HLP: Supporting HLP-sensitive CCCM Interventions in Informal Settings In North-West Syria 2019

Tool for verifying land ownership and administration in informal, self-settled IDP sites, including sites on land in need of infrastructure work where occupants do not have a legal claim based on findings from CCCM interventions in northwest Syria. Key challenges covered are: 1) lack of authorization of landowner(s) to use the land, 2) threats of evictions of beneficiaries, 3) levying of fees by ‘fake’ owners or armed groups for land use. Context is in Syria, but guidance is transferrable to informal settlement contexts.
