Australian donors have contributed to many UNHCR returning home
operations, providing relief packages, transport and support for
vulnerable groups. Over several years donors helped provide funds
for the return of refugees to Afghanistan and Burundi as well as
more than 10,000 South Sudanese refugees.
Support included transport, shelter and funds for education and
livelihood projects for the returnees. In Papua New Guinea we
funded a range of education, livelihood and training assistance
programs for resettled West Papuan refuges living in the remote
border area near the Fly River.
