Terms of Reference1. General Background (Brief description of the national, sector-specific or other relevant context in which the individual contractor will operate)The main framework for the UNHCR facilitated Voluntary Repatriation in Pakistan is the regional Solutions Strategy for Afghan Refugees (SSAR) and the Tripartite Commission agreements between the Government of Afghanistan, the Government of Pakistan and UNHCR. As per these frameworks, Voluntary Repatriation continues to be a key priority that is closely linked with sustainable reintegration support in Afghanistan. Hence, UNHCR will continue to support Voluntary Repatriation in safety and dignity as the preferred solution for the Afghan refugees. Since 1 November 2023, with the implementation of Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan (IFRP) by the Government of Pakistan and owing to a variety of other factors, UNHCR Sub Office Quetta has witnessed a massive surge in the number of families approaching the UNHCR Voluntary Repatriation Centre (VRC) in Baleli for repatriation to Afghanistan. Keeping in view the implementation of second phase of IFRP during 2024, the current staffing is insufficient to deal with the new operational realities. Therefore, UNHCR SO Quetta has developed a plan of action based on 2024 contingency planning to increase processing capacity at VRC Baleli. The plan calls for considerable additional resource requirements, including human resources.2.
