ONGOING
Ongoing
In Afghanistan, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation, with the support of UNHCR, is currently developing the “Return and Reintegration Response Plan – 2018”. In addition, the “Technical Procedure for the Provision of Land to Returnees and IDPs” which aims to replace the Presidential Decree No.104 “On Land Distribution for Housing to Eligible Returnees and IDPs”, was endorsed in principle by the Cabinet beginning of 2018, but the document is still with the Independent Land Authority (Arazi), waiting for its final adoption. Finally, the Government of Afghanistan is also foreseeing to revise the “National Disaster Management Strategy“ (2015).
