About UNHCR

The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) protects people forced to flee due to conflict and persecution, working with governments and partners in more than 130 countries to provide life-saving support and protect their rights. The UNHCR Multi-Country Office in Panama supports refugees and asylum seekers in 22 states and territories of the Caribbean: Belize, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Nicaragua, Panama and Eastern & Southern Caribbean.

The Multi-Country Office in Panama collaborates with governments, UN agencies, NGOs, civil society, and host communities to help displaced people find safety and rebuild their lives.

UNHCR is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights, and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and stateless persons.

In the Multi-Country Office based in Panama, we work States to protect refugees and asylum seekers. We also collaborate with governments, civil society, and the private sector to ensure that they can fully exercise their rights.
