Germany Offers Incentives to Afghan Refugees in Pakistan to Ease BAP Strain

The German government has launched an incentive scheme for Afghan citizens currently in Pakistan. The 'offer up' (aiming to alleviate strain on the Federal Admission Program (BAP)), provides cash payments and in-kind assistance to those who choose not to seek entry under the BAP.

Afghan citizens in Pakistan are being informed about this new 'offer'. The German government hopes to encourage some to 'forgo' entry under the BAP, thereby easing pressure on the program. The exact names of the government officials overseeing the allocation process in the federal admissions program have not been disclosed.

The German government's 'offer' to Afghan citizens in Pakistan is part of an effort to manage the BAP more effectively. Those who accept the cash payments and in-kind assistance will help 'reduce' the current backlog, allowing the program to function more smoothly.
