Can the physical/congestion challenges in displacement sites be overcome through social behavioural changes in preparedness and response to COVID-19? Today’s Q&A is with colleagues working in health, WASH, site planning and camp management. The session invites participants to reflect on lessons learned and best practices that are currently in place in displacement sites to minimize risks and mitigate community transmission of the pandemic.

Today’s breakout sessions will then offer choices for participants to explore various aspects related to physical environment vital in site management. From what camp managers know/should know about site planning, the effort to overcome site congestion in Nigeria, informal buying and renting of land and family plots in a site, to the starting up of our working group (WG) on sustainability and environmental concerns in displacement sites.

By the end of this session, participants will have:

Reflected on the challenges due to the COVID-19 in displacement sites
Learnt about the creation of a new WG
Identified the House, Land and Property (HLP) challenges in displacement sites
Learnt about site planning
Learnt about decongestion interventions in the context of Nigeria

Session Facilitators: Wan S. and Jim Kennedy

Break out room #2 HLP: "Clinic" session about informal real estate market in displacement sites

Buying and selling of camp plots - right or wrong? What should our role be in this informal real estate market? Monitoring? Observer? do's and don'ts?

How are those participating in informal real estate market having any security of tenure - what does it look like in that context? Are there threats of eviction in this setting?
