DISPLACEMENT, RESETTLEMENT AND REHABILITATION

Another training programme that CSD has been conducting is on Displacement, Resettlement and Rehabilitation. In a developing country that is developing its infrastructure, displacement is often unavoidable. Recognising this, the programme trains different stakeholders on consequences of displacement, resettlement challenges and best practices in resettlement and rehabilitations including the techniques of social impact assessment (SIA) of development projects. Several other training programmes on different relevant themes are organized from time to time.
