ReDSS Durable Solutions Framework Understanding progress towards durable solutions
CONTENT • Defining Durable Solutions • ReDSS Solutions framework • Solutions framework manual “conducting a solutions analysis” • Solutions programming guide “developing solutions oriented programs” 3. ReDSS Solutions framework dashboard- Online visualization of ReDSS solutions indicators to inform durable solution programing based on indicator rating and analysis
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 • INTEGRATION • Local Integration • 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 INDICATORS SOLUTIONS 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
The framework solutions analysis: a collaborative process through a consensus building approach
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. An overview of the different sections of the Solutions Framework Guidance Manual
Solutions Framework Guidance Templates to conduct comprehensive solutions analysis
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: • Core elements of solutions-oriented programs: outlines general requirements of solutions-oriented programs. • Incorporating a solutions-focus into assessments: outlinesthe key areas of enquiry that should be incorporated into sector-specific assessments. • 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.
Templates to inform solutions oriented programme development based on ReDSS Solutions framework 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
