Background and Policy Context. The NPARIH (Appendix 1) is a comprehensive COAG reform strategy that aims to address overcrowding, homelessness, poor housing condition and severe housing shortage in remote Indigenous communities within 10 years to June 2018. It is a National Partnership, and a critical part of two major COAG agreements: • The National Affordable Housing Agreement (NAHA) which commenced in 2009 with the objective of ensuring all Australians have access to affordable, safe and sustainable housing that contributes to social and economic participation. • The National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA), agreed by all governments in 2008, which sets out the COAG framework for Closing the Gap on Indigenous disadvantage over the long term.

Building and maintaining safe, healthy and secure homes in remote communities contributes to all of the Closing the Gap targets.

Those objectives are: • Significantly reducing severe overcrowding in remote Indigenous communities. • Increasing the supply of new houses and improving the condition of existing houses in remote Indigenous communities. • Ensuring rental houses are well maintained and managed in remote Indigenous communities. Achievement of the objectives is supported by a range of outputs set out in the NPARIH and add...

  • General Background Ecuador is part of the United Nations Convention of 1951 relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, as well as major international and regional human rights instruments that recognize the right to asylum. It is also part of the United Nations Convention of 1954 relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the United Nations Convention of 1961 on the Reduction of Statelessness. The asylum procedure in Ecuador is regulated by the Organic Law of Human Mobility, effective February 6, 2017. Ecuador is a country of transit and destination for people who need international protection. In the last two decades, Ecuador hosted more than 68,708 recognized refugees (mainly Colombian) and has become one of the leading countries of transit and destination for Venezuelan refugees and migrants. Ecuador receives the third highest number of Venezuelans after Colombia and Peru. Since 2016, more than 4.7 million Venezuelans have left their country, making it the biggest exodus in the history of Latin America. Of these, 2.2 million have entered Ecuador, of which estimated 500,000 have been established in the country according to the R4V. In 2019, approximately 2,100 Venezuelans per day entered Ecuador (with peaks of 6,000) until 26 August, when Ecuador began requiring visas for Venezuelans. Since 2018, the number of Venezuelan asylum seekers exceeded the number of asylum seekers from Colombia. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees works in Ecuador supporting the Ecuadorian government to protect refugees and looking for durable solutions. UNHCR's operation in Ecuador began in 2000 as part of the strategy of the organization to protect and provide assistance, particularly to the victims of the Colombian conflict. The Ecuadorian 2023-2025 Multiyear Strategy aims to support the Government of Ecuador to: (i) the development of protection mechanisms, (ii) strengthening national asylum system, (iii) and identification of durable solutions, including alternative pathways. The operation is coordinated at the national level by the country office in Quito. In addition, UNHCR has Sub- Offices in Quito (Solanda), Xxxxxx and Guayaquil; Field Offices in Esmeraldas, Huaquillas, Tulcán, Lago Agrio, and Field Units in Manta, Cuenca and Ambato.
