This paper reviews existing literature on return migration and reintegration processes. The author argues that the mobile livelihood patterns and capacities of displaced populations must be taken into account when donors and agencies plan and support reintegration processes. The paper explains how sustainable return migration can also involve continued mobility within and across national borders. The author lists a number of tasks that involved aid agencies may undertake in support of the return and reintegration of displaced populations in regard to information, access to land and property and development.
