Description
The project monitors and accompanies more than 500 community programmes and 9500 family programmes in three areas of the country with the aim of complementing, harmonising or making more flexible the offer or state strategies that facilitate the socio-economic stabilisation and overall repair of the population in the process of repatriation and/or relocation.
The Victims Unit develops accompanying programmes related to housing, food security, income and employment, to families in the process of repatriation or individual or collective relocation in rural and urban areas.
Accompanying schemes include community and psychosocial actions to enable victims to acquire skills that will allow them to earn a decent living and integrate satisfactorily into the community.
These actions are combined in the return and relocation plans with other measures to assist, care for and compensate victims as a whole.
