Tajikistan hosts the largest refugee population in Central Asia, with numbers increasing due to arrivals from Afghanistan. UNHCR works to strengthen local asylum systems, ensuring that refugees have access to protection, documentation, and essential services, including education and healthcare. Given the country’s shared border with Afghanistan,
