In 2026, we will be organizing Participatory Forums which are local-level gatherings designed for shared analysis, agenda-setting, and validating research with displaced and host communities.

The upcoming Participatory Forums will bring together municipal authorities, community leaders, civil society, and returnees to:

• Co-design city-level priorities and projects for reintegration.

• Strengthen coordination between local governments and communities.

• Identify livelihood opportunities across green, blue, and purple economies (environment, coastal, and care sectors).

• Build inclusive dialogues on governance, socio-economic resilience, protection, and equality.
