Advanced Learning Program on Resettlement and Livelihoods
20 to 24 February 2017

Philippines

Acquire knowledge on addressing involuntary resettlement and livelihood restoration in development projects.

Through Asian Development Bank's Regional Technical Assistance 7566: Strengthening the Use of Country Safeguard Systems, this learning program will discuss key learnings on resettlement and livelihoods on urban and rural resettlement projects in Asia. It will also engage resettlement practitioners in Asia to explore the creation of a sustained virtual network that will exist beyond the event, allowing for a longer-term dialogue on resettlement and livelihood issues that will contribute to on-going capacity building in the region.
