Given the extended duration of refugees staying in their host country, enhancing refugee self-reliance is vital to secure refugee livelihoods. Verbal rental arrangements seem to be increasingly used to access farmland as food rations are decreasing and land inside the settlement area is scarce. Because of the informal nature of customary land governance, tenure arrangements for refugees are additionally insecure.

The landscape of Pakistan is highly varied, with mountains, deserts and the vast, irrigated Indus River Valley providing distinctly different productive opportunities for the population of nearly 208 million people. Combined access to land and water is critical to rural productivity. The densely-settled Indus Basin Irrigation System (IBIS) is the breadbasket of the country and produces the commodities that drive industry, with raw cotton and cotton textiles accounting for some 50–60 percent of exports.
Disaster-induced displacement is on the rise. The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (Yonetani 2013; see Figure 1) estimates that in 2012 alone, 32.4 million people were displaced as a direct result of natural disasters or because they faced an acute threat of being affected by a natural disaster. These figures do not include populations affected by slower onset disasters such as drought and sea-level rise.
