2016 Plan Summary
The overall security situation in Liberia remains generally stable, though fragile. There remain concerns about the absence of effective mechanisms to guarantee accountability and to ensure human rights protection, and the high incidence of sexual and gender-based violence.
UNHCR’s operation in Liberia has two main strategies: protection and assistance for refugees and asylum-seekers, and the search for durable solutions. In 2016, the Office will continue to work in partnership with the Government and development actors in order to mainstream, wherever possible, refugee-related services into public structures and systems.
In 2016, the repatriation operation of Ivorian refugees is expected to resume, subject to peaceful elections in the country of origin. The closure and consolidation of camps will be pursued as part of UNHCR’s exit strategy, following the return of Ivorian refugees to Côte d’Ivoire. Given that some refugees may choose not to return owing to individual protection concerns, UNHCR will engage with the Government of Liberia to explore possibilities of establishing practical modalities for their integration in Liberian society. The strategic use of resettlement as a protection tool will be considered for targeted cases.
