The event was divided into two sessions: the first session focused on “Pakistan’s Experience with Internal Displacement” and the second session’s discussion was devoted to “Exploring Durable Solutions to the Protracted Afghan Refugee Crisis in Pakistan.” The roundtable brought together eminent speakers with expertise in domains of policy formation as well as implementation, along with academics with thorough knowledge on the subject.

They highlighted the plight of forcibly displaced populations and the need for systematised policymaking with contextual considerations.
