• Intl. Reporting
• Data Mgmt.
• Comms
• Project Detail

Project Background

Pakistan’s been hosting Afghan refugees for 40+ yrs. Right now, about 3M+ forced displaced Afghans live here—1.3M registered (PoR holders), 129K+ unregistered family members, 840K ACC holders, 500K undocumented, plus ~1M who came after the Taliban takeover in 2021. Out of them, ~256K have approached UNHCR.

Most live in KP (53%) & Balochistan (23%), the poorest provinces w/ weak public services. Around 68% no longer stay in refugee villages but in urban/semi-urban areas, relying on local services. The population is 53% male, 47% female, w/ 51% being kids.

The long-term presence of Afghans has created tensions. Limited voluntary returns + Pakistan’s resource constraints make the situation tough. The pressure on public services is rising, & host communities + refugees are competing for the same resources. Security risks are also a concern, esp. in KP & Balochistan.

To address this, GIZ launched a 2-yr project: "Building Bridges: Fostering Social Cohesion" (BBSC), funded by the Netherlands, implemented w/ SABAWON. The goal: help Pakistan strengthen social cohesion between locals & Afghan refugees.
