From the Preface:
The first regional meeting of national and international NGOs working in refugee related domains, specifically Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan, was held on April 11-12, 2013 in Tehran, Iran. The meeting, entitled “Afghan Refugees/Returnees: Challenges and Opportunities,” aimed to allow active NGOs in Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan that play a vital role in strategic planning for Afghan refugees and migrants as well as improving the lives of the vulnerable within Afghanistan to share their experiences and innovative ideas. Through the sharing of information it is hoped that clear strategies and plans can be made to better meet the needs of vulnerable Afghans living both inside and out of Afghanistan.
