To complete a resettlement process for any project, Surveyors, Engineers, Environmental experts, Sociologists, Valuers and communication experts must provide input. All experts who contribute to the resettlement process belong to different professional bodies, which have their own ethics and codes of conduct. Existence of varying bodies notwithstanding, there is not a known single body in Uganda and probably in the region, that brings Resettlement Practitioners together or puts any checks and balances in place.

Given the above background, IPREP seeks to become a transformational expedition that catapults members’ resettlement management skills to another horizon. Together, members shape a future where project implementation provides advantages to affected people, avails development opportunities, and generates lifelong worth and improvement to communities, where projects displace or resettle people.
