NRC - The Challenges Displaced Afghans Face in Securing Durable Solutions
January 2018
This policy brief explores the situation faced by returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Afghanistan, calling for a collective approach across the humanitarian-developmentpeace nexus. Displaced persons in Afghanistan face ever-worsening situations as three studies presented in this policy brief highlight: 1) Returnees and IDPs suffer from worsening displacement-related protection needs; 2) the support to mass number of recent returnees in Jalalabad remains short-term and focused on lifesaving needs; and 3) the lack of a systemic response to services and market integration all point to a lacking conducive and responsive environment for durable solutions.
