The NRC HLP Training Manual was developed In in 2010 in collaboration with IDMC and with funding from ECHO to improve understanding of HLP issues among humanitarian organisations across countries, contexts and sectors.

Housing, land and property (HLP) issues are at the core of NRC’s programmatic and advocacy activities. Assisting individuals and groups to access their HLP rights is one of the main objectives of NRC’s Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) programme, while Shelter, Livelihoods & Food Security and WASH programmes also explicitly include HLP dimensions. Addressing HLP issues is fundamental to contribute to durable solutions and the protection of the rights of displaced populations and other populations affected by conflict or disaster.
