The agency is mandated to lead and coordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide. Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. It strives to support States to ensure that everyone forced to flee can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another State, with the option to return home voluntarily, integrate locally or to resettle in a third country (www.unhcr.org). The UNHCR Multi-Country Office for Representation in Zambia, covers Malawi and Zimbabwe national offices, and the representational office in Lusaka. UNHCR supports the Governments of the three countries to provide an enabling protection environment that allows asylum seekers, refugees and former refugees to be protected, be self-reliant and achieve durable solutions. Malawi hosts over 60,500 refugees, asylum-seekers, and other forcibly displaced persons, mainly in Dzaleka Camp and surrounding host communities. Malawi is a state party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, as well as the 1969 OAU Convention. The national framework includes reservations which underpin the encampment policy, with Dzaleka designated as the official residence for persons of concern. The national legal framework is governed by the Refugee Act of 1989, currently under review to align with international standards. UNHCR Malawi, operating under the Zambia Multi-Country Office (MCO), focuses on strengthening government-led systems and integrated service delivery. Within this framework, WASH programming is transitioning toward sustainable, climate-resilient solutions. The Managed Aquifer Rech
