Community-based protection (CBP) puts the capacities, agency, rights and dignity of persons of concern at the centre of programming. It generates more effective and sustainable protection outcomes by strengthening local resources and capacity and identifying protection gaps through consultation.
UNHCR provides, on a limited basis, scholarships for refugees at the tertiary level in universities and polytechnic institutions through the Albert Einstein German Academic Refugee Initiative Fund (DAFI). The Federal Government of Germany provides funding for this programme. The purpose of the DAFI Programme is to contribute to the self-reliance of refugees by providing them with a professional qualification for future employment. Scholarships are granted only for studies in the country of asylum. Preferably, UNHCR would like to see the graduates return home and contribute to the reconstruction of their home country.
The overall aim of the intervention is to support and strengthen the resilience of refugees, asylum seekers, and to an extent, also the host community. The efforts aim in minimizing protection risk and empowering a socially improved peaceful environment for the beneficiaries of persons of concern. The Urban Cohesion Hub aims to maintain a ratio of 70% afghan Refugees and 30% host community members in all of its activities.
DAFI+ is a skill development initiative implemented by Inspire Pakistan. It is a collaboration between UNHCR and the GIZ Refugee Management Support Programme to complement the Albert Einstein German Academic Refugee Initiative (DAFI), with the aim to connect current and past DAFI scholars as well as educated Afghan refugee youth in Pakistan with on-the-job training opportunities and provide them with digital skills training, thereby equipping them with marketable professional experience and skills to support a sustainable reintegration upon voluntary repatriation to Afghanistan. In this third round of the intervention, Inspire Pakistan intends to train 200 Afghan refugees – aspirants or beneficiaries of the DAFI scholarship program, in digital skills and entrepreneurship skills training and on-the-job training.
Promoting Social Cohesion between Afghan Refugees and Host Communities through Urban Cohesion Hub (UCH)” aims at obtaining the goal: to empower Afghan Refugees and Host Communities of Karachi to co-exist in a socially improved environment. Funded by German Government, implemented by GIZ Pakistan and managed by Inspire Pakistan.
