The 2003 WFP/UNHCR Joint Assessment Mission (JAM) took place in Nepal from August 25th to September 9th 2003. In accordance with the Terms of Reference, the Mission carried
out a regular management review and needs assessment. This work was conducted in close
consultation with HMG/N on both central and local levels, WFP Nepal Country and Sub
Offices, UNHCR Branch and Field Offices, NGO partners, refugees and their representatives. The major findings are presented below and the Mission has for all components of the operation made recommendations, which it hopes will further fine-tune the refugee programme in Nepal.
Overall, the Mission concluded that the protracted refugee operation is generally well managed with the refugees achieving a high degree of self-reliance as well as gender balance. The relationship between the refugees and the surrounding local communities is still considered to be relatively good and only minor incidents have been reported. However, efforts to strengthen the relationship should be considered if the good relationship is to be maintained. The Mission also observed some discrepancies between the various refugee records held by different agencies/partners involved the refugee operation and urges that a general headcount exercise be conducted before the end of the year.
