In line with Action 7 and Action 8, as of November, UNHCR and the Catholic University of Mozambique have supported over 15,000 people at risk of statelessness in Cabo Delgado Province in obtaining birth certificates and identification cards. The population who was assisted included both displaced and host communities. In line with Action 8, Issue nationality documentation to those with entitlement to it, in Mauritania, UNHCR and its legal partner recently launched a legal assistance program for returnees from Senegal who are experiencing difficulties in obtaining a national identity document. Since the launch of the program in May 2021, twentysix individuals have obtained civil documentation after being assisted with various administrative and judicial procedures. On 28 September, the civil registration authorities of Chad issued national identity cards to 3,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) at risk of statelessness who live on the border with Nigeria. The identification project is part of a partnership agreement between the civil registration authorities and UNHCR which is supporting the process. The project is ongoing and as of 25 November, close to 4,800 identity cards to IDPs at risk of statelessness have been issued, which is 85% of the planned figure under this project. Several news outlets reporting on the project, including Nouvelles.TD and Le Sahel. In line with Action 10, Improve quantitative and qualitative data on stateless populations, in August and September, in Kazakhstan, UNHCR and the Bureau of National Statistics undertook capacity building activities to support the mapping of statelessness through the national population census. Videos and other communication materials were produced to train enumerators and to sensitize the general public on how to fill out the census questionnaire. The information campaign specifically targeted stateless persons and persons of undetermined nationality to encourage their participation in the census and address any concerns they may have. Also, sessions on nationality and statelessness were included in trainings for enumerators and other employees of government agencies involved in the census exercise. The activities that UNHCR is undertaking in supporting the census are part of the Joint Data Centre on Forced Migration Project.
