Durable solution, access

Although they are presented as gender neutral, the three durable solutions available to the international community-local integration, repatriation, and re settlement—are also gendered in terms of access, experiences, and implications. 

There are still important technological breakthroughs that must be achieved for the fuel cell technology to be a realistic option for mass production. The major challenge seems to be the fuel cell itself, which today is made with heavy use of platinum as catalyst and with insufficient durability. Cheaper and more accessible catalysts and longer durability are necessary to achieve comparable costs. The ideal solution is a two-way fuel cell that can serve as an electrolyser, that is, produce hydrogen from electricity, when it does not use hydrogen to produce electricity, but this still seems a rather distant option. 

This chapter contributes to this growing momentum and summarizes disability issues within the context of forced displacement The chapter begins with a description of conceptual models of disabilily followed by an exposition of disabilily experiences in displacement settings. Next the chapter explores how disabilily affects access to durable (p. 421) solutions. The chapter concludes with propositions for future research and practice in this area.
