In early 2020 UNDP undertook a study to map the journey that Afghans take in their return from Pakistan, and the services they need or access along the way, with the aim of identifying gaps in service provision. This study aimed to identify approaches to promote the sustainable and community-based reintegration of Afghan returnees, which is critical for the long-term development of Afghanistan. This report explores in-depth the context of service provision in Kabul, Laghman, Nangahar, and at the Torkham border crossing.
