• Ministry changes its approach towards socio-economic problems of
IDPs. Durable Housing remains a top priority, but gradually more
emphasis will be upon their employment, vocational training and
realization of business projects. For this purpose, the Ministry had
set up IDP livelihood agency (LEPL).
• Main direction of the LEPL is to improve socio-economic conditions
of IDPs.
• One of the main goals of the LEPL is to create projects and
programs according to the IDP needs and to cooperate with other
governmental and non-governmental organizations for their
effective implementation.
IDP livelihoods – for the dignified future
