    This policy brief presents recommendations for finding durable solutions to prolonged displacement, based on field research in Fukushima since the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident. It considers the challenges of situations of prolonged displacement such as in Fukushima, including bottlenecks in policy, legal and institutional frameworks, and emphasizes the need for transparency, access to information and consultations with displaced populations.
