UNHCR has supported and will continue doing so the Government, which leads the refugee response working closely with the EU, state and municipal actors, UN agencies, international/local NGOs, refugees, local communities. While Greece is still considered a transit country, it has also become a country of asylum. UNHCR estimates that some 70,000-80,000 refugees, including those with subsidiary and temporary protection status, are currently living in Greece, in addition to some 30,000 asylum-seekers. While most refugees and asylum-seekers are in the mainland, living in and outside camps, there are currently over 3,300 on the islands.
Large majority of the latter live in camps, including the new Closed Controlled Access Centres (islands of Kos, Leros, Samos). Two new Centres are to be constructed on Lesvos and Chios. UNHCR Greece is focused on a protection-driven approach around two pillars: 1.access to international protection and 2.durable solutions with focus on integration. UNHCR uses a mix of operational engagement, CB protection efforts, expert advice provision to the Government, monitoring and improved data collection, targeted interventions and advocacy, aiming to support Greece in fulfilling its obligations to provide protection and solutions to persons in need of international protection. Child protection, prevention of SGBV, SEA and institutional capacity strengthening in these areas will continue to be priority, in line with the Office\u2019s AGD approach. In doing so, UNHCR seeks to build on the strengths and capacities of refugees, by working with them and not for them.
