More than 5.7 million refugees have honorably and voluntarily repatriated to Afghanistan after the downfall of the Taliban regime in the past decade. According to UNHCR’s estimation; around 2.7 million Afghans continue to live in exile in neighboring countries. For 2013, UNHCR's planning figure for voluntary returns to Afghanistan is 172,000. This includes: 150,000 returnees from Pakistan, 20,000 from the Islamic Republic of Iran and 2,000 from other countries. To contribute to rebuilding of Afghanistan, and to be an active member of the society, returning refugees are encouraged to participate in security, economy, education, reconciliation, and reconstruction sectors.
