DESCRIPTION:

Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FHA), an international group of agencies was established in Europe, North America and South Asia for emergency relief, principally in the developing world. It helped people in need to reduce their dependence on humanitarian aid and to facilitate their transition to sustainable, self-reliant, long-term development. FHA was affiliated with the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), a group of institutions working to improve opportunities and living conditions for people of all faiths and origins, in specific regions of the developing world. In October 2000 the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees announced that the Afghan Border had been reopened for repatriation of Afghan refugees in Pakistan. Dr Behroze Ross Sharif, one of the founders of Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FHA) in Washington, accompanied by Dr Fariyal Ross Sharif came to Pakistan to work on the repatriation project for AKDN. This case discusses how AKDN facilitated the repatriation process with specific reference to Afghan refugees in Pakistan.
