UNDP gives identification documents to IDPs

 

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has initiated a program to provide important legal documents the displaced people lost due to the ethnic conflict or the tsunami.

The program, as a part of UNDP's Equal Access to Justice Project, conducts mobile clinics where the displaced can come and obtain all their lost documents such as identification cards, birth certificates, and land deeds etc. from one place within a day.

The lack of identification cards and other legal documents severely hampers the resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in original homes and family reunification.

Mobile clinic offers a one-stop shop to get all the documents in one day and the displaced are spared a costly trip to city offices.
