protection from forced displacements and protection and assistance to displaced persons in their own country. 445. The law defines the roles and responsibilities in matters of protection against internal displacements and it makes reference to sustainable solutions, particularly the voluntary return to their places of origin, local integration into their location of displacement and establishment elsewhere in the country. 446. Niger is recording a huge influx of migrants at its borders with some countries such as Libya, Mali and Nigeria. To better control this phenomenon, the activities under the monitoring project of migratory flows at the borders of the seven (7) regions of Niger were launched on 10 April, 2019. 447. This project aims at establishing a mechanism for identifying persons in need of international protection from the border police posts to enable them take advantage all the rights provided under their status as migrants and more particularly illegal migration. 448. The monitoring of migratory flows which has been in existence for one year, is implemented by the Ministry of the Interior with the financial support of the International Committee for Emergency Assistance and Development (CIAUD-Canada) in Niger and it affects the regions of Niamey, Tillabéry, Dosso, Tahoua, Maradi, Zinder and Diffa. 449. The Government adopted a National Border Policy for 2019-2025 and its Plan of Action on 4 October 2019. This policy falls within the national and international context characterized by several issues relating to security, migration, development of border spaces and cross-border cooperation. Its overall objective is to promote the control of national borders, promote peace, security, sustainable development and cross-border cooperation. XI. RIGHT TO PROPERTY/ RIGHT TO WORK Take the necessary measures to facilitate access to housing for low-income people. 450. Just like other rights, the right to housing as a right to property is well protected both by Article 28 of the Constitution and by other related enactments. Every individual has a right to property and cannot be denied except for reasons of public utility and subject to a fair and prior compensation. Furthermore, both customary and civil laws are protected in the same breadth even though under customary law the problem often posed is the rigidity of the evidence. 451. The right to housing occupies a priority position in the human rights directory due to the specific importance ascribed to it by the authorities; the latter are convinced that it is a critical right for the economic and social development of the country. This is manifested by the adoption of significant context maps, including: - Law No.98-054 of 29 December 1998, on the national housing policy which defines the guidelines and financing procedures to promote the production of housing, including the establishment of a Specific Bank; - Law No. 2013-28 of 12 June 2013, determining the fundamental principles of town and country planning and urban development; - Law No. 2018-28 of 27 August 2018 determining the fundamental principles of construction and housing; - Decree No. 2018-255/PRN of 12 April, 2018, changing the name of the Ministry of Housing to the Ministry in charge of Housing. 91
