Internally Displaced Persons – 2013
2013
Intermediate Implementation
Nepal Peace Trust Fund reported that the estimated 50,000 IDPs who were displaced during the conflict were rehabilitated in 73 different districts. The project cost about five million USD.1 However, many of those who were displaced during the conflict were not returning back to their communities. Part of the reason was related to the rebel control over their land and property. The Maoist party has committed to return confiscated land and property to its rightful owner but this has yet to happen.2
