Psychosocial Development and Advocacy Response Program for Internally Displaced Persons (PDP-IDP)

Posted in Programs and Services

This  program mobilizes psychosocial support to communities  displaced  by  armed  conflict   and   socio-natural disasters.  It  provides special  attention on  children and  women by  promoting child-friendly spaces and  education-in-emergencies.  It  facilitates the   formation  of  self-help  groups  of  women and strengthens the  network of  youth  peace advocates in  security challenged communities as well.  It also trains duty  bearers on psychosocial support in emergencies and disaster risk reduction and management.

This program also advances humanitarian protection by lobbying for the enactment of the IDP Protection Law and facilitating the access of civilians to justice by empowering and linking them with agencies that have a mandate to prevent internal displacement and secure civilians from harm.
