As a non-resident agency, we have a small presence in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and implement projects in Turkmenistan through NGO partners. Across the four countries, UNHCR and partners work together to implement programmes that uphold the basic human rights of people forced to flee and the stateless. We work with governments to improve laws and national systems so our people of concern stay safe, get documents, can go to school, work and exercise other rights. In Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, UNHCR focuses on strengthening local ownership of and investments in quality asylum systems; pursuing opportunities for local integration of refugees; eradicating statelessness; and collaborating with partners on emergency preparedness and response. UNHCR contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks (UNSCDF) at the respective country levels in the sub-region to ensure refugees, asylum-seekers and stateless people are not left behind in Statesโ achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Engagement ranges from rule of law, to access to and transparency of administration, justice, and human capital development.
