Durable Solutions Initiative

The Ethiopia Durable Solutions Initiative (DSI) provides a principled operational framework and platform to design and implement durable solutions in support of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ethiopia and host communities/communities at locations of return, relocation or local integration.

It aims at facilitating collective action and cooperation between the Ethiopian government authorities at national, regional, and local levels and the international community.

It is based on and reflects relevant governmental plans and strategies as well as international standards including the 2010 United Nations (UN) Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and the 2010 Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons.
