Social Support for Afghan Refugees and Host Communities (SSARC)

Pakistan has one of the largest refugee populations. Most of the Afghan refugees live in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). A high percentage of vulnerable groups are exposed to various stress factors: uncertainties, lack of perspectives and livelihoods, as well as trauma and violence. These factors have a direct impact on the peaceful coexistence between the Afghan and Pakistani communities and on the social wellbeing of individuals, families, and communities. The project “Social Support for Afghan Refugees and Host Communities” aims to strengthen the capacity of relevant actors (professionals and key individuals who have regular interactions with vulnerable groups) and policy makers of Commissionerate for Afghan Refugees (CAR) and line ministries to address psychosocial needs of vulnerable target groups.

Furthermore, the project offers psychosocial support services such as communal, cultural, and sport activities and awareness sessions, mainly at “Cohesion Hubs” that shall be created for the vulnerable groups. The project will be implemented in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.
