Operational Highlights

Operational context and population trends

Though people of concern to UNHCR enjoy unfettered access to Botswana, those awaiting refugee status determination (RSD) are detained. Once status has been conferred, refugees are encamped, with limited freedom of movement and few self-reliance opportunities owing to legislative restrictions on employment.
 

Key priorities in 2016

  • Prioritizing activities related to durable solutions, in particular voluntary repatriation and resettlement
  • Providing basic needs and essential services, including access to potable water, sanitation, health and education services, as well as community empowerment and self-reliance opportunities
  • Transitioning from food distribution to cash based interventions
  • Advocating for a favourable protection environment related to personal security and freedom from exploitation.
