Returnee Aid and Development

This paper is based on a study written by Professor Barry Stein of Michigan State University, which was prepared in the context of the Central Evaluation Section's ongoing analysis of repatriation, reintegration and rehabilitation issues. This initiative has included reviews of Quick Impact Projects in Nicaragua, the CIREFCA process, the Cambodian repatriation operation, the encashment programme for Afghan refugees in Pakistan and the cross-mandate programme in Ethiopia. Barry Stein participated in the 1983 UNHCR Meeting of Experts on Refugee Aid and Development, and since 1986 has co-directed the International Study of Spontaneous Voluntary Repatriation.
