This review is the first step in creating a repository for research and a hub for the development, dissemination and transfer of knowledge to relevant actors. It will provide valuable insight to those seeking to promote legislative changes, inform policy development and ensure the appropriateness and effectiveness of interventions in the search for durable solutions for displaced Afghans in the region.

A total of 139 documents, published since 2012, on displacement in Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan with a focus on durable solutions, namely return and reintegration, local integration and resettlement, were catalogued. The studies were identified through an extensive search of websites, in English and local languages. The review highlights key features, gaps in methodology and topics, and makes recommendations for further study.
