The Return, Reception and Reintegration of Afghan Nationals to Afghanistan program was developed within the frame of the EU Plan for Return to Afghanistan for facilitating and assisting voluntary returns and sustainable reintegration into Afghanistan. RANA was designed to complement existing national assisted voluntary programs while providing enhanced reception and reintegration assistance for Afghan nationals returning from one of the EU Member States. RANA had two main components: (i) return and reception –by including pre-departure information and post-arrival reception assistance; and (ii) reintegration –by providing reintegration assistance to facilitate access to livelihoods.
