I. INTRODUCTION

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is an independent, humanitarian non-governmental organization that provides assistance, protection, and durable solutions to refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) worldwide. NRC has been operational in Northeast Nigeria since 2015 and expanded its operations to Plateau State in North-Central Nigeria in 2022. The organization implements integrated core competencies, including Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Shelter, Education, Food Security, and Information, Counselling, and Legal Assistance (ICLA). The ICLA programme aims to support Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), returnees, and host community members in claiming and exercising their Housing, Land, and Property (HLP) rights. This is achieved through the provision of information, counselling, and legal assistance, as well as the strengthening of institutional and community-level capacities to prevent and respond to HLP violations. HLP rights are central to achieving durable solutions and ensuring equitable access to land and housing for displacement-affected populations in Northeast Nigeria.
