1. Assess and catalogue existing legal, administrative and policy frameworks that are applicable or relevant to the protection of general HLP rights in South Sudan within efforts towards durable solutions in South Sudan.
2. Analyse the cultural factors and other broader societal dynamics fueling, promoting and/or sustaining HLP issues within the broader approach towards attaining durable solutions among various fora.
3. Conduct a comprehensive stakeholder analysis of the groups that are influencing or could influence, positively or negatively, decisions, policy development and policy actions, and/or the implementation of such initiatives.
4. Analyse the correlation or general sociological interplay between persistent threats on HLP, and the potential of displaced communities achieving durable solutions.
5. Analyse the interest, roles, responsibilities and perceptions among stakeholders e.g. government, private sector, development and humanitarian stakeholders, and the affected populations regarding HLP in their relevant contexts(whether recovery, resilience etc.). From their perspectives, what do they think and how do they think the problem can be addressed?
6. Advance practical and pragmatic programmatic and policy recommendations to effectively address the HLP phenomenon in South Sudan to attain durable solutions. A comparative analysis of similar contexts, regionally and globally should be drawn. Recommendations should cover gaps, deficiencies and other inadequacies identified for the objectives mentioned.
