To achieve the aforementioned, IDP Livelihood Agency carries out informational campaigns on a continuous basis. Through regular and effective coordination mechanism, the internally displaced persons (IDPs) have an opportunity to receive comprehensive information about scheduled programs and registration procedures.

To achieve its goals, the Agency closely cooperates with State Institutions and Municipalities, international and non-governmental organizations, public and private legal entities as well as individuals. In addition, the Agency actively participates in every initiated project, which considers the creation of livelihood for internally displaced persons (IDPs).
