The translation support is crucial as UNHCR Indonesia is also developing a new digital platform and is updating its communication strategy for refugees in Indonesia to ensure that they have improved access to information and services provided by UNHCR, which will contribute to the achievement of better gender equality and tackle inequality in access to information among the refugee population, while enhancing that refugees have better understanding about their rights and available solutions.
