Durable Solutions for Recovering Communities Peacebuilding

Following the passage of cyclones Idai and Kenneth in March and April 2019 and the subsequent large humanitarian response, Mozambique has transitioned into the recovery and resilience phase. As such, the key interventions currently aim to support displaced persons and other affected populations in Mozambique to build resilience and progress towards sustainable and durable solutions to displacement. In 2016, IOM adopted an inclusive, resilience-oriented approach to resolving displacement, outlined in the Progressive Resolution of Displacement Situations Framework. Through an incremental approach that is aligned with existing global standards and best practices, IOM seeks to strengthen coping capacities, foster self-reliance and create environments conducive to resolving displacement. Central to IOM’s approach is the recognition of the need for systematic efforts grounded in long-term and evidence-based development actions that involve multiple sectors and a wide-range of partnerships across humanitarian, development and peace actors.
