| Policy Directions: Housing, Land and Property Solutions to Resolve and Prevent Displacement | 2024 | The “Policy Directions: Housing, Land and Property Solutions to Resolve and Prevent Displacement” was developed by UN-Habitat and the Global Land Tool Network with the financial support of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany as a contribution to the UN Secretary General’s Action Agenda on Internal Displacement. The document analyses internal displacement and other forms of internal and cross-border population movements from the land and HLP perspective; provides a set of land and HLP solutions to resolve and prevent displacement, articulated in three categories: humanitarian protection, recovery and resilience; and describes enabling factors necessary to address and prevent displacement. The document draws from 24 case studies across 14 countries, showcasing durable solutions in contexts impacted by displacement. The paper is addressed to a broad and non-specialized audience composed of humanitarian, peace and development actors, including representatives of governments, international organizations, civil society, academia and private sector actors with a stake in addressing and preventing internal displacement. |
