Job Description

Brief Project Description: 
UNHCR is establishing a liaison office in Chile in 2008. Chile is the
country in the southern cone of South America where the UNHCR programme has
experienced the most important growth in the last years and significant
progress in the implementation of all the programmes of the Mexico Plan of
Action. 

In September 2007 the Chilean Government accepted a UNHCR request to
resettle to Chile a group of 117 Palestinian refugees who fled from Iraq and
were stuck in Al Tanf camp in the no-man's land between Iraq and Syria. The
refugees arrived to Chile in April and May 2008 and settled down in four
different locations: the towns of La Callera and San Felipe at approx 130 Km
from Santiago and the municipalities of Nuñoa and Recoleta in the outskirts
of Santiago.

The resettlement of the Palestinians in Chile is taking place in the
framework of the MOU that UNHCR has signed with the Chilean Government in
1999 for the resettlement of refugees to Chile. It should also be noted that
since 2004 the Regional Solidarity Resettlement Programme of the Mexico Plan
of Action has been under implementation. Under this Plan, Colombian refugees
are resettled to Chile twice a year.

Although Palestinian refugees are expected to benefit from the protection
network established in Chile for supporting refugees under the ongoing
Regional Resettlement Programme, the establishment of an ad hoc programme of
the duration for 2 years was necessary due to the special features of this
group.
