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 Return / voluntary repatriation INTEGRATIO Local Integration N Relocation / Resettlement
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
3 principles at the centre of solutions processes The quality of the process leading to durable solutions is a key element necessary for ensuring its sustainability
ReDSS Solutions Framework to measure progress towards integration • 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, INDICATORS material and legal safety SOLUTIONS • Comparison to host communities FRAMEWORK • Traffic light system • Use of secondary data and reports – no new assessments conducted

Solutions Framework Guidance Templates to conduct comprehensive solutions analysis Template No. Title Description/ use Template I Full list of ReDSS framework List of 28 indicators arranged into 8 criteria indicators contained within the IASC Framework. 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 This matrix helps the user to make an analysis that analysis 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 The infographic shows the rating of indicators in infographic with rating the Lower Juba, Somalia analysis conducted by ReDSS in 2016. It is provided as an example Template V Analysis matrix for indicator and A template for recording and analyzing the criteria information gathered based on IASC 8 criteria and 28 indicators in order to explain each indicator rating/ score. Template VI Sample questions for Focus Group Template on sample questions that may be used to Discussions collect qualitative background information relevant to each of the indicators. Template VII Linkages between criteria A table displaying potential areas of intersection
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.
