Greater reduction of statelessness is achieved
UNHCR will provide legal and logistical support to
individuals in Group A to obtain documents
confirming their nationality.
UNHCR, together with the Ministry of Interior and
NGO partners, will reach out to individuals in Group B
to facilitate issuance of residence permits and, once
they become eligible for naturalization, provide legal
and logistical support to apply for Dominican
nationality.
In collaboration with IOM and NGO partners, UNHCR
will map geographical areas with high concentrations
of people who were not able to register under the
special law, with a view to registering them and
providing support to obtain documentation to prove
their birth in the Dominican Republic.
In total, UNHCR aims to assist 20,000 individuals.
