The action will empower displaced men and women to plan and negotiate returns, and where necessary relocations, together with members of host communities. Essential infrastructure will be improved to provide access to safe water and sanitation based on joint planning with host communities, and community governance and linkages to government planning and budgeting will be strengthened. Particular attention and safeguards will be applied to ensure that the rights of vulnerable groups including women, children and older people are protected. Assistance will also be provided for livelihoods of displaced people and host communities to improve food and income security. Coordinating closely with local government, the action will also support advocacy of grassroots actors and at local and national levels to stimulate policy change in support of the rights of displaced people.
