    Background:

    The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees-UNHCR was established on December
    14, 1950 by the United Nations General Assembly. The agency is mandated to lead and
    coordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide.
    Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. It strives to ensure
    that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another State,
    with the option to return home voluntarily, integrate locally or to resettle in a third country.
    It also has a mandate to help stateless people. In more than six decades, the agency has
    helped tens of millions of people restart their lives.

    More than 860,000 Venezuelans have arrived in Peru. The vast majority are entering by land
    through the Ecuadorian border. Over 280,000 had applied for refugee status by June 2019. In
    order to respond to this emergency, UNHCR is scaling up its presence in the country and has
    set up a country office in Lima and four other field offices in Tumbes, Tacna, Cusco and
    Arequipa. UNHCR is responding to the influx directly and through the support of the
    Government of Peru. It works with authorities, communities, other UN agencies, NGOs and
    civil society to strengthen protection responses.

    UNHCR is responding to the influx directly and through the support of the Government of
    Peru. It works with authorities, communities, other UN agencies, NGOs and civil society to
    strengthen protection responses.

    UNHCR is providing direct technical and material assistance to the Special Commission for
    Refugees (CEPR) in order to deal with the asylum backlog, to strengthen registration
    procedures and to provide access to Refugee Status Determination (RSD). UNHCR and its
    partners are supporting Venezuelans and host communities by implementing multi-sectoral
    activities in terms of information gathering and analysis (including age and gender
    disaggregation), identification and referral of those most vulnerable (including women and
    children at risk), reception, protection and documentation, shelter, access to primary health
    care, education, material assistance and other key assistance through Cash Based
    Interventions. UNHCR has scaled up its protection monitoring capacities at the border and in
    urban settings to enhance the identification of individuals with protection or other specific
    needs, including those of children at risk, SGBV survivors and LGBTI, as well as the referral
    mechanisms to essential services.

    Coordination of the response to Venezuelan populations is being undertaken together with


    IOM (International Organization for Migrations) in line of the UN Secretary General´s
    decision. As a result of this joint leadership/coordination, UNHCR and IOM Peru have set-up a
    regional coordination platform and a local inter-agency working group on refugees and
    migrants called Grupo de Trabajo sobre Refugiados y Migrantes (GRTM) aiming at supporting
    government response.
