Movement of Persons of Concern to UNHCR In 2021, the Government of South Africa will embark on strengthening the asylum system. Following the profiling exercises and registrations of intentions, it is expected that promotion and facilitation of voluntary repatriation for Namibians, Liberians and Sierra-Leoneans will be the durable solution pursued for these caseloads in a multi-year exercise. The phase out/down of UNHCR operations in Namibia and Botswana require a comprehensive response where durable solutions will play a critical role in reducing the refugee population. UNHCR will work with country offices and governments in framing voluntary repatriation modalities and assist individuals to return in safety and dignity. With the reduced asylum space change within the SADC region, mainly in Botswana, the impact of increased voluntary repatriation including return of failed asylum applications due to significant changes in conditions in countries of origin, would alleviate the burden upon the host country. UNHCR together with IOM will continue to assist individuals to return.

Improving Migrant Assistance and Supporting Local Communities in Republika Srpska Since 2015, the Western Balkans have become one of the main routes taken by migrants, asylum-seekers and refugees to reach the European Union (EU). Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) were not immediately affected by the flow, but starting in 2018, the country became a major transit point on the route. Although significant efforts have been made by the authorities to improve immigration and border management capacities, the presence of large numbers of migrants in BiH represents a significant challenge, especially for registration, determination of identity and nationality, and onward referrals.
