DISPLACEMENT AFFECTED COMMUNITIES

‘Displacement affected communities’ (DAC) entails all displaced

populations and host communities – displaced people do not live in a vacuum

• Integrated and inclusive approach including access to services
• Essential to adopt a DAC approach- inclusive of refugees, returnees,

IDPs and host communities – and to place our collective accountability to displaced populations at the centre of our action HOST COMMUNITIES

• Displaced are often hosted in underserved and marginalized areas

where absorptions capacity can be limited

• Take into account positive and negative impact of displacement and

return on the economy, environment, social cohesion and access to services of host community

3 DURABLE SOLUTIONS PROCESSES TO SUPPORT INTEGRATION

The quality of the process leading to durable solutions is a key element necessary for ensuring its sustainability

The quality of the process leading to durable solution is a key element necessary for its sustainability

• Achieving durable solution is a process that is first and foremost

determined by receiving governments and societies

• The creation of conditions conducive to durable solutions requires the

collective action of multiple political, humanitarian, development, governance and peace-building actors

• The objective is to move away from care and maintenance towards self

reliance and resilience of displacement affected communities

• Building the self-reliance and resilience of the displaced equips and

prepares them towards (re)integration

• Preparedness before displacement occurs is crucial/ early solutions

INDICATORS

 FRAMEWORK

• A practical, easy to analytical tool to assess to

what extent durable solutions have been achieved in a particular context

• Inclusive/ participatory process/ consensus

building

• Multi actors and sectors
• Operationalization of IASC framework and its 8

criteria

• 28 IASC indicators organized around physical,

material and legal safety

• Comparison to host communities
• Traffic light system
• Use of secondary data and reports – no new

assessments conducted

ReDSS Solutions Framework Guidance Manual

➢Outline on how to conduct a solutions analysis using the ReDSS Solutions Framework. The guidance manual can be used by anyone intending to undertake a solutions analysis using the ReDSS Solutions Framework. ➢a collaborative exercise involving a diverse range of stakeholders, including governmental actors and institutions, UN agencies, NGOs and academics. ➢The process should also foster the meaningful engagement of displacement-affected communities.

Section Key questions addressed Overview of key terminologies and concepts – Page 5 ➢ What are durable solutions and how are they achieved? ➢ What are the core elements of solutions planning and programming Introduction to the ReDSS Solutions Framework – Page 6 ➢ What is the ReDSS Solutions Framework? ➢ What can it be used for? How does it fit within a broader solutions analysis process? ➢ What are the ReDSS Solutions Framework’s limitations? Planning a solutions analysis – Page 11 ➢ When should a solutions analysis take place? What should be the focus of a solutions analysis (objectives, geography, population group)? ➢ Who should be involved in a solutions analysis process? How should they be mobilized and engaged? Gathering and analyzing data – Page 15 ➢ What information needs to be gathered to…

• …develop an understanding of the overall environment and the factors that may inhibit or

enable solutions?

• …measure and rate progress against the indicators in the ReDSS Solutions Framework?

➢ What methods should be used to gather the above-mentioned information? Developing recommendations – Pg 31 ➢ How can findings be used to inform policies, strategic planning and the overall response to forced displacement?

Indicators are organized around Physical, Material and Legal Safety Template II Indicator guidance matrix A guidance matrix on how to use the indicators. It includes: Definition of each indicator; where/how to find data on the indicator (data source); Ideal disaggregate(s) on each indicator; and Proxy indicator(s) where the existing indicator is not possible to measure Template III Analysis matrix for environmental analysis This matrix helps the user to make an analysis that is focused on more generalizable contextual factors that are not captured by the criteria and indicators in the ReDSS Solutions Framework. Template IV Example of ReDSS framework infographic with rating The infographic shows the rating of indicators in the Lower Juba, Somalia analysis conducted by ReDSS in 2016. It is provided as an example Template V Analysis matrix for indicator and criteria A template for recording and analyzing the information gathered based on IASC 8 criteria and 28 indicators in order to explain each indicator rating/ score.

ReDSS Solutions programming guide- “Designing solutions-oriented programs”

➢An accompanying guide to the ReDSS Framework guidance manual on how to design programs and interventions that address the gaps identified in a solutions analysis. ➢A solution analysis is a crucial step in understanding the extent to which the environment is conducive to solutions and the extent to which progress has been made to towards solutions. ➢The solutions analysis will highlight areas/sectors where there are gaps and problems to address but it will not generate findings that will fully inform program

• design. Following on from a solutions analysis, agencies will need to design

programs and interventions that address gaps and advance solutions- the programming guide provides support in this process. The durable solutions programming guide is presented in 3 sections: 1.Core elements of solutions-oriented programs: outlines general requirements of solutions-oriented programs. 2.Incorporating a solutions-focus into assessments: outlines the key areas of enquiry that should be incorporated into sector-specific assessments. 3.Solutions outcomes, indicators and illustrative activities: presents “solutions log frames” for each of the 8 IASC criteria that appear in the ReDSS Solutions Framework. The programming guide includes guidance on incorporating a solutions focus into assessments and developing solutions-oriented log frames.

indicators from the ReDSS Solutions Framework); Illustrative solutions-oriented activities aligned to the core elements of solutions-oriented programming and contribute to the achievement of the outcomes. Template II Sector specific questions for solutions

A guidance on detailed questions that sector-specific assessments should try to answer, organized according to the 8 IASC durable solutions criteria and relevant to the core elements of solutions-oriented programming Template III General contextual questions for sector-specific assessments A guidance on broader environmental factors to consider, including the legal and policy environment, the capacity and willingness of the institutions with responsibility for addressing forced displacement, the profile of the displacement-affected community and the nature of the current response to forced displacement. Useful to understand the extent to which the environment is conducive to the achievement of durable solutions Note: This guide & templates should be considered as a starting point- and more detailed guidance should be developed in collaboration with sector specialists

Core elements to inform Solutions planning and programing

• Creating durable solutions requires a multi- stakeholder and

sectoral, rights and needs based programming approach

• The process must be viewed as a collective action rather than

mandate driven based on an inclusive, participatory and consensus building approach

• The national and local authorities have the primary responsibility

and they need to be supported to be able to play a leadership and coordinating role

• Developing area based Solutions analysis (localization of aid) is

paramount due to limited absorption capacity, prevailing protection concerns, and persistent security and access issues.

• Community engagement is critical to inform (re)integration analysis

and programing to make solutions lasting, locally relevant and supportive of social cohesion and to adopt a ‘displacement affected communities’ approach- inclusive of returnees, IDPs and host communities

• Involve development actors from the start to inform medium to long

term sectorial priorities complementing humanitarian interventions
