Rebuilding agricultural livelihoods and rural communities

This brochure provides an overview of FAO’s approach to supporting the sustainable reintegration of the forcibly displaced. It is part of a series of briefs on durable solutions, which highlight key approaches to forced displacement programming and policy, including tailored approaches to partnerships, data and evidence, with a view to achieving durable solutions to forced displacement including when conditions allow for a safe and dignified return. FAO, with its expertise in rebuilding resilient rural agricultural livelihoods in forced displacement contexts, can play a fundamental role in ensuring the sustainable reintegration of returnees into rural communities. FAO’s actions to support returnees’ reintegration in rural areas at individual, community and structural levels are explored, emphasizing the crucial role of protection-sensitive approaches and the importance of conflict-sensitivity, in order to strengthen food security and nutrition, self-reliance, inclusion, gender equality and social cohesion.
