Analysis of the wider context

An analysis of the progress towards durable solutions for IDPs based on the above quantitative indicators needs to be complemented with a macro-level analysis of e.g. relevant laws and policies, rule of law, social cohesion, livelihood opportunities, IDPs’ housing, land, and property situation, capacities of infrastructure and services.
