A/HRC/29/34 Karabakh region1 was critical to resolving the protracted situation of internal displacement. He emphasized that the inclusion of IDPs in development planning strategies in areas such as housing, education, health and employment was necessary to strengthen their resilience, livelihood opportunities and self-reliance. He stressed that IDPs must be fully involved in development planning decisions and processes and recommended that a survey of intent and a needs-based assessment be carried out in preparation for durable solutions (A/HRC/29/34/Add.1). Côte d’Ivoire 6. From 16 to 20 June 2014, two years after his official mission to Côte d’Ivoire, the Special Rapporteur visited Abidjan to assess the progress made in fostering durable solutions for IDPs. While the majority of IDPs had returned to their area of origin, he stressed the need for continued support to secure their basic needs and to rebuild their lives sustainably. IDPs in need of durable solutions must not be forgotten at a time when humanitarian actors were drawing down their activities. He stressed that the ratification by Côte d’Ivoire of the Kampala Convention in 2014 provided a framework for concerted action and he pointed out that IDPs must participate in national elections in 2015. Haiti 7. From 29 June to 5 July 2014, the Special Rapporteur visited Port-au-Prince to assess the overall situation of IDPs in Haiti, four years after the earthquake. He called for a transition from a largely humanitarian approach to development strategies that would include durable solutions for IDPs in the context of addressing vulnerability and extreme poverty. He reaffirmed the primary responsibility of the Government to work towards rights-based development approaches to alleviating poverty while incorporating durable solutions for IDPs (A/HRC/29/34/Add.2). Ukraine 8. From 16 to 25 September 2014, the Special Rapporteur visited Ukraine, including the Luhansk and Donetsk regions in eastern Ukraine. He urged the Government to intensify its efforts to meet the needs and protect the human rights of IDPs from the conflict-affected eastern region and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Noting the lack of comprehensive data on the number, location and needs of displaced persons, he stressed that full registration and profiling of IDPs, including needs assessments, were essential. Registration procedures should be harmonized to ensure access for IDPs to essential services, employment and livelihood opportunities, and to enable them to vote in future elections (A/HRC/29/34/Add.3). Central African Republic 9. From 10 to 14 February 2015, the Special Rapporteur visited the Central African Republic on a joint mission with the Assistant Secretary-General of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the Director of Operations of the Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection department of the European Commission. The delegation visited Bambari, Yaloke, Mpoko and PK5 in Bangui. The Special Rapporteur stressed the need to ensure the safety and freedom of movement of IDPs, while protecting the way of life of nomadic groups. He welcomed the ratification by the Central African Republic of the Kampala Convention, but urged that consultations for the national dialogue (the Bangui Forum on National Reconciliation) be truly inclusive of IDPs. 1 4 Any reference to the territories in and around the Nagorno-Karabakh region should be understood to be in full compliance with General Assembly resolution 62/243 of 14 March 2008.
