Text of Recommendation | To assist the new Afghan administration in addressing the needs of Afghan refugees and returnees, and ensure effective implementation of the Solutions Strategy, we recommend that the Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration: Monitor the Afghan administration’s efforts to increase capacity and reduce corruption within the MORR. If State determines that the MORR has made the necessary progress and that future U.S. assistance to the ministry is warranted, we recommend that such assistance include working with:
a) The MORR, in coordination with UNHCR and other implementing partners, to conduct an assessment that identifies the needs and challenges of returnees and develop a timeframe to address those needs and challenges, as called for in the Solutions Strategy;
b) The Afghan administration to ensure that other ministries incorporate the returnee needs the MORR identifies into Afghanistan’s national development priorities; and
c) The Afghan administration to hold the MORR, and other relevant ministries, accountable for implementing the Land Allocation Scheme, as required by Afghan law and presidential decree. |
