This report advocates for an area-based and inclusive approach to addressing the housing rights of urban IDPs and their host communities, because their needs are often similar. Such an approach should be combined with targeted approaches when IDPs’ specific needs and vulnerabilities have been identified. It advocates for a human rights-based approach to housing programmes and policies across both humanitarian and development sectors, and among national and local responders.
