In 2022 the population of concern to UNHCR in Italy increased considerably mainly due to the war in the Ukraine. By year end 174000 Ukrainians had officially arrived and 168000 applied for temporary protection making Ukrainians the biggest population of concern to UNHCR. In parallel more than 105000 individuals arrived by sea an increase of 56% compared to 2021. In 2023 arrival trends year to date are significantly high and while there have been fluctuations in levels of arrivals the drivers of the movements from the Sahel Tigray and other countries such as Afghanistan moving along the Central Mediterranean and Balkan routes will remain or worsen because of the negative impacts of conflicts and climate change. In Italy UNHCR works with the Italian government other organizations and refugees themselves to uphold the basic human rights of stateless persons and people forced to flee and to improve laws and national systems so refugees and stateless persons stay safe get documents can go to school work and exercise other rights. Through its staff and partners UNHCR is engaged in activities aimed at ensuring full and equal enjoyment of rights by all persons of concern addressing protection risks in an Age Gender and Diversity (AGD) sensitive manner with a particular focus on persons with specific needs such as unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) and survivors of gender-based violence (GBV). UNHCR's protection delivery is based on a community-based protection approach which aims at putting people of concern at the center of all decisions affecting their lives. Based on this approach UNHCR promotes active refugee participation in all aspects of the UNHCR programme cycle builds protection strategies and solutions in partnership with them and supports the community's own goals also through better communication with communities. UNHCR staff perform a variety of tasks country-wide including: attending key phases of disembarkation procedures providing new arrivals with information on international protection and other relevant procedures through leaflets and group information sessions and supporting the authorities in identifying persons with specific needs; monitoring land border procedures and their potential impact on access to international protection focusing in particular on people with specific needs; conducting visits to reception facilities across the country liaising with relevant authorities to ensure that safe dignified accommodation conditions are provided; working with authorities and partners to identify persons with additional protection needs such as UASC survivors of GBV and other persons at risk so that they can be promptly referred for follow-up and appropriate services; and providing support to the National Commission for the Right to Asylum including on the reform of the RSD procedure. UNHCR also seeks to help refugees thrive in Italy and fully contribute to the economic cultural and social life of the country through support to the implementation of the Government's national integration plan provision of information and counselling on rights entitlements and obligations engagement with the private sector to promote refugees' employment and by working with Italian universities to promote access to higher education to refugees through scholarships and tutoring programmes. The UNHCR Senior Protection Assistant based in Trieste will directly report to the Senior Protection Associate in Rome heading the UNHCR Field Protection Unit in Italy.

The Italian authorities will issue a visa and residence permit to UNHCR international staff members. Before arriving at a new duty station finding an accommodation will be a priority. There are some limited facilities to access Duty Free privileges. Buying a new vehicle is a lengthy process while buying second hand is even more complex. The public transport system is relatively reliable and most colleagues have elected to reside in the office neighborhood. A valid driving license issued by a European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) member state is automatically accepted in all other member states. People with EU/EEA-issued driver's license who take up residence in Italy are not required to exchange it for an Italian license.

Most of the territory of Turkmenistan the second largest country of Central Asia stretching over 491210 km2 is covered by Karakum desert. Turkmenistan is heavily impacted by climate change the impact of which include: (i) steady increase in average temperature of 1.40C; increasing occurrences of daily temperatures of over 40oC occasionally surpassing 500C in Karakum desert and accentuation of differences between hottest and coldest temperatures (ii) variability in monthly precipitation has been growing and the amount of precipitation during recent years has slightly increased particularly in spring months with the lowest precipitation values being observed in summer (iii) an increase in the average regional evaporation rates of 48% by 2050 (iv) an increase in the frequency and intensity of drought and flood spells; (v) 10-15% reduction in flow rates for the Amu Darya river; and a 30% reduction in other rivers and tributaries’ discharge. Drought represents the biggest threat increasing the pace of desertification. During dry years the pasture productivity and harvests are reduced by 50-70 % significantly affecting food security. The drying up of the Aral Sea is one of the ecological disasters for the CA region. Most of the water basin has already evaporated and intense wind erosion is occurring from the drying sea zone to the adjacent irrigated areas thereby leading huge economic losses in agriculture public health and environmental stability. The project area (Dashoguz velayat and Darganata etrap in Lebap velayat) is most affected by the negative effects of the Aral Sea which has been devastated over the past few decades by poor water management and agricultural practices and is currently one of the most degraded landscapes in the country.
