Date: 2018-12-21

The video shows processes undertaken under the ‘Housing, Land and Property Rights of Yazidis in Sinjar District, Iraq’ project, in which GLTN in close collaboration with UN-Habitat Iraq country office have been working to facilitate the sustainable return of the Yazidi community to their original home and the recognition of their property rights. Interventions towards this include the adaptation of the STDM tool and process to collect, analyze data in the project area, and map land/property boundaries, mapping and verification of property and land claims and the issuance of certificates of occupancy by the local authority to protect rights. Over 1000 households were issued with tenure documents for the first time in history in August 2017.
