HLP: Eviction Programming - Prevention and Response Intervention Framework 2020

Context
A standard operating procedure (SoP) provides guidance on the processes, procedures, and steps to follow when an eviction threat is issued, and it can be used as a guide for intervening in rights violations caused by evictions and eviction notices. 

Summary 
The SoP approaches eviction prevention through a participatory and inclusive approach that is non-adversarial and community-based. An outline of the distinct objectives eviction prevention initiatives seeks to achieve is provided (p. 1). The process of eviction prevention and response is laid out in six steps (p. 2-3).
These include:

  1. Eviction threat alerts
  2. Escalation of alerts to the Protection Working Group
  3. Notification to government focal point
  4. Establish contact with the landowner or representatives
  5. Consultations and negotiations
  6. Facilitate relocation and tenure security support.

Each step of the process is concisely summarized, and a flow chart detailing the process is provided (p.4).
