Policy Framework and Implementation Strategy. UNHCR's Role in Support of the Return and Reintegration of Displaced Populations

Supporting the sustainability of return and reintegration is an integral part of UNHCR’s responsibility for the promotion of durable solutions. Traditionally, the Office has exercised that responsibility most directly in relation to refugees. Now that UNHCR has assumed an enhanced role in the inter-agency response to the challenges of internal displacement, the Office is equally committed to the task of finding durable solutions for IDPs. This will be done in partnership with national authorities and other key actors, whilst taking account of the distinct features of the return and reintegration process for refugees and the internally displaced.
