Highlights:
1. In 2007, only 167,500 registered refugees returned to Afghanistan from neighbouring countries despite an increase in the return and reintegration cash grant for Afghan refugees to USD 100 per person. That was a similar level to the number of registered returns in 2006, signalling that mass voluntary return has likely come to an end. In addition, some 206,000 unregistered Afghans in Pakistan returned, bringing the total return figure to 373,500.
2. The Government of Pakistan and UNHCR registered more than 2.1 million Afghan citizens living in Pakistan, and issued them Proof of Registration (POR) cards valid until the end of 2009.
3. With the support of a core group of committed countries, UNHCR and the Government of Nepal moved closer to solutions for more than 100,000 long-staying refugees in seven camps in the eastern part of the country.
