| Summary: | This note discusses the development
challenge of finding durable solutions for refugees and
Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs), and the relevance of
this challenge for the World Development Report (WDR) on
securing development in fragile and conflict affected
settings. The note will describe (i) the scale, trends, and
impact of forced displacement; (ii) the development
challenge of finding durable solutions for those displaced;
(iii) current practice on addressing this development
challenge; (iv) the connections between the political,
security and developmental aspects of forced displacement
including regional spillover and impacts; and (v)
suggestions as to what governments and the international
development community can do in order to move beyond
humanitarian emergency assistance and contribute to durable
solutions for refugees and IDPs in return or displacement situations. |
