About ERRIN

The European Return and Reintegration Network is an initiative of 16 European states that helps to ensure that people on the move can return home in a dignified and humane manner. ERRIN is working with local organisations on the ground in 40 countries, offering comprehensive assistance for returning migrants. Following the initial aid provided right upon arrival, the reintegration support may involve support for housing, medical treatment, vocational training and educational needs, or setting up a business.

About IRARA

In Afghanistan, we work with IRARA. With a constant presence in Afghanistan for several years IRARA has been supporting returning citizens of Afghanistan since 2017, with reintegration centres in Kabul, Herat, Mazar, Kandahar and Nangarhar. All of the IRARA professional counsellors are nationals of Afghanistan and have extensive experience in assisting returnees by providing advice and support for successful reintegration, tailored to individual needs.
