Resettlement policies

Resettlement policies guide how governments or organizations support people displaced by development projects, natural disasters, or other causes. These policies ensure that affected individuals are fairly compensated, provided with alternative housing, and helped to rebuild their lives. The goal is to minimize hardship, respect rights, and promote sustainable development by planning relocation carefully, involving communities in decision-making, and offering financial or social support. Essentially, resettlement policies aim to balance progress with the well-being of those impacted, ensuring they are treated justly and their livelihoods are maintained or improved after displacement.
