The Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA) is UNHCR’s main government counterpart with which close cooperation is maintained to ensure the protection of refugees.
UNHCR is fully engaged in coordination fora to mainstream the needs of refugees within humanitarian and national plans. These coordination mechanisms include the Humanitarian Country Team, the Refugee Task Force, donor and NGO and inter-agency meetings at the field and camp levels. This has ensured the effective envirnoment within the Level 3 Emergency for South Sudanese refugees as well as the development of a Regional Refugee Response Plan in an event of an influx.
