2016 Plan Summary


UNHCR’s strategy in Côte d’Ivoire revolves around three main axes: continued provision of protection and assistance for refugees and asylum-seekers; reception of Ivorians returning from countries of asylum and their reintegration (infrastructure, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), social cohesion) in the main areas of return, together with the Government and development actors; and the pursuance of efforts to reduce statelessness in the country.
 
The repatriation operation, under which some 240,000 Ivorians returned from asylum countries between October 2011 and July 2014, was suspended in August 2014 as a result of the Ebola outbreak in the region. It is expected that some 21,000 individuals will return in 2016 (20,000 from Liberia and 1,000 from other asylum countries). UNHCR will work with the Government and other partners on rehabilitating basic social infrastructure, as well as implementing activities related to self-reliance, SGBV and peaceful co-existence.
 
In 2016, UNHCR will support the Government and partners in addressing statelessness so that as many individuals as possible are able to obtain nationality and identity documents. UNHCR will build the capacity of the Service d'Aide et Assistance aux Réfugiés et Apatrides in order to respond to the needs of some 675,000 stateless individuals.
