Terms of Reference Operational Context Afghanistan is experiencing a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented scale, exacerbated by the critical economic crisis, high levels of poverty, natural disasters (earthquakes, drought, and floods). Some 23.7 million people – more than half of Afghanistan's 44 million population require humanitarian assistance, of which 15.8 million people are likely facing acute food insecurity, and at least one million children at risk of severe acute malnutrition. Human rights have deteriorated in Afghanistan, particularly against women and girls, following the December 2022 and April 2023 bans against women and girls. In 2024, it is projected that economic instability and growing humanitarian needs, compounded by secondary displacement, natural disasters, abuses of human rights, sporadic attacks, and armed clashes may continue to displace Afghans. Internal displacement is also likely to persist. On 3 October 2023, the Government of Pakistan announced plans to repatriate 'illegal foreigners'. In view of the ongoing humanitarian and human rights concerns for Afghans, particularly for women and girls, UNHCR and IOM issued a joint statement urging Pakistan to maintain the protection space for Afghans in need of safety. This was followed by a joint statement by UNHCR. IOM and UNICEF which appealed for the protection of children and families seeking safety in Pakistan. On 10 November, UNHCR declared an internal Level 2 emergency for Pakistan and Afghanistan for six months to scale up the humanitarian response in light of the rapidly evolving situation. As of March 2024, over 500,000 Afghans have returned from Pakistan as a result of phase one of the Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan (IFRP) of which 83,000 were Proof of Registration (PoR) cardholders, or UNHCR slipholder/asylum seekers. The majority of those returning cite the use of police force and harassment as one of the drivers to return. Arrivals back to Afghanistan are also adding to the worsening humanitarian crisis, to a country with over 3.2 Million internally displaced persons due to conflict. As the Government of Pakistan prepares for Phase 2 of the IFRP, primarily focused on the estimated 803,000 ACC card holders, it is important to note that there are 1.35M registered Afghan Refugees who might be directly or indirectly impacted as was seen at Phase 1 of the IFRP. According to UNHCR and IOM projections, approximately 908,000 Afghans are expected to require support at the border points between now and December 2024. Of this number, 197,000 are PoR Cardholders and Asylum seekers, 450,000 are ACC cardholders, and the remaining 261,000 are undocumented Afghans. The sudden surge in returns is expected to put pressure on already strained resources, including shelter and basic services. Additional support is urgently required. UNHCR and partners in Pakistan and Afghanistan are currently working together to ensure a harmonized and coordinated cross-border response to this new emergency. To support these efforts an update to the interagency Border Consortium Appeal from 8 November 2023, is in the works, and will be launched in Mid-April 2024. In addition, UNHCR and partners are also stepping up their presence in and around Torkham and Chaman border crossing points and accelerating efforts to ensure protection-sensitive mechanisms are in place via regular border monitoring visits and protection screenings to identify and assist people with heightened vulnerabilities and needs.
