The overarching goal of SUIDAC is to enhance the sustainable integration of Displacement-Affected Communities in these cities. This Action defines DACs as both the forcibly displaced populations (refugees, asylum seekers, IDPs, returnees) and host communities.
To achieve this, the programme has outlined two primary outcomes:
Improving self-reliance and social cohesion
The programme will work to improve the well-being of DACs by reducing distress and enhancing access to essential services such as health, nutrition, education, and housing. It aims to increase livelihood opportunities and financial support, ensuring displaced individuals achieve greater economic independence.The initiative will also improve access to documentation and legal assistance, ensuring that DACs receive the protection they need.
Strengthening local governance
Urban development policies will be adopted to integrate approaches to forced displacement, ensuring inclusive and sustainable urban planning. The programme will facilitate key infrastructure projects that embed environmentally sustainable practices.It will also promote multi-level policy dialogue to strengthen responses to urban displacement and ensure coordinated regional strategies.
