Operational Context
As UNHCR began its new programming year, partnership agreements were renewed with the Tunisian Refugee Council (CTR), the Arab Institute for Human Rights (AIHR) and the Tunisian Association for Management and Social Stability (TAMSS), covering the full spectrum of protection, assistance, advocacy and capacity-building activities. Building on achievements in 2020 and lessons learned, UNHCR’s 2021 strategic response will be geared towards improving refugees’ and asylum-seekers’ socio-economic inclusion, while expanding access to fundamental rights and basic social services. The 2021 programme will be implemented together with governmental and civil society entities, and in line with the objectives of the Global Compact on Refugees.
