he United Nations Human Settlements Program(UN-HABITAT) and its stakeholders shared on Wednesday experiences and lessonslearned on the realization of rights on land and housing for people indisadvantaged areas at a working meeting held under the European Union's Aid toUprooted People (AUP) program.
At the meeting, representatives from several institutions from eastern Indonesia gave their input on the implementation of land and housing-related rights of disadvantaged people, which will be included in the National Mid-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) for 2015-2019.
'The RPJMN 2015-2019 is critical because Indonesia will soon have a demographic bonus of productive-age people,' Deputy National Planning Minister Lukita Dinarsyah Tuwo said in his remarks at the working meeting, made available on Thursday.
A string of social and ethnic conflicts hampered Indonesia between 1998 and 2000, forcing around 1.3 million people from their homes in Aceh, Central Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Maluku and West Timor.
According to National Development Planning Board (Bappenas) data, the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the former Timor Leste currently stands at 24,524 households, 4,762 of which still live in IDP camps.
