Durable solutions for IDPs: challenges and way forward

"Durable solutions for IDPs: challenges and way forward" is a training package developed to build the capacity of relevant actors to engage in national durable solutions processes. It consists of materials making up a 2.5-day participative event based largely on the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC)’s framework on durable solutions. Its structure and contents are flexible, it can be adapted to specific countries or displacement situations and to shorter timeframes if necessary.

The training package was field-tested in Georgia and Uganda in 2011, and rolled out in Mali, Côte d’Ivoire and the Philippines in 2014. During this time it was enriched with a module on "Profiling and durable solutions" developed by JIPS and benefitted from the support of Solutions Alliance and of the Global Cluster on Early Recovery during the revision conducted in 2015.
