Chile

In Chile, UNHCR works closely with government institutions, partners, civil society, and communities to ensure international protection, support the integration of over 540,000 refugees, asylum-seekers, and others in need, and promote lasting solutions.

Special emphasis is placed on engaging host communities to foster peaceful coexistence, counter xenophobia, and encourage inclusive social dynamics where Chileans and newcomers build stronger communities together.

The operations in Chile are coordinated by the Argentina multi-country office.
