This brief focuses on the period of
displacement and seeks to outline the impact of refugees on
neighboring countries, including the developmental
implications of forced displacement. The study has two main
sections. The first section describes trends in the
distribution of refugees in asylum countries. A series of
graphs and tables highlights the fact that the largest
percentage of refugees is found in countries neighboring
their country of origin, most of which are middle-income
countries. The second section discusses how neighboring
countries that host refugees for protracted periods
experience long-term economic, social, political, and
environmental impacts. Furthermore, it also shows that in
terms of the impacts and the opportunities that the presence
of refugees create, there can be winners and losers among
both the displaced and their hosts. Finally, this brief
presents examples of global experience of development
interventions that have focused on mitigating the negative
aspects of large-scale and protracted displacement and
strengthening the productive capacities of refugees in host countries. |
