing, blankets and other domestic items and to replace several dilapidated project vehicles.
The main priority of UNHCR is to obtain renewed permission from the Nepalese authorities to undertake border monitoring missions to the Northern Border, despite the officially stated security concerns. UNHCR continues to appeal for the early release of a group of Tibetans having been arrested while attempting to cross Nepal from India, and follow up with the Government's efforts in issuing identity cards and travel documents.
The process of status determination will remain unchanged. The Office will closely
monitor the number of new arrivals, their travel route and nationality in order to assess the increase of individual cases using Nepal as a transit country towards third countries. The Office will continue to seek actively durable solutions for this group, in particular, resettlement to third countries.
