Abstract
This thesis examines how policy implementation can reduce the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nepal and improve their living conditions. Stemming from the armed conflict since 1996, the IDP population remains high but imprecisely counted, and a 2006 government policy has not met basic needs such as shelter, health care, and education. The main research question asks why the government has not implemented an effective policy to reduce the IDP population, with sub-questions on drivers of displacement, caste and class patterns, why government and NGO recovery programs have fallen short, and why durable solutions are needed. The study uses a qualitative design with semi-structured interviews selected through purposive sampling, complemented by secondary sources from prior studies and special publications; data are analyzed thematically. The analysis is situated within relevant theoretical perspectives. Findings indicate that the government bears responsibility to protect and assist IDPs through durable policies that enable return and reintegration and uphold human rights. The thesis offers recommendations for future research, guidance for IDPs seeking government support, and roles for the state in ensuring rights and lasting solutions.
Denne afhandling undersøger, hvordan politisk implementering kan reducere antallet af internt fordrevne personer (IDP’er) i Nepal og forbedre deres levevilkår. På baggrund af den væbnede konflikt siden 1996 er antallet af IDP’er betydeligt, men præcist ukendt, og en regeringspolitik fra 2006 har ikke imødekommet grundlæggende behov som bolig, sundhed og uddannelse. Den overordnede forskningsspørgsmål er, hvorfor regeringen ikke har implementeret en effektiv politik, der kan reducere IDP-befolkningen, suppleret af delspørgsmål om årsagerne til fordrivelse, kaste- og klassemæssige mønstre, årsager til manglende succes i offentlige og NGO-drevne indsatser samt behovet for varige løsninger. Studiet anvender en kvalitativ tilgang med semistrukturerede interviews udvalgt via formålsbestemt sampling, kombineret med sekundære kilder fra tidligere studier og særlige publikationer; dataene analyseres tematisk. Analysen relateres til relevante teoretiske perspektiver. Resultaterne peger på, at staten har ansvar for at beskytte og bistå IDP’er gennem holdbare politikker, der muliggør tilbagevenden og reintegration samt respekterer menneskerettighederne. Afhandlingen fremsætter anbefalinger for fremtidig forskning, for IDP’er i deres henvendelse til myndighederne og for regeringens rolle i at sikre rettigheder og varige løsninger.
