2016 Plan Summary
The Congo hosts 52,000 refugees, including 24,600 from the Central African Republic (CAR) and 15,000 from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).The emergency response for CAR refugees is likely to continue in 2016 given the ongoing volatile situation. In addition to the multisectoral assistance provided, including health, shelter, clean water, sanitation, education, nutrition and non-food items, it is expected that a durable solutions strategy may be initiated in 2016.
UNHCR will continue to build the capacity of Congolese authorities, with the aim of ensuring that standard operational procedures are carried out during refugee status determination.
For the Rwandan and Angolan former refugees in the Congo, advocacy will be conducted in order for them to benefit from educational and social support. The Office will also work with the Government on an alternative status for these people of concern to ensure their legal integration and, ultimately, the issuance of residence permits.
The repatriation of 10,000 refugees from the DRC is planned in 2016. For those who opted for local integration, self-reliance activities will be a priority.
In 2016, 100 people of concern will receive production kits or support with agriculture, livestock and fishing activities.
