After four decades of conflict, Afghans remain one of the largest and longest displaced populations in the world. Yet, return still remains an elusive prospect for most Afghan refugees. This event brings together an expert panel to discuss what 'return and reintegration' means in today's Afghanistan? What role can refugees play in rebuilding Afghanistan and what are the barriers to return currently? Panellists will seek to explore the centrality of refugees in decision-making and policy development, the need for regional cooperation, and discuss the steps necessary to bring about greater cohesion between humanitarian and development actors in order to facilitate long-term solutions for displaced Afghans.
