MSS Receives Second IOM Report on Return and Reintegration Dynamics
DILI – MSS has received from IOM the second report from its Community-based Return Monitoring Project. The project aims to measure the effect on communities of recent large-scale return and reintegration of internally displaced persons (IDPs), and provides the Ministry with extremely useful data about the impact of IDP returns on the communities at large.
The report is based on a survey conducted between September and November, 2008, of more than one thousand chefe aldeia (village chiefs), women, returning IDPs and other community members across 222 communities in Dili. It focuses primarily on the effects on communities of population movements, stability, perceptions of access to services and livelihoods and ongoing assistance provided. The IOM Project has established a return monitoring network composed of IOM (which conducts surveys in 143 aldeias) Care International (32 aldeias), Catholic Relief Services (31 aldeias), BELUN (15 aldeias) and the Jesuit Refugee Service (1 aldeia).
The results showed that, while many communities did not raise specific concerns, some communities reported perceived challenges in receiving IDPs. These tended to be related to unresolved conflicts between community members and returning IDPs or to tensions arising over land and access to basic resources. Surveys of chefe aldeia reported that 64.8 per cent of the households displaced as a result of the 2006 Crisis have returned to their pre-Crisis villages, and 79 per cent of respondents indicated that the east-west tensions within their communities served as the primary cause of their displacement.
The IOM Monitoring Project is one element of a multi-faceted effort by the Government and partners to better understand the nature of tensions and conflicts that may negatively impact the sustainability of the return of the displaced to their communities.
“This data provided by IOM is important for the reintegration efforts of the Ministry of Social Solidarity and its partners”, said Minister of Social Solidarity, Maria Domingas Fernandes Alves. “The information it provides allows us to respond to potentially problematic areas and forestall tensions or other issues in communities currently coping with the reintegration process”, she added.
IOM’s regular monitoring is complemented by referrals of individual cases of concern. These cases, which are often related to occupied houses or protection issues, are directly referred to agencies capable of immediate response and follow-up.
The Ministry also helps displaced families to prepare for their return and reintegration and conducting, and the MSS/UNDP dialogue teams and partner organisations conduct case-by-case monitoring in communities.
The return and reintegration of IDPs in Timor-Leste is an ongoing process led by the Ministry of Social Solidarity. The 2006 Crisis resulted in the displacement of approximately 150,000 people. Since 1 January 2008, MSS has assisted with the reintegration to their former communities of over 11,700 families from over 60 IDP camps.
