Eviction Response and Resettlement

Forced Eviction and eviction threats are serious violations of human rights that can be mitigated or prevented by securing HLP rights and tenure security. CCCM programming must ensure that site selection processes are in accordance with applicable laws, customs, and standards to mitigate the risk of forced eviction. In addition, integrating Eviction risk monitoring can improve eviction response and prevention interventions. 

The resources and tools included in this section focus on eviction risk mapping and monitoring, specific CCCM guidance on eviction responses, and addressing HLP issues as a method for eviction risk prevention. 

Tools

Context
Conducting an eviction risk assessment. 

Summary 
Useful form for identifying basic details about a settlement and the risk of eviction. The form asks for the settlement type, location, and details of a settlement, tenure type, agreement type, and eviction risk condition.

Context
Template to be used for tracking evictions after they take place, used to complement the Eviction Monitoring Matrix. Intended to be updated on an ad hoc basis after an eviction has happened and shared with the CCCM focal point. 

Summary 
The template is intended to understand information related to evictions, such as what kinds of vulnerable individuals are affected, infrastructural characteristics of evicted sites, causes of eviction, entity forcing the eviction, and the responses to eviction. Divided into the following 7 sections:

  1. geography
  2. general eviction information
  3. vulnerability
  4. infrastructure
  5. eviction cause
  6. eviction entity
  7. response

Context
Matrix to be used for preventing forced evictions before they happen, intended to be updated monthly and shared with Sub National Cluster and HLP focal points.

Summary 
This matrix is used to collect information on factors that influence eviction risks so they can be reported to HLP responders. The matrix can be filled with information on the detailed location of the site, camp leaders, land owners, tenure types, risk conditions, risk eviction, and additional notes/comments. 

Context
Form to use to quickly capture the severity of eviction risk.

Summary 
Four categories of eviction risk: low, medium, high, and extreme, each containing criteria related to the type of tenure arrangement (IE monthly open-ended, short-term lease, expired agreement, etc.)
