Description
This policy brief gathers 50 years of evidence from around the world of failed development-forced displacement and resettlement projects. It spells out the myths that reproduce and justify the practice of displacement and calls for a moratorium on funding of large scale projects that displace people. It offers alternative, human-scale options to cover land needs of development projects deemed necessary.
