Women, men, girls and boys who are forced to leave their home have to adjust to a new environment, find ways to earn their living while trying to stay healthy and safe. They have the universal right to a durable solution, be it through return, resettlement or local integration. According to the IASC Framework on Durable Solutions, ‘a durable solution is achieved when people who were internally displaced (as well as forcibly displaced persons in general) no longer have any specific assistance and protection needs and can enjoy their human rights without discrimination on account of their displacement status’.
On this page, we get insights from different actors on ways to support efforts towards Durable Solutions, get access to resources and tools and hear country-specific experiences.
