Welcome to the Housing, Land and Property (HLP) eLearning!

The enforcement of HLP rights requires an enabling environment by duty bearers that will allow displacement affected populations to successfully claim and exercise these rights. This interactive eLearning module is designed to help duty bearers such as governments, related authorities, UN/INGO staff and local NGO/CBO staff build technical knowledge on the basic concepts of Housing Land & Property rights and collaborative dispute resolution.

The overall objective of the course is to equip these actors with a foundational understanding of key concepts that will enable them to identify and address HLP issues in their programme responses and support the enforcement of HLP rights.

This interactive eLearning instils learners with key guidance on addressing Housing, Land and Property issues. The learner journey consists of four modules and a short assessment, which users can access from the main course page:

  • An Introduction to Housing, Land and Property Rights;
  • Why is it important to address HLP issues?;
  • Housing Land and Property rights during  internal displacement;
  • Addressing Housing Land and Property disputes;
  • Final Assessment.

The modules are available in English.
