Abstract
In 2014, an I2UD research team produced a set of background research materials for the International Organization for Migration’s 2015 “World Migration Report,” addressing issues of displacement, migration and resettlement in the Middle East and North African (MENA) geographic region. In the Background Paper, the MENA region is further delineated as the Mashreq, Maghreb, Gulf Cooperation Council, and Southern Tier regions.
I2UD staff prepared of a series of case studies and facilitation of training course for Iraqi officials, discussing durable shelter solutions for internal displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees in Iraq, Syria, Spain, Italy, Sudan, and Yemen. The project aimed to: support local authority’s capacity to deal with migration patterns, review shelter needs for refugees, address reforms and challenges for accommodating migrants, and offer support for returnees.
Documents include a MENA Background Paper and a corresponding outline and work plan from 2014. Supporting materials include a display of “Project Statistics and Refugee Camps” in the region, a “Provincial Action Plan” for Van, Turkey, and an outline of “Durable Housing Solutions and Livelihoods for Georgian IDPs.”
